The cause of my dizziness

25 March 2008 by Two Crazy Dogs

Thanks for all the kinds wishes you guys left for me….they are quite hilarious which did crack a smile on my face. You guys think I’m pregnant, huh? Haha, not a chance, coz it won’t happen.

I actually just got back from urgent care. The doc said I have labyrinthitis or what they call Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. I feel really dizzy especially changing positions from left, right, up, down or looking up. No treatment for this problem. This will last for a few days, weeks or months. When I heard it will take a few days or weeks let alone months, it totally bummed me out - you know how active I am! The doc told me to wait it out unless I take motion sickness medication which is a NO for me. I don’t want to feel like a “space cadet” all the time. The doc told me if the symptoms of BPPV persist for more than 3 weeks, I have to see my reg doc where she will refer me to a physical therapist who specializes with BPPV. I will come in to work tomorrow and not move around too much - sit at my desk the best thing, no stairs or quick turns of my head, that’s what the doc told me, plus no driving at all till I have no signs of dizziness. I feel so helpless. The boys are dang bugging me for their walks. Sorry guys.

I called the stupid dentist to cancel my appointment for this afternoon, the receptionist told me there will be a $50 cancellation fee. How absurd is that? I will call again and tell them to shove it up their butt coz I’m not going to lay on that whatever you call that “bed” where they will tilt you where I will feel like I’m sorta turned upside down. I rather suck it up, pay that $50 than feel nauseaus and dizzy. I’m now officially a “ditz”!

What??? $50 to cancel appointment? I did not know dentists could do that. My goodness, they will find ways to make a killing on other people’s pocket.

J.T., It’s ok, not a problem at all. I am just disappointed with them that they definitely lost a very loyal customer.

What causes BPPV?

Sue the dentist hahaha

Che-Cheh’s last blog post..Simple ‘Mom’ That Makes Us Happy

Some kind of build up in the inner ear that becomes hard and is “clanging” around in the ear. It eventually falls off but takes time. Sue the dentist, I would rather not give him any business and save my money.

That’s really “daylight robbery”, 50 bucks to cancel an appt! Tell them you need to charge them 100 bucks for you to call to cancel the appt, so they owe you 50 bucks now!

So sad.. no baby! we want you to have a baby la, dear, can’t you just make us all happy??

Daylight robbery to the max. They won’t be seeing me in the near future. Very belagak.

Sorry la, no baby in the making. Old already

Why so expensive ? Day light robbery.
Anyway I hope you are a lot more better now.
Btw anything wrong with your inner ear ?

Isn’t it terrible of them? It really pisses me off when I heard that. The doc said there is no liquid in my inner ears. Just lucky i guess.

You tell your dentit, wants my medical chit? Sick how to go for dentist appoinment? Works also cannot go ah? Crazy ah? So “Fatt Chin Hon”, might as well go & rob? Hehehe……….

This stupid dentist office just had a big time renovation to their office maybe that’s why they are charging that extra $$. Cilaka betul.

I am a doctor of audiology and urge you to go to dizzy.com, the American Institute of Balance’s website and look for a provider in your area. BPPV is very treatable. If you have additional questions I can be reached at nancyshawhart@aol.com
