Been having some dizziness over the past two days. Saw the doc today. They're going to treat it as a sinus/ear/cold/virus thing for a week. No obvious culprits. Initial neurological/reflex exams were fine. A little hand trembling when trying to touch doc's finger and then my nose with my own index finger as he moved aforementioned medical personnel finger around. Don't know if the hand trembling is anything. I've had a bit of it for much of my adult life. My dad has a touch of it. Anywho: After a week, if things haven't cleared up, they'll schedule an MRI.
Don't know why, but that phrase "we'll schedule an MRI" was quite ominous. Never had one. Know it's going to be about my head. Yada yada yada.
Would appreciate yer prayers.

I am praying for you.
Posted by: David Richards at January 27, 2006 04:12 PMYou've got my prayers, too, Clifton. I had an MRI once, or was it a CAT scan? I'm not sure... It was a full body deal, in the ER after a car accident. Anyway, it had initials.
Posted by: Doug at January 27, 2006 06:22 PMI'm with Susie, anything with initials is a scary prospect. You have my humble prayers.

The dizziness does not seem to have been relieved by the medication, but perhaps it takes a few days (this is just now the first full 24 hours of taking it).
My cold symptoms on the other hand are getting the smack-down from the Robitussin. Cool!
Posted by: Clifton D. Healy at January 28, 2006 10:18 PMSomething more reassuring...
Both of my brother-in-laws, my spouse, and I had a touch of a sinus-related flu (that eventually developed into a secondary sinus infection for all involved). The main symptom beyond the obvious for sinus infections--dizziness. No sinus medications would help. It eventually just went away.
