the nurse with an iron paw
I spent yesterday in bed with labyrinthitis - which means you can't
move your head at all or everything spins round for a minute. Chloe decided to help by planting herself full length on my chest and purring point-blank into my face. With occasional visits from Ollie and Marblecake pinioning one arm or the other, I felt a bit like Gulliver waking up in Lilliput to find himself staked to the ground. Kept the dizzy spells at bay, though. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

Is it the same thing? Sounds pretty miserable whatever you call it! Chloe decided to help by planting herself full length on my chest and purring point-blank into my face.

Vertigo is the symptom, labyrinthitis is the explanation (inflammation of the inner ear caused by infection). In this case it was mild and probably viral. There seems to be a local epidemic of it, Marion's gym teacher got it a couple of days later, exactly the same symptoms as mine. Some kinds of labyrinthitis can be permanently and severely disabling, sometimes leading to meningitis. Mine was nothing like that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
