Quickie update....

....in that there isn't one, really.  Home treatment (flipping body back and forth like Linda Blair on crack, hanging head over couch for 30 minutes with massager vibrating my skull as if THAT's fun, etc) actually seemed to make a difference for a few days, then I progressively got worse over the last 8-10 days, so it was back on the chair again yesterday.  Sigh.

When I was there 2 weeks ago, my doc thought my left anterior canal was showing more eye movement so home treatment has been to target left anterior, but now we're back to right anterior again...so, we've got that going for us, I suppose.  I'm supposed to see if the chair worked and do nothing for a few days, then will go back to home treatment again if not, this time targeting the right anterior canal.  I did sleep completely upright last night just as a precaution, and that was so weird!  It started out fine, but somehow in the middle of the night I slumped down and was in the weirdest position ever - I mean really, other than Gumby and dead people, nobody should be able to bend their necks that way....so then I had to reposition.  We'll see if it helped - in theory, it couldn't hurt.  And on that note, thank God I found a massage therapist who has a chair and can come to the house!!!  He came once last week - I've never had such a sore and tight neck and back so I'm sure it'll take a few times, but I could have cried I was so grateful to finally get some relief from my neck tension after sleeping on so many pillows.

On a happy note, had a LOVELY visit from my bosses last week - I'm so incredibly grateful to work for 2 such wonderful ladies, and I was so touched they would come see me.  It was so nice!

Onward and upward.  Crystals - go back to your home!!!!!

Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear the relief was fleeting. I hope this is under control soon!!
