What do you think??
I had some thing strange happen the other day Wednesday, I was out racking my lawn and I went to get a drink of water and I was sweating and got light headed and when I went to walk away I almost fell or passed out. I was sweating so bad by now it was like I was under the shower. I just laid down on the lawn hoping it would pass. no so I got up and made it to my bed and stillsweating I soaked my bed and I couldn't move my head with out getting lightheaded kinda like bed spins. I ended up sleeping till 5:30 then to 11:00 then to 1:30 then I got up at 8am. I can only think it was mild food poisoning or dehidration? only a guess . Julie thinks it could be a small stroke and wants me to go to the Dr. Ifelt like I had a hang over yesterday.

Seriously, raise both arms up in front of you, see if one starts dropping a little more than the other.

If there's any doubt you should check it out. Not to alarm but there's a chance it could have been a very mild heart incident.

I so do not want to go to the Dr. But I guess it is for the best.
He is not going to know right off the bat and there are going to
be so many stupid tests I just hate.

It turns out to be an inner ear infection which affects you balance and it is almost like being sea sick, so he gave me a drug to take right when it starts to make it go away, when I asked about climbimg rocks and fishing the answer was not the one I wanted to hear. He called it Vertigo. I won't be fishing alone.

Not unless you don't hop up on the widowmaker at Watch Hill with your inner ear infection and a running swell

Been there. Woke up one fine morning dizzy, like I was drunk. Staggered down stairs and threw up. Laid on the couch for a week with the spins. Sucked. I hope it never comes back. Good luck. |

Had a boss with the same problem in the early 90's...guy was a saint, and all of a sudden he told me he hated me so much he wanted to punch me (I was a night manager, he was the owner)...turned out they thought it was allergies, then a brain tumor, then finally figured out it was a chronic inner ear infection, put tubes in his ear and he was fine (he was 65).
Also, my ex-wife (hence the term ex) was crazy..on 200 mg of zoloft a day, seeing two shrinks (one with me), she finally left and the day before we were supposed to get divorced, they did a cat scan and found out she had a huge tumor growing all in her inner ear workings.
She almost died from the brain surgery, and is now deaf, but I saw her two days ago while I was walking down the street...she's deaf in one ear, but other than that she's awesome and a great friend to have.
Funny how the inner ear stuff can really rock your world.
Later,
Rick

Bob - glad to hear you are Ok. PI is still producing and you won't have any rocks to fall off of.
I had a similar experiance a few years ago. I was in Maine at my camp and had all the symptoms you have especially the sweats. I soaked the bedding through and through. I didn't get to the sawbones til a week passed and the only reason he could come up with was that I was bitten by deer tics - causing the reaction. By that time most symptoms were gone, but he did put me on antibiotics anyways.
