I had to get carryed to the doctors eariler because I couldnt stand AT ALL lol.. and he told me I had vertigo which is basically this


Vertigo (from the Latin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin) vertigin-, vertigo, "dizziness," originally "a whirling or spinning movement," from vertere "to turn"[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertigo_%28medical%29#cite_note-0)) is a specific type of dizziness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dizziness), a major symptom of a balance disorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_disorder). It is the sensation of spinning or swaying while the body is actually stationary with respect to the surroundings.

The effects of vertigo may be slight. It can cause nausea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nausea) and vomiting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomiting) and, in severe cases, it may give rise to difficulties with standing and walking.


i actually sat a whole exam not being able to lift my head off the desk lol.. and when i got home i was nearly throwing up just by moving my head it was awfull :( and he gave me an injection, and he was like 'we can either do it in your bottocks or your arm.. and i was like ARM PLS.
