Dizzy

I woke up dizzy today. In fact, I think the dizziness is what actually woke me up. It hasn't been a constant dizziness though, more of a every few minutes type of thing. Sitting, standing, lying down,  or not moving doesn't seem to make a difference. It just happens. If I'm standing I lose my balance so the walls, tables, counters, etc. are my friends today.  

I don't think it's vertigo. It doesn't feel or look like anything is spinning. It's so hard to explain . . . Maybe it feels like my brain itself is being shaken left to right and then up and down? Or, more precisely like my brain has been encased in cotton balls and then is being shaken left to right and up and down, like a fuzzy shaking feeling. Maybe my brain is shivering? See? Like I said, it's hard to explain.

This isn't a new thing. Usually it happens from headlights at night or their reflection on wet roads. Also, it can happen from sunlight or those stupid lights in Walmart. Yes, I wear sunglasses almost constantly when I'm not at home. I do go outside without them, but only because I know I am "safe" on my own property and can get inside soon or have my husband or son bring my sunglasses to me. I have not only been given funny looks while in stores, but also have received comments about it too. Yes, random stranger who doesn't know me, IT IS really bright in here!  Thanks for asking!

The irony about always wearing sunglasses? I pretty much always wear eye makeup when I go practically anywhere. Sometimes just a very light neutral shadow and mascara, but most of the time I really do up my eye makeup. Meaning I do the smokey eye, different liner looks, try to create my own looks, etc., and then no one ever gets to see my eyes.

There are tricks that I use and do work sometimes. For example, I will try to focus on something or close my eyes and listen to music and try to sing along to it in my head. Like I said, it only works sometimes and others I have to lean, sit, or sometimes have fallen.   

So that's my big problem today. Hopefully, when I wake up tomorrow the dizziness will be gone.
