I’m feeling a lot better now, after almost a whole day of feeling like I’ve been on board ship. At dinner last night it just came over me. In the night I couldn’t get up with the baby, the husband reluctantly did. Every time I put my head down, the room started spinning. Once I was in one position, like lying in bed, it stopped so I just wanted to stay there. It has got gradually better throughout the day today luckily, however isn’t it just so much harder to be a mum when you feel like crap?!
The baby has been so good as always but I’m sure the older kids do even more to wind me up, or I’m just extra sensitive to all the bickering and attitude coming from them in buckets. Then there is my daughter who still wants to play Play Doh and Barbies, which is the last thing you want to do when you’d rather curl up on the sofa (sadly that possibility is impossible with three kids to look after) .
I have gone through spells like this before but often it goes away when I get up in the morning. It is one way of being ill which really makes me nervous however. My mum had a serious experience with Vertigo when I was younger and all I remember was she literally lay on the sofa for a week because she couldn’t move, everything was spinning and when ever she sat up she was sick and I’m terrified that will happen to me one day.
