Am I mad?
My girlfriend says I'm mad. The doctor has diagnosed me with an inner ear problem meaning I'm dizzy to differing degree's pretty much constantly. I've fallen over (like a tit) a few times in the last week because of it and it is indeed bugging the crap out of me.
He stuck me on some tablets and suggested I take 2 weeks off work and rest, yet here I am at work, stumbling around trying not to break anything expensive. Am I mad?

You are not Mad, you are a health and safety person's walking nightmare and an accident just waiting to happen...
 Anyone else read that and have a vision of the M&S adverts in their head?

Re: Am I mad?
Tel_tech, a mate of mine suffers with the same thing, when it got really bad to the way you described it the doctor signed him off for 3 months, we rarely saw him in work, he was prescribed unfit to drive as well.
I think you might need to go back for a second opinion. If you are falling over dizzy thats very bad. TiG

Re: Am I mad?
I don't know the exact medical diagnosis, he keeps that to himself, all i saw was the symptoms, looking like he was drunk etc, I know even several years later he's on daily prescription medication to keep the situation in check.
Hard to imagine how it feels but, i can imagine it feels much worse for the sufferer. TiG

Re: Am I mad?
Tel Tech - if you're rich, you're not mad. If you're poor you're mad.
What's the difference between genius and insanity? The amount of money you have.
