Am I mad?

[Tel_Tech]

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?

No not mad, just quirky ...

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?

Did he actually sign you off or not?

Nope, he simply suggested I take time off and take things easy. If he'd signed me off I'd probably be at home being lazy, but my work doesn't take kindly to sick leave unless you have a doctors note to go with it.

face plant something really expensive that will show em

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.

labyrinthitis by any chance?

[TiG]

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.

Pretty sure it's mild for me at the moment, just feels like I'm stood in a boat on slightly rough water. Sometimes the room starts spinning but normally it's just an unsteady feeling

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.

You might aswell try and get sometime of work. Could be due to stress or something, anyway better to be safe that sorry. You dont wanna end up injuring yourself or somene else.
