Vertigo completely gone at times. Noticing big feelings being it back today.
I made Greek Sammie's, salads and last night's homemade Mac and cheese for elderly neighbors.....vertigo completely gone for that.
Got mad at terrible traffic and people not thinking.....vertigo back, but still very externalized. . like a reminder. Not to STOP everything and sit me down, like before.
Walked pug.....zero vertigo.

OOOOO that's interesting Lighter. You noticing when the vertigo "reminds you" what you're doing otherwise that you're not really paying attention to.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
We were beginning to grill/smoke brisket last night. Finally sat down together on porch for a catch-up & smoke when we both heard a POP. What was that? He put it down to grill heating up. Then the smoke was obvious; grill was on fire. He ran the outside steps; I ran inside & grabbed downstairs extinguisher. He'd already pulled propane bottle off (had welding gloves outside). Then he pulled the meat off (Amber runs upstairs for pan big enough to hold it & back down)... without propane, the grill quickly extinguished itself, although closer examination waits for light of day (glass in lid shattered; temp gauge probably gone; grill is toast).
Never felt dizzy at all in that "action-moment". Dinner is salvaged I think. He went to bed when I got up at 6:30. It's sauced & rubbed and back in a slow oven already... after he trimmed the char off last night.

Yikes, y'all are salivating through the screen!
(I need to clean my monitor anyway, LOL.)
So glad you averted disaster, leapt into action like Supergirl, saved the food.
I ate chicken intentionally. Didn't feel happy but did notice a subtle good change.
I know I am not getting enough protein. I have to learn my Instapot, which so intimidates me with its diggggggitalness that I haven't used it yet.
Lighter's lentils are calling and it's about darn time I made some. It shouldn't hurt my back much. That was the whole point of getting the thing.
hugs
Hops

Lots to unpack, Lighter. Definitely sounds like focusing yourself and your immediate family is the way forward. Which we all know anyway, but sometimes we all need that reminder xx
