Inner ear issue, maybe?

Sorry you're experiencing the V too, Amber.  Mine is almost gone, but fir some thoughts and extreme head movements paired with eye movement....when I'm testing for it.

I can move head....all normal, but pair with eye movement up and it's back.  Like the cat stretch ..almost a tension thing rather than ear rock/ inner ear thing.  Plus, the thought thing....just baffling.

Maybe a combination of things?

Met when the rangers, if I didn't post about it.  And the tree guy.  All very nice fellas and they got a long swimmingly. Hoping my involvement won't be necessary going forward, but will see.

All laundry done....mostly folded or placed on beds.  House is off Airbnb for now.  Felt weird to leave it unfinished, but I have things going on at home.  Getting ready for Nutcracker performance with DD22 now.  Will pick up a Christmas tree and write cards at coffee shop to put in mail this evening.

Cookie baking next!

My version is even less frequent and more sporadic, Lighter.
Not serious enough to address the symptom directly - so I've been gently working on possible underlying (potential) causes: bp, kidney support, etc.

There is a noticeable emotional side to it though - though the emotion itself varies. Sometimes just "not being in my body" (too much in my head or whatever.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Amber.  I know there's an emotional component for me.  Likely many underlying issues.  Sometimes I wonder if mindful self care is the cure, rather than the vitamin Bs, milk thistle, Heart Saver Plus and Hawthorne, kwim, etc, kwim?

My BP seems to have settled down, btw☃️

Well... the milk thistle is only liver support (detoxing). I doubt that's involved with the vertigo. The B vits are useful after age 50, in general. Perhaps some D3? Not a large dosage... in fact, I've come to the conclusion that less is more these days. Enough to positively impact a symptom, not enough to convince the body to be dependent on it. (Second thought: there are some heavy metals churned up from the Helene flooding... the milk thistle could help move anything you've taken in, out of your system. Green tea and Dandelion Root tea will help too.)

Kidneys can have some indirect impact on proprieception... I use a tincture (occasionally for a few days) called "David Winston's Kidney support compound" from H&A... Herbalist Alchemist. The dosages are just 10 drops in an 8 ounce glass of water, once a day. Seems to effective at that rate without going overboard.

I so far haven't found a pill, tincture or tea that keeps the rest of my "being" on an even keel however... LOL.

I'm taking D3 K2 Omega 3 MCT oil, as well.  Will look into kidney support/cleans, thanks.

I had a dizzy spell while watching a 3 or so to leave the blanket with his year old? Sibling seated in the yard ....the child walked towards the road and I slowed and watched till the world started to spin.

I stopped about 3 doors down and pondered consequences of making sure the unsupervised children stayed safe....
me.... approaching young children....with a cute pug.....
expressing, ever so gently, concern, which might be taken as an attack/criticism from a may be kidnapper enticing children with the cutest pug maybe alive.

And, so I sat there till the vertigo and possible consequences made me change pedals and go on my way.

Definitely an emotional component, yup yup yup.

Damn.
I'm really sorry the vertigo is so persistent, Lighter.

Have inner ear problems been ruled out by an ENT?

Next stop, maybe a neurological check?

Steady on...

I've not made time for the dizzy clinic, Hops.  I'll do that, at some point, and not feel bad for waiting. 

Lighter

No feeling bad! I have a whole list (teeth, eyes, ears, skin) of checks I need to get done. Tedious. Especially to find a new dentist. My long-term clinic (university based) had some retirements and short staffing to cope with so I was just assigned a new dentist, and after two meetings I don't want him. Nothing nefarious, he just has zero chairside manners and I confess I need to be greeted like a person, not a mouth. He's in such a rush that I can barely grasp the procedure as he dashes off to the Next Thing. He actually dashes behind the chair the second he comes in without eye contact or a convincing hello. I'm sure he has reasons, just doesn't work w/me.

I asked for a transfer to a more seasonsed dentist in the same practice and the manager (via receptionist) said I'm not allowed. I have to see him or nobody. I didn't like that, so emailed the chairman my polite confusion. I thought 2nd opinions (about a long and expensive rebuild of a bridge, with another tooth sacrifice) were a respected part of medicine? Pfftt. I never really blame staff or doctors though, just the situation.

Lordy, Hops.....trust in a dentist is important!
I go to a practice where the hygienist treats me like a child...... exactly what I look for. Gentle, kind and funny.  I guess I take whichever dentist is available....I think I've seen 2 so far.  It seems unreasonable to force you into seeing one, of many, dental practitioners, IME.

Good luck finding a better fit.  You shouldn't feel forced. Hope the bridge works out soon.

I'm having fun discussing possible wedding event with bride for this summer at the lake.

I love making moss and fern table and chandelier arrangements.  I love planning the food, tables, chairs and logistics.....making things special....making them work. This would be an alcohol free event, so more appealing to us.

The lake property is paused on the Airbnb site.  Something had to give and we're heading into tree planting time....heavy equipment and lots of noise and mess.

Will go there soon and make big fires in the living room.  Plot out tables for 70 and price out rentals vs purchasing.

I hope the tiny thin ferns grow back at the RR ties.

OOO... that does sound like fun Lighter! Spring wedding? June?

Maybe "events" would be the best use of the lake house? Does AirBnb let you choose a category like this?
