I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was a dizzy one. No, that was not a typo. I was hit with a bout of vertigo. My first whirl, and I am not a fan. If anyone has any input or suggestions, please leave them in the comments or email me.
But enough about me.
Now for some good news. Our sweet Lucy said her first word, and it is on video.
Can anyone guess what the word was?
Mama!!!!!
Happy Cyber Monday.
Baby Lucy loves her singing bunny, who plays peek-a-boo with his ears.
Rumor has it that Santa is delivering Puddles, who barks and wags his tail to Lucy.
He's presently 62% off!

So very sorry to hear about your dizziness. Please talk to an ear doctor or a physical therapist to get the crystals in your ear realigned. I know, I know it sounds crazy but I keep meeting older women (not your age - they are much older and over 40!) who have experienced this same phenomenon out of the blue. Somehow your crystals in your ears get out of wack and you need to go to someone who can show you the motions to reset them. Good luck. On another note: THANK YOU and your CA friend for the milea recommendation. I've been at it for 6 weeks now and I'm seeing results. I had tried everything ( or so I thought). Please do a guest host with this friend so we can see her other recommendations!
ReplyDeleteWas going to give same advise...here is MAyo Clinic info... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-bppv-dizziness-caused-by-inner-ear-crystals/
DeleteYes ! Go to ENT doctor .. I just had vertigo and they adjusted the crystals with some simple head maneuvers and I am 💯 now !
ReplyDeleteHope you get relief soon. Curious if the Dr. you see will mention the crystals. My husband had a bad bout with vertigo last spring . He saw a lot of doctor’s but I don’t remember mentioning crystals but I’m going to ask him.
ReplyDeleteLucy’s first word! We’re you there when she said it?
A lot of great gift ideas, and agree that Kate’s ornament is not a flattering likeness.
No mention of it. My favorite PA left the practice and the new one gave me a boatload of steroids to take. I should look like Schwarzeneger by Friday. No' I was not there for Lucy's Mama Moment but luckily her Mama was videotaping her.
DeleteI started having episodes of tinnitus and vertigo about three years ago, so bad that the dizziness would cause awful nausea and I couldn't walk around for usually eight hours or so. My doctor gave me Betahistine which is mild, no side effects and helps a lot. I also read that daily Magnesium supplements of 100mg also helps. Since I started taking Magnesium daily, I get a mild episode only once or twice a year, which the Betahistine takes care of. Hope this helps, this ailment can be a nightmare and quite debilitating.
ReplyDeleteBetahistine takes care of.
Thank you so your recommendation. I left a message for my PA for Betahistine.
DeleteGet on YouTube and find the Epley Maneuver. You can do it at home, and it will help tremendously. You may want to have the mister or someone with you in case you get really dizzy sitting up after the maneuver. Repeat several times a day until it goes away. Over the counter Meclizine helps too. Good luck. I know how horrible vertigo makes you feel. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. I’d be happy to help. This will give you immediate relief. 9037380224.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dorian! I will try it today. I will have the Mister "spot" me however no cameras in the room allowed.
DeleteThat little Lucy is adorable! Question for you...can you share your wall color? I've been searching through posts, and will email you too. I know you've got nothing but time on your hands this month. Hope that vertigo gets resolved. Thank you, Carol S.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol... what pic are you looking at? Email me.
DeleteI had vertigo in 2016 and it was quite an experience. As another person said you can Google exercises for vertigo and start doing them. I personally liked the half somersault exercise. I tried PT, however they have to put you back in vertigo to fix the problem and sometimes it takes several visits. I preferred doing them at home. You need to find out which ear the vertigo is in and as my doctor said sleep on your side with your good ear on the pillow and bad ear up. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your advice. I would prefer to do them at home too. I don't need some young, handsome physical therapist ogling me as I am doing somersaults! Thanks for your comment!
DeleteCynthia, will you please let us know what the Milea recommendation?
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy
I had vertigo 4yrs ago and didn't know why I was so dizzy..I couldn't stand. Went to emergency room and told I had vertigo. Lasted 1 day only thankfully! Google how to reset your marbles in head...
Hi Nancy! It got rid of my milia under my eye and bumps on my cheeks. I'm off to google.

Oh my goodness... your sweet Lucy is crawling and saying "Mama"... things will never be the same! In fact, things will only get better! I remember being sad when each stage came to an end with my own children, only to discover that each new milestone only made life richer. This sense is only magnified with my grandbabies! Enjoy the holiday season ahead!
ReplyDeleteThe Sunday NYT published an article on Miss Rachel, you lucked out getting one. YAY Lucy!! Such a brilliant child. Hope the vertigo clears quickly, the exercises help quite a bit. I would gift you the I wish you lived next door mug. xoxox Annie G.
ReplyDeleteRight back atcha, dear buddy.
DeleteThank you for appreciating the content provided. I consistently enjoy creating informative articles and eagerly anticipate more in the future. Additionally, explore the enticing selections of buy face cleanser online, also read our blogs for clear skin tips.
ReplyDeletePhysical therapy at the office worked much better for me than trying it at home. I've had it twice and immediately call the pt facility.
