Today, I was diagnosed with vertigo. It's like being perpetually drunk, but without any of the fun bits. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, thanks to my new anti-anxiety meds, I am finally no longer agoraphobic. Today also marks 5 weeks of constant diarrhea due to the same meds. Guess who's not leaving the house anytime soon. FML
Today, I woke up with a vicious hangover. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't woken up to dozens of cans strewn all over the floor. I don't remember buying half the store's supply of pork and beans. FML
Today, I slammed the car door on my head while I was getting in the car. If that wasn't bad enough, my boyfriend is convinced I now have a concussion and insists on waking me up every hour to make sure I'm still alive. FML
Today, I thought it would be a good idea to sneak out of work early and pay a little visit to the pub. I ended up staggering home, drunkenly making myself a nacho cheese dorito milkshake with the blender, then promptly puked my guts out all over the kitchen table. FML
Today, my drinking problem became apparent when my daughter asked for a glass of juice, and I instinctively poured a large glass of scotch instead. FML
Today, I was trying to explain to my mom that I've been having panic attacks. I ended up having a panic attack from talking about having a panic attack. FML
Today, my wife, who has a drinking problem, looked me straight in the eye as she poured herself a "water" bottle to enjoy while at work. FML
Today, my husband and I woke up to see my drunk mother passed out on our couch. She was wearing nothing but socks. FML
Today, I chipped my tooth on a beer bottle. While I was drinking alone in my basement. FML
Today, I horribly lost a game of basketball against my dad. It wouldn't have been so humiliating if he hadn't been piss drunk at the time. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Can actual drinking reverse that?

I think we should try this. Any victims? I mean volunters?

I went to the hospital when I had that because I wasn't sure what it was. They drugged me up with some medicine to make me stop puking, which made it MUCH more bearable

I have it too, only after 6 months of treatment they discovered that mine will not go away but I can take meds to make it tolerable. I truly hope you get better!!!

What warplayer said. It's not fun. I have Meniere's disease which consists of vertigo. Get as much rest as you can, try not to watch tv in the dark, and a fan or fresh air can help

I have the more lasting vertigo that comes and goes my Dr gave me a med called antivert which worked really well that and she said go to a physical therapist theres a technique they can use to manipulate your head that will fix it if its being caused by an ear blackage, worth looking into

Dude, had it and it was terrible. I felt as if I were in a boat and the only thing that made it stop was sleep, sleep, and more sleep. Basically eyes closed.

I had it bad for years..the episodes would last for days and all I could do is sleep. The doctors put me on meclazine (sp?) and all sorts of drugs, along with physical therapy trying to control it. Eventually they put me on Topomax to control it. I had issues with the side effects, so they put me on Verapamil. It has worked so well, I haven't had issues in years. It might be worth looking in to. Good luck.

I have Vertigo too. It doesn't last days though just a few hours of puking and not being able to walk.
