The Perch: January 2008

The Illness

In June 2007 I had a "dizzy spell" that came over me without warning. After months of doctors appointments and testing I was diagnosed with a vestibular disorder. Our vestibular systems tell us where we are in space. Without it you will experience chronic vertigo and imbalance. Technically I have MAV (migraine asssociated vertigo) The migraine activity in my brain affects my vestibular system and has left me constantly dizzy although without typical migraine pain. God blessed me with the top doctor in the country for this disorder. It has affected every aspect of my life - no driving, no shopping, basically home-bound. BUT God can still use me! Trusting and believing that healing is coming. UPDATE: I am slowly regaining the ability to do some things!! Loving doing the ordinary.
