High pressure system comin' in. Migraine city. Yowrrr.

------------------------

I went for my balance test yesterday morning -- 8AM on the heels of finishing off a midnight shift at work. You know, I naively assumed that "balance test" meant they were going to get me to, you know, balance. Silly me.

Instead they put me on a moving table, stuck electrodes all over my head and moved me around and shone lights at various places on the wall and ceiling. No problems. I was passing with flying colours.

Then they got to the last part of the test. They changed the temperature inside my noggin by pumping hot and then cold water into my ears. Weirdest feeling ever. The left ear made me feel a little disoriented, but nothing too severe, given that they were like, pumping water into my ear. Wahoo, no more tipping over for Siobhan.

Then they did the right side.

And the entire room executed wide graceful parabolas through space while I clutched at the table and yelped.

Fuckity.

I was wobbly for the rest of the day.

------------------------

I can tell my stress levels are going up. I can't seem to use my normal speaking volume for talking about anything.

I have introduced my daughter to net-crack.

I am a bad person.

Ladies and gentlemen and others, say hello to spiderlikefreak

They analyze the info from the electrodes and send the results to my doctor. I go in two weeks to get told, "Yeah, you have a virus, it's getting better, it will clear up by itself."
