Misery Dizz: April 2025

Just an update. I've been trying to spend less time in bed lately but I'm also trying to take it easy at the same time, because every time I push myself a bit physically, it messes me up and makes me exhausted. A lot of my days are short: I might leave my bed around 10/11 am and sometimes I'm completely exhausted by 6 - 9 pm and can't do much else.

Anyway, the past few months was pretty bad for the dizziness in some ways (mostly supermarkets, restaurants, car rides, and stores have been extra triggering and lead to panic attacks or near attacks). However, the past week, the dizziness has been the lowest its been in a while. But in exchange, I have a lot of neck pains and my occipital muscles (well, my entire scalp area I'd say) hurts so much. It's so tender and painful to massage, and it'll just be shooting random pains at me even during the day. And for a while now I'm reeeeally lucky if I can fall asleep without advil, because most nights my neck still keeps shooting me with pains and it just doesn't stop for hours until I give in and take an advil. Oh and some nausea too. The other day I was able to do stuff on my PC and I actually put my brightness up higher since my dizziness was low - but then I got soooooooo nauseous after.

Did I mention my neck still makes all sorts of cracking sounds constantly? It never ends. It's like 200 times a day, sometimes from the smallest of head movements. And sometimes it makes these horrible creaky grinding sounds like there is sand being ground between my head and my neck - how the x-ray and MRI didn't find anything is pretty insane to me based on what I feel and hear.

Maybe this year I can do that moving x-ray but I haven't even gotten myself to go find out the price of it yet because I feel like it'll be quite a lot.
