I have benign positional vertigo. It's so nice to be able to affix an impressive label to one's ailments. Yesterday I left work in the afternoon since I thought I was going to throw up from the thumping migraine that I had. I came home and slept, then slept some more though I woke up every hour through the night. This morning, the headache was gone but I fell out of bed. I went to the dr and she said she thought the dizziness was probably precipitated by a viral infection and made worse by migraine. She gave me some medication and a medical certificate until Friday. Let me confess now, I have never had a sick day in the 7 years I have worked in this company, but given my current state of mind and the legitimacy of my ailments I am taking the time. I talked to my secretary and we rescheduled the most important things. I've turned off my phone and unplugged my work computer and I am going to take some time for myself.

hang in there - take your time and get properly well - not just well enough to go back to work and get sick again!
