That's what the doctor says I have. Or from reading it, little bits of crap deep inside your ear that mess with your head making you feel dizzy. I wish they'd use plain english when explaining these things I nearly fell asleep when she started droning on and never took any of it in, probably why she wrote it down.
Anyway I had gutter work this week and I'm avoiding the ladder for obvious reasons. I also can't be bothered setting up the the van for the generator, vac, hoses and poles, oh and peeing about with a camera. So another day or two off then back to windows.

I don't need a doctor to tell me I'm a dizzy sod. ::)roll
;D
Hope you feel better soon.
-
Can you not vac your ear out? :D
I hope you get rid of it!!
-
A squirt of hypo or maybe even vision! Might clear it up.
-
Get well soon buddy.

Although it could be neck issues. I’ve had dizziness and nausea over the last year or two and it’s neck related from the job we do. If it doesn’t go away see a sports injury specialist.
-
Try saying that when your p155ed ;D
Get well soon.

Thanks for all the get wells, I'll be out tomorrow for a half shift, the wife senses I'm fit enough so she's asking for me to finish this and do this... I'll still avoid the ladder though.
Sitting this week has been doing my head in, Monday registered the wee man and went for breakfast then stuck some flyers out, Tuesday no idea what I done, Wednesday I got dragged round a shopping centre and bought a couple of hoodies and a jacket from Jack and Jones xxl sizes! Must be small made that stuff! But only £95.00. Today I've took the hover apart and hosed it out when all my wife asked me to do was change the filters and then started up my new softwash pump from Rutlands (bought last year) and washed the van with it. Phones quiet, emails are quiet with only one gutter inquiry today and someone chasing a quote for windows via Facebook when I had already asked her on the 5th to meet me to show which flat it was.
Should have just stuck flyers out instead of looking at crap on internet as you end up spending on things you don't really need.

How was it diagnosed? I’d put money on it being a neck problem.

I'll keep this short. I was last there 12 months ago for something and had a right good moan about doctors looking at computer screens and making incorrect judgments whilst only glancing at me instead of listening to what I'm saying as they don't know what the initial issue was. But this week this youngish awfully awfully posh girl checked my head movement, eye movement and reactions, blood pressure sitting and standing, prodding my face and checked my ears. She was quite annoying but for the first time in years I actually believe them.
I'd also agree with you 8 Weekly with the neck strain issues that our job can bring on. Even though I would normally stand further back from the building you can see from the recent facebook video with the pole bend question that I'm actually standing closer due to the pole reach. Then there's the issues with sitting at the laptop and looking down at the phone etc.

I’d see a sports injury guy. I’ll bet it’s your neck. Cervigenic strain is the term I think. GPs will tend towards the common causes. Did she ask about your work? That said, if it goes away the job done, but if it’s still there in a week see a deep tissue guy. I’ve had it twice really bad. I’ve got it mildly at the moment- it’s a hazard of the job.
