You will be better soon without the dizziness.

Heather,
I like your font even better! How’re you guys doing it?
J
The font didn’t change, just the color and using italics on the word: dizziness.
If you want to color a word, just highlight the word with your cursor then click on font color. Then you’ll see the color palette.
I don’t see an option to actually use a different font. You can change the font [size=200]size[/size] though, along with the [size=200]color[/size]
[size=200]Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo[/size]
:mrgreen:
I’m just like you describe with colds and most upper respitory illnesses. They make everything worse and throw my balance out of whack.
A little tidbit on stairs, I rely heavily on railings. I even ripped the one in my house out of the wall once. Don’t worry, I didn’t fall, but I had some rework to do. The thing is that you need the railing/s to be as secure as possible.

The worst part of my cold only lasted a couple days. I still have the sinus stuff going on, but no fever & my balance is just a little better. DesDiz - Are you any better yet?
Yea, Heather, but DD must have put a LOT of work into making her font look so crazy! I think she should patent it!
You must be seeing something in DD’s post I do not. Her font is just like everyone elses on my screen.
Heather
Well Heather, that settles it, I always thought the two of us were probably the sickest members of the forum. I guess this settles it - it must be me. :mrgreen:
:mrgreen: I still think you and I are the sickest.
Well it’s nice to have company anyway. Where’s the heart smiley? Maybe DD can do some more font tricks for us :mrgreen:

Hi D D,
No, your definitely not the only one who get’s worse during, a bad cold, this subject has been covered many times in other peoples post, if you were able to take a look.
In fact, just last week, Judy one of the long time members who has successfully moved on with her life has had some good results with dothep, she said she had the flue, and had a set back, rocking and much worsening symptoms, ect…
judy’s mentioned this in a post only last week…
I know it’s sometimes Hard with all these Migraine symptoms to read, every post…
But one a day, just to keep up with what’s going on and keep informed about YOUR illness, is a great idea.
that way when unusual symptoms HIT, you wont be so frightened every time.
I found this fourm is not only a wonderful place for support DD , but also a great resource of info.
And I’m sorry, no one can promise you things will become better soon.
At this present time 2008, there is no cure for migraine disease.
Hopefully with the right preventative medications, that you “will” eventually find, that YOUR body will tolerate, and you being so young, having time on your side, the preventives should make all the difference in making your life pleasurable again.
And help you be able to cope better with every day situations.
I’m really sorry you’re feeling so disgusting right now.
We all know how you’re feeing.

Being With Out Colds My Days Are Ever Slightly Off Balance, Some Visuals, And Just Blah, And Occasional Wooziness…A Scary Symptom Or Dizziness Sneaks In Occasionally…Well Since I Got This Cold Last Saturday I Have…Lost 75% Of My Hearing In My Left Year Doesnt Really Feel Full But Maybe Just Like Some Light Cotton In There Or Something But No Popping Feeling Or Pain Except For Pain Sat Night (thoought might have had ear infection but it stopped hurting) When I Wake Up For The Past Three Days I Feel Exhausted (after sleeping 8 hours)And Like I Just Got Off The Gravitron Or Tilt R Whirl I Am Stumbling Around And Into Stuff And Feel Like I Am Going To Fall Over…Then I Am Continually Dizzy For The Rest Of The Day…Mostly When I Get Colds I Feel A Little “Off” But This One Really Had Me Going Through The Wringer…The Cold Started With Slight Sore Throat and Constantly Running Nose Then On Second Day It Went Right To My Chest And I Have Been Hacking Ever Since (which leaves me spinning

Sorry For The Vent This Is Just Kicking My Butt And Breaking THe Little Spirit I Had LEFT
Sorry you’re feeling this way 
Unless the cold is all gone I’d say you WILL return to “your normal”, though.
(I feel totally crap at the moment for a very, very different reason and I may post a thread in a day or three).
Just one thing: you really don’t have to capitalize every letter, in fact it wastes your time writing AND makes it harder to read.

DD-
Last winter I had a cold that settled into my chest, and I woke up one morning about 4 days into all, and I could not hear out of my left ear. I’ve had problems all of my life with my ears it seems, but I’ve NEVER had anything like this. It was totally uncomfortable, and the simple act of not being able to hear out of it totally threw my balance off (more than usual). The more I moved throughout the day, it slowly seemed to clear (at the time, I thought I was just getting used to it), however, the next morning I woke up sleeping on that side, and it was blocked again.
After several days of this, I discovered I could gently tug on my ear lobe, and get it to pop open (nothing else worked). This went on for weeks, off and on, and was very annoying. When you can’t hear out of one ear, your own voice sounds very loud (almost like you are screaming) and it drove me crazy. I don’t know what caused it (maybe fluid in the ear? That would be my guess. I had no pain). Anyway, it eventually did go away. Thank God.
I’m not looking forward to my next cold. I don’t know why colds are so hard on us (see? I’m assuming they are hard on all of us 
) I guess our vestibular systems are already out of whack, and a stuffed up head and ears just aggravates it to all Hell.
Since my MAV Crash, I can’t stand to get sick even with a stupid cold. It seems to magnify every stupid little stinking symptom I have on a day-to-day basis, and its miserable.
