DIZZINESS

Why do we let dizziness affect us?  Yesterday, I knew with absolute certainty, that if I tried to get off my chair I would fall over into a heap but why couldn’t I take the logical approach by standing up and doing the left foot, right foot progression?  I wasn’t trying to walk a tight rope or ride a motorbike – I just wanted to make it the ten feet from the computer to the lounge.  Not a chance.  I understand the biology of the inner ear but I think it needs redesigning.

It’s the first time that I have been visited by this particular side effect to capecitabine and I have to say that I’m really not very keen on it.  I have only slight objections to feeling like my CPU is fried but adding mad cow disease to the mix is just a bloody liberty.  This morning, I seem to be suffering a much lower degree of head wobble but there is still the distinct impression that if I do anything too quickly, I may well revert to Glasgow drunk mode.  Let’s see how the day progresses.
