I tend to be fairly dizzy but tonight I had one of the scariest, most intense episodes I've had yet. I was holding on to the counter for several minutes until my boyfriend helped me make my way over to my chair. And even though my chair has arms and there's no way I could fall, I have still been feeling like I"m going to off and on for the last few years. I've gotten where I only drive 10 - 15 minutes at a stretch and my boyfriend has become my chauffeur for anything longer. I'm just lucky that he's so willing. Hope you all have a good weekend!
