As if this year hasn't been trying enough for my family....... my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer back in July and has been battling it every day, and I have been dizzy since last tuesday, October 4th I think.
I have been to the doctor 2 times and to the chiropractor 2 times this week also. The diagnosis is vestibular neuritis and it is an inflammation of the vestibular nerve in the middle ear. Basically it gives you vertigo and constant dizziness and there is little to nothing that can be done about it. Talk about a piss poor time to come down with this! Work all fucking year looking forward to this time of year and this happens at the worst possible time.
Hell, I get into a treestand and I feel like I'm going to fall out, and even if a deer comes by its really hard to focus on it, let alone try and shoot a bow.
This is the 12th day in a row I have been this way and the symptoms aren't getting any better. I had the same thing happen to me about 5 years ago and it lasted 24 days if I remember correctly.
As far as the wife goes, she had to have a mastectomy to start with, and also had to have her ovaries removed 2 weeks ago (sure am glad I had my nuts snipped 6 weeks ago) and now she is taking hormone therapy. She is at stage 4 right now and she is only 33 years old! The good news is she is feeling fairly good right now, but she has pain that comes and goes.
I hope you guys enjoy your time in the woods this fall, even though you may not kill a big buck. Just be happy that you have your health and that your family is healthy also. I pray that things will only get better.
