It didnt last long!

Well Ive had my freedom to drive the car for less than 2 weeks. Went to see the specialist yesterday about my vertigo attacks/ menieres disease. I have been keeping a diary so was able to give times, dates, type of attacks as well as how long they lasted. The upshot is I am to be referred for Vestibular testing with the liklihood it will take 4-6 weeks for the appointment and then back to Consultant for a diagnosis if there is one to be had. I had taken the DVLA form with me hoping to have some help filling it in but he immediately said "Oh no you cant drive - you are far too much of a risk with these attacks". So thats that. Cant drive again until attacks become controlled (if ever) PANTS PANTS PANTS. Looks like I wont be zipping over to Dys for classes again in the near future - even more PANTS!

    Ohhh Janet, poor poor you. It must be awful having that little taste of freedom taken away again.
    I've left you something on my blog that might cheer you up.

    Hi Janet, What a blow !!! I can't imagine how a set back like this is making you feel, let's hope you get your appointment soon. On a practical note, give me a ring regarding the AFTH Weekend in September, I could come and pick you up on Friday and take you home on Sunday...if that would help....It would be such a shame for you to miss out....just because of transport difficulties.
