This lune poem, Misery, has the proper formatting and defines the period of vertigo as something less than thrilling. I have never heard of someone joking about it so I imagine it is quite scary.

    Thank you Bill, No it isn't someting I would joke about because when I have I really don't darer try to walk and it makes me nauseated but fortunately it wears off after a few hours and I don't get it often.

I had vertigo. Everything is spinning and you feel nauseated. I feel your pain. Good words to describe it and the picture matches it well. Very good job

I'm sorry that you have to deal with vertigo. It sounds terrible. I haven't tried to write in this form, but it your words worked well. The picture seems like it's an accurate representation. Well done!

Goodness, I am glad it is nothing permanent, Beth!

Writing about these things always calms and settles the mind.

Great piece. Good luck in the Lune contest.

I am so sorry that you suffer from that from time to time. It must be extremely uncomfortable and difficult to cope with. I'm glad it only lasted a few hours. I really liked your lune poem, Beth. All that best of luck. Ulla xcx

    Thank you Ulla. It makes you feel miserable but for me it has never lasted over a few hours.

Your brain doing a flip doesn't sound like fun; hope your bouts of this ease up as time goes on. I've known people who have tinnitus; we don't realize how important good ear health is until we suffer from the bad.

Good luck in the contest - good Lune and good presentation.

I know the feeling very well. Through my life I have had many times when I have struggled with vertigo and it is not a pleasant thing to have. I wish you the very best and I hope you don't have an another episode of it very soon. Patricia .I know the feeling very well.

    Thank you Patricia. It is pretty common and a lot of people have it. Thankfully the times I've had it, it doesn't last that long.

Remember the Hitchcock film of the same name? It's a horrible feeling I have had only experienced a few times, when I've had an inner ear infection.

Sounds like it passed. I hope so!

    I know it's unnerving. And falls are easy...so you were wise to wait it out!

No, I've been very fortunate that I have had it Beth, you live on your own I take it, so that wouldn't be good, but as long as the symptoms diminish over time, well done, great post, blessings Roy

    Since I have it once a twice a year and it has always gone a way, I don't worry about it, but you feel nauseated and need to hold on to something to keep from falling.

Your words for this are exactly right. Vertigo is a horrible enemy to come to visit. For me, it is even worse at night when I try to turn from one side to the other!

    Thank you Verna. I think the angle of my head on my pillow is what brings it on because I only get it at night and have it when I wake up. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often.
