Had a drive over to
an Ikea last week, so we're looking at a 3 hour round trip plus a couple in
there. Felt a bit weary, a little bit
fuzzy, but not overly bad that night.
Following day felt really rough and got some major trigger alerts that a
spin might be on its way – you know, fullness of hearing, impossible to ignore
tinnitus, feeling flushed. That night it
hit me with a bang – fortunately I was lying down and not standing up, but it
was my worst spin for a year or more and it went on, too.
This was followed by
the inevitable day of feeling light-headed and really ill, and then a day of
feeling completely shattered.
So half a day of
doing something relatively normal followed by 3 days of feeling dreadful. I can't be sure that the spin cycle was a
direct result of my drive and walk around Ikea, but it's a bit of a coincidence
if not.
Looking back, I'm
trying to figure out if I was in the right shape to go out when I did, but I
think I was as OK as I ever am these days, and the drive wasn't much more than
I do 3 days a week when I go into the office.
Perhaps there's no point in trying to work it through. Maybe it's just a case of accepting it for
what it was and moving on.
Damned illness!

I find if I do anything "extra" there will be repercusions for the following few days
It's a case of staying at home and doing very little, or trying to live a "normal" life, knowing you might pay for it afterwards.
I've done too much of the former, so now try to avail myself of any opportunities whenever possible
