It's aweful being sick!

While I was still recovering from severe Bronchitis, all hell broke loose! My Austin trip was a disaster! I fell sick and my wife had to drive all the way back, while I was throwing up all the time, almost half-unconsious.

What sucks is that I was under the impression that I am cured and my illness will not return. Ever since I can remember (when I was 5 years old), I get sick every 3 months. It starts by I getting dizzy the night before, and by morning, I start vomiting, every 10 minutes or so, which continues for about 24 hours. After the first day, my vomiting stops but I am so weak, that I can not get up from the bed for at least 4 more days. Only on the 5th day I can come back to normal.

This had been a constant routine till last year January, and suddenly everything became fine - only to return this black sunday! Luckily, I can get up from the bed today (it is only the third day today) - still feeling a lot dizzy though!

I have shown myself to numerous doctors but no one has been able to diagnose anything so far. Only one doctor came as close to identifying the problem, and said that it might be Acute Labrynthitis - an infection of the liquid that is found in the middle ear. But, again, he could not say why it happens every 3 months, and why it stopped for the last 2 years!

God only knows why I keep having it and when will I get rid of it. For now I am glad that I am on my feet earlier then I used to be always.

Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye opener.
