giddy spells ---- one word: SCARY!

Let me assure you that the following post is just my experience and it MIGHT not happen to you. (*but who knows right?) keke.

anyway, few days ago, which is the Sunday that just passed.
I slept in and I woke up around 12.30pm. Feeling abit dizzy, i went back to sleep.
Afterwhich, I woke up at 3plus, feeling super giddy. I cant get up and I cant turn at all. because every movement that i make, i will feel giddy. ONLY when I lie straight and look straight, I wont feel giddy.
So this is a challenge! I cant turn to the side, I cant sit straight (how about toilet-ing & seeing doctor), basically I cant do anything. I prayed, asked God for healing, hoping that it will all go away.

It was such a scary experience because I felt helpless and useless. I cant do anything to support myself because I'm just so scared to feel the giddy spells. I tried a few times by sitting up and I failed:( because it just went round and round and round. (eeerz. feeling nauseous even just thinking about it now.)

I gave up and subsequently I fell asleep. I woke up again, because I needed to pee. I took the courage to find the right 'point' of not being giddy. I managed to, but I had to slant my head to other side in order to feel less giddy. I had to eat (some biscuits), drink, change on my bed, because I just cant get out of the bed. I almost wanted to get the doctor for home consultation. But thankfully, praise God, I felt better after eating the medicine and prayer works :)

I managed to get out of the bed, with my neck being very stiff, head looking straight and nowhere else. I consulted the doctor, took an injection and immediately, went back to sleep with random wake up 'signals' in the middle of the night.

i'm much better now:)) thank God!

but why am I sharing this? Maybe you might think that I'm old and health is failing me. HAHA.
I had this imbalance of ear drums / whats nots a few times. It didnt occur to me that seriously before. However, I began to see the importance of health. It's really terrible when you are not able to be independent, and you had to rely on others for basic functions. or feeling so "xin ku" inside and no one else are able to identify with you.

I thank God for His comfort and His presence throughout this period :D

thanks to all who had been asking about my health. I'm recuperating well and hopefully back to work and everything by tmr or Thursday!
It was good to receive the encouragements and prayers and everything else :))

something that I learnt from Mitch Albom:
FAITH IS ABOUT DOING. YOU ARE HOW YOU ACT, NOT JUST HOW YOU BELIEVE :)
