I started using a new. Doctor.only 44 yrs old. Last week. He told me to take my tubes off during day. I was on cloud 9. He said i have asthma. But if it's copd it's slight. When the doctor said you are going. Home with oxygen. I should have said no. My friend had a triple bypass they said u are going home with oxygen he declined. Wonder if my life word have been different. i. Don't know if I misdiagnosed. But all doctors said my lungs were clear. I cough up flem. That's from asthma . I keep checking. My O2 level .and my doctor said don't do that you'll make yourself crazy. But he took a chance. I was on cloud 9.i was so excited. I forgot about. The main problem VERTIGO so opening the fridge door i pulled an)d. I let go n fell backward.so dont give up . I was so depressed. But things will get better if I can get control over vertigo.

It's good that you got some good news about your lung condition from your new GP.I hope that you manage to get some improvement too with your vertigo. I don't have it but my mother did and I know how much it affected her at times. Best wishes.

This is the 1st time that it's been lasting a year. I just black out so no control to stop falling . 6 head traumas 1cracked skull black n blue n hip replacement. It keeps me in my apt. I can't fall like that. If I break a knee doctors say I will die. Couldn't live thru knee surgery. So my life is like walking a tight ropez

I am so sorry that your vertigo has caused you so much trauma. Sending you a hug.

Perhaps as SquirrelsHolt said, your new GP can help with that too. If going out is so (understandably) difficult is a telephone consult possible? My GP practice offers this but I don't think all do. Wishing you well.

Funnily enough I'm not too surprised as I went peroxide blonde,food colouring blue, streaky bacon and right now I'm doing the "au natural" which is horrid,dull ditchwater brown, going on grey and it's not a good summer look!!😑 So it's high and low lights for me this weekend hopefully! πŸ˜€

Like a nice shade of peroxide where it burnt so much using a fork to scratch the scalp while frying the hair πŸ˜‚ ...love the blue food colouring bit also what is streaky bacon colour ????? I'm intrigued with that one very much πŸ’žπŸ’ž

SquirrelsHolt in reply to Blackbird6

Well, think of looking at a rasher of streaky bacon ..... Brownish,redish and lines of lighter colour,running through ..... are you able to visualize it ? Admittedly,far from a look I'd recommend for anyone nowadays, lol πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’•

Oh absolutely I can see it when I screw up my eyes and imagine it I can nearly see myself in the hairdressers with this information asking for those exact shades of bacon and radish β€πŸ˜‚πŸ’žπŸ’žπŸ’ž
