Today’s one of those strange days where I woke up really tired, and then as I went out and did some stuff during the day, I actually felt quite good. My usual ugly morning imbalance usually fades away during the day anyway, but today took a bit longer to go away.

I spent quite a bit of time outside today, mostly potting some plants that I bought. It was a nice day (around 20 degrees Celsius and sunny), so it was great to be able to spend the time outside (I did some walking too near the lake, which was also nice). I also had an iced coffee, which is unusual for me (I quit drinking coffee when I had my first episode of vertigo).

And then this evening the imbalance hit me. As soon as I had dinner (which as usual, is a low fat, low sodium dinner), then I really started to feel the tiredness and imbalance (the two usually go together for me).

I always have a hard time understanding when the dizziness is going to come on, which is part of the frustration with dealing with this whole thing. I think if there were more definite signs, it would be easier to deal with.

While there are certain patterns — being tired or hungry never helps — there is never enough of a pattern for me to be able to really avoid anything in particular, or plan for feeling dizzy at all. So now the question is: was it the caffeine? Or maybe it is just being tired? It’s always tough when there aren’t any answers for how you’re feeling.
