Oh, wow. Your vertigo effects you even when you're lying down? I'm mostly unfamiliar with the condition, but this seems pretty severe to my (very) limited knowledge D:

Hopefully you can get the pinched nerve treated and the problem will go away - or at the very lease improve.

Yay for writing productivity! I ended up creating an entire livejournal for my writing - so I can post bits and pieces and feel like I'm actually making progress.

I hope you're having a great week though :)
