Hmmm. The vertigo is hard to describe. When it strikes, you don't know which way is up--everything is spinning and you feel like you're falling even when standing still. When it was at its worst, any movement would trigger it, and I would frequently fall over and toss my cookies. :-)

As it improved, there were specific events that would trigger it, namely turning my head in in sort of extreme position (which included tipping my head back so I could see the computer monitor) or lying down, hence the supposition that it is a compressed nerve of some sort. It seems to be getting better and I am slowly figuring out what I can and cannot do these days. Switching most of my writing from the main computer to the laptop helps because my head isn't tipped back for hours at a time--but I can't use the voice recognition software on the laptop because it doesn't have enough memory. So yeah, working it out!

I started to say it never occurred to me to have a second LJ strictly for writing, only I do. I just realized that! :-) I keep it for the original stuff, so as not to bore the fandom friends.
