What happened to yesterday?
April 13th, 2006 by Bill
Very strange. I kinda woke up yesterday but kinda didn’t. I woke for a moment, experienced an acute sense of vertigo then was asleep again. In fact, I spent most of yesterday sleeping.
I did get out of bed for a while. But each time I did I would soon get the sense of vertigo again, as if I would pass out or have seizure. I think I may have had a nocturnal seizure (I’ve had them before) because my muscles, especially the lower parts of my legs, were in knots.
That sense of vertigo, or oncoming seizure or whatever it is, is a very odd sensation. It’s accompanied by an intense sense of déjà vu with all these images and familiar sensations flooding into your head. It’s almost like your brain going sideways or something. Very unsettling.
Anyway, the end result is I spent most of yesterday doing nothing but sleeping, reading, and sleeping some more. (I did manage to almost finish “The Ghost Writer” by John Hardwood – it’s a kind of a ghost story.)
I have no idea what to call what I experienced yesterday but I think it’s related to shifting weather systems. You know, warm southern wind suddenly shifing to cold northern wind or vice versa, air pressure shifting dramatically. At least, that’s about the only thing I can see is common to the times it has occurred in the past. I really have no idea what it is and thus far no doctor has been able to explain it to me.
Yesterday was a complete waste of a day.
I had a Bored Meeting yesterday, so yeah my day was pretty much a waste too.
like animals sensing an earthquake, your body is in tune with the turns of seasons.
i kinda wish i had been in bed sleeping and reading all day yesterday.
careful what you wish for i guess.
Wow, I have not heard of such a thing, but perhaps sizzle is right.
Well, I’m not swearing it is the weather but that’s the only thing I can see any of the times it has happened having in common. Whenever it occurs, the weather is always changing. And weather does affect people - for instance, people with migraines. They tend to get more or more intense with low pressure systems rather than high pressure systems (which tend to be clear, dry air as opposed to lows which often are heavier and moist). There’s actually a science of it, though it tends to focus more on animals etc.: biometeorology.
(As you can see, I’ve an interest in this so I’ve done a few information searches.)
I took this week off so yesterday wasn’t like a sick day at home. It was a waste of one of my days off!
You can have a migraine without the headache; I had one once and lost vision in my left eye for a while.
Perhaps you inner ear is very sensitive.
The human body is weird.
