ugh and other minutiae

I had a headach most of yesterday at work, accompanied with feeling nauseous. Came home at 4 and went straight to sleep. Woke up around 7-8pm still feeling rough. It was most unpleasant. Forced myself to eat something at 9pm which helped some, but ended up having an early night.

It's weird - as a child I would semi-often (4-6 months periodicity) would have a ~24hour bout of illness like this. Then nothing for several years. And now it seems to have returned. The last time was the end of January.

Today is uncomfortably hot. The one drawback of living in a south-facing flat with glass on two sides is that it's like a greenhouse. I watched a music video with my flatmate earlier, but have moved back to my room where it's cooler.

Hmm. Looking at my userinfo (because of something karohemd said here), I notice another person has friended me. Welcome to my ramblings, stephmog. OOI, how did you find my journal?

Out drinking with paj28 in The Font (near the Salisbury) this evening for his birthday.

i had the headache/sickness thing saturday/sunday... not fun... I assume it was an illness thing, but sitting in the sun on saturday probably didn't help me much...

Hrm. I've got labrynthitis, which often produces symptoms like the ones you're reporting. Labrynthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear (usually from a middle ear infection from a virus) which causes dizziness and such. It can come and go. You might want to ask your health care professional about it. I treat it with motion-sickness drugs, which cause sleepiness...
