Oh, no! I hope the new medicine helps. I cannot even imagine what you are going through.
Oh no, Sean. Take it easy. Hope you feel better on the new tablets.
Quick question: do you like humor in genres that normally shouldnt make you laugh. I recently read Greek Island Mysteries Pentalogy and it was a series with much murder, blood, gore etc but I did find myself laughing out loud at some of the jokes made by one of the main characters. At first it felt strange but then it really helped with all the depression and violent stuff that were happening. The Greek setting surely helped stomach the crimes.
Sean, my ex has vertigo. It was hard to watch when she had episodes.

Lucky new tablets seem to be helping.
I watched a Nature program, The Batman of Mexico, on PBS. He has spent 20 years protecting bat roosts in caves. He works with the government and local farmers/landowners. He succeeds in getting the tequila bat removed from the endangered list. This bat is the only one that pollinates the agave plant-source of tequila.Margarita lovers can relax.
I just want to say it is a sad day, we have lost a great author Mo Hayder. R.I.P MO HAYDER.

The toilet paper shortage has expanded from toilet paper to books. Publishers are delaying book launches. Unknown how James Patterson will be affected. My library has 15 shelves of his books.Quote from Washington Post article: "As Douglas Adams would say, “Don’t panic.” But we may be running out of paper. And this time it’s not just toilet paper. A recent report in The Washington Post warns, “Book publishers, dogged by paper shortages and shipping delays, are pushing fall releases into early next year”
Ingram, a major book distributor, issued a statement noting that “the book industry, like all physical goods industries, is experiencing Covid’s negative logistic impacts due in large part to labor and supplies shortages and transportation issues.” The company warned of “a perfect storm brewing.”
HAPPY LABOR DAY AND IT’S READ A BOOK DAY!

See consultant on Wednesday
My doctor on Thursday.
One reason still at work, as they pay private treatment which helps.
As seeing two consultants at the moment.
One for my head.
One for painful left elbow/tennis elbow, caused my working in the warehouse lifting heavy boxes and files(20 to 25 Kilos) from top shelves, climbing up ladders !
That's why not at work not good when you are dizzy.
