Vertigo: Benign Positional Vertigo

I still have this sensation at times, until now since my doctor diagnosed me to have one. I was freakingly worried that I might have something serious inside my brain! Anyway, my doctor gave me a little information about this, so I thought of sharing it. Perhaps, many has or had it too in the past. Just be sure it is BPV. Don't forget to seek medical help from your doctor.

What is benign positional vertigo (BPV)?
BPV is a spinning sensation of the head (vertigo) brought on by a certain position of the head, usually sudden changes of position. The word "benign" means that it is not a serious condition and is likely to eventually get better.

What is the cause?:
In most peopl, the cause is unknown, but it can follow accidents causing neck or head injuries in some people. There are 2 theories to explain BPV:
  1. A problem exists in the neck, usually a 'kink' in some of the swivel joints of the neck. The neck is connected to the balance centre by special nervous pathways.
  2. There are tiny pieces of floating debris in the balance centre of the inner ear (labyrinth). These little bits of sediment somehow upset the balance centre when disturbed.
What are the sympptoms?:
  • a brief attack of severe dizziness (vertigo), usually for about 10-30- seconds, that comes on a few seconds after a certain head movement.
  • quickly subsiding dizziness.
The changing head positions that provoke an attack can be:
  • tilting the head backwards
  • changing from a lying to a sitting position
  • lying on one ear or the other
  • turning the head to the side with the neck injury
Who gets BPV?
Although it can occur at all ages, the elderly are affected most. It is the most common cause of vertigo in the elderly. Women are twice likely as men to get it. BPV is a surprisingly common problem.

How long does the bouts of BPV last?
Each attack usually lasts less than 30 seconds but can last 60 seconds or so. The attacks tend to come in bursts but usually settle within a few weeks and most people are able to return to work within a week. The bouts tend to come back after months or years, but some people only ever have one attack.

What are the effects of BPV?
There are usually no ill effects in the long run. Unlike some other causes of severe dizziness, there is usually no vomiting, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or deafness. One has to be careful with driving.

What is the treatment?
There is no special treatment. Drugs are not effective at preventing the attacks. It is basically a matter of allowing the bouts to run their course, but there are some things that may help:
  • Avoid head positions that provoke the attack.
  • Do special neck exercises.
  • Obtain mobilisation treatment to the neck by a qualified therapist.
Sometimes it may be necessary to be referred to a specialist to make sure it is just BPV and not a problem with the circulation to the brain.

The spirit of Christmas is not over yet at Sears. After all, Christmas spirit is not only good for a day but supposedly everyday for people who have kind and generous hearts.

Don't Know If That Baby is Yours?...

Here's how you can avoid finding yourself in a nightmare of paternity fraud battle:
First, if you're not certain the new baby is yours, don't sign anything saying it is. The longer you've had a relationship with the child, the harder it's going to be to open up a case of fraud. Even the accuracy of DNA testing doesn't count as an airtight defense. And don't rely solely on birth control to keep you safe. Condoms are only 86% effective, the pill, only 98% assuming the woman is careful about taking it. So you may have to get a bit more drastic!
Have a vasectomy and freeze your sperm in case you want to have kids later on. Then, get a follow up test to make sure it worked.
If it's impossible for you to have a child, you can't be named the father. This might sound ridiculous, but thanks to shrill lobbyists, idiotic bureaucrats, and opportunistic politicians. The only way to protect your reproductive rights may be to eliminate your ability to reproduce.

Twister Tips

If you seem to be running away from a twister and got stuck, there is no way you can avoid it. Here are some helpful tips to make it out alive from a twister.
  • Duck and Cover. Your neck is the most vulnerable part of your body after the nads. Protect it from airborne missiles any way possible.
  • Lie Low. If you're stuck outside, lie in a ditch so the wind passes over you. See a sewer? Scurry down...and say hi to Corey Feldman! LOL!
  • Avoid Bridges. Wind increases in speed as it squeezes through an underpass, sucking you out. So try avoiding the Midwest.
Did You Know...

695 people were killed by the infamous Tri-State Tornado on March 18, 1925? This swirling V-cloud of death traveled 219 miles in 3 hours!

Watch Out For Tornadoes!

The weather bureau gauges the strength of a coming tornado through an F-scale rating. The following are F-scale rating guidelines of a tornado by the havoc they wreak. So, watch out when the weather bureau tells you how strong the tornado through MPH.
  • F0: - Winds under 73MPH snap branches, push over shallow-rooted trees, knock down signs, and muss your meticulously feathered mullet! :).
  • F1: - Gusts from 73 to 112MPH peel the surface off roofs, blow moving autos off roads, and push double-wides from their "foundations."
  • F2: - Gales reaches 113 to 157MPH, lifting roofs, destroying mobile homes, and creating light-object missiles - like, say, flying pigs!
  • F3: - Blowing 158 to 206MPH, winds tear walls off houses, uproot forests, and flip autos and trains. They call this "severe damage."
  • F4: - Blasts of 207 to 260MPH can crush well-built homes, lift weak-structured homes and possibly get your fat mom off her ass.
  • F5: - 261 to 318MPH Satan storms can yank well-built houses off their foundations and launch cars like the Hulk in smash mode!

Learn A Perfect Throw in Bowling

Most people love to bowl as a past time, or some for purely sport competitions! But who doesn't want a perfect strike? Here are some short tips to learn on how to do the perfect throw ;).
  1. Get Some Ball. For a sweet curve that mathematically increases your chances of blasting all 10 pins, ditch the hard-plastic junker and head to a pro shop. As your floor-grabbing urethane ball is being drilled, keep in mind that power-pawed pros grip with only the tips of their fingers.
  2. Stand at Attention. With your left foot slightly forward, cradle the ball between your belt buckle and man-boobs with your nonswinging hand. This open posture nudges your roll just wide enough to arc in from the outside of the lane (where less oil equals more traction).
  3. Connect the Dots. With bowling, as with breaking up, the first step is the toughest. Start on your right foot and shift the ball's mass into your step. As you approach and swing, use the lane's arrows to visualize an arcing trajectory right into the sweet spot, just right of the headpin.
  4. Spin It Good. To send the projectile spiraling, turn your wrist counter clockwise to a handshake position at the last second-the combination of spin and momentum should induce a hook, lending your ball a better angle, or what Duke calls a "wider pocket"!
