just because

so back in november i started having some strange health issues. i've talked about them before. dizzy, lightheaded, etc. not vertigo room spinning kinda stuff. but random moments of lightheadedness...feeling like my brain was falling inside my head. weird, i know. i also felt nauseous often. but not enough to keep me from eating ;) i went to my regular doctor and they tried treating my symptoms and started testing me for everything. i took zofran for nausea. meclazine (sp?) for vertigo. i took stuff for heart burn and acid reflux. they did an ultra-sound of my organs....stomach, gall bladder, lungs, kidneys, etc. had my gall bladder removed. b/c ya know, maybe that's it?! i did have stones and sludge. gross. still the symptoms continued. ok, so we moved forward a little and had an MRI done. came out normal.
