Following a radical mastoidectomy operation 18 months ago to
remove a cholesteatoma from my right middle ear I have suffered bouts of
vertigo and dizziness. These episodes, which continually interrupted my work,
would eventually subside and I would return to near normal and get back to the
easel.
At the end of July I had two particularly nasty vertigo
attacks and this time the dizziness didn’t go away, it hung around in waves of
fluctuating intensity joined by its new found friends – nausea, tinnitus, brain
fog, balance difficulty and fatigue. This continued for 3 months unabated. It was
totally debilitating.
After numerous visits to the GP and eventually a referral
back to my consultant surgeon an MRI scan revealed no abnormalities. It is
therefore most likely that the root of my problem is a chronic viral
infection which in itself doesn’t sound too dramatic does it? But the past
three months have been hell. I have found it difficult to function let
alone paint. Time and again I would get to the easel in an attempt to get at
least something done but within a short time my head would be spinning and
wave of nausea and fatigue would engulf me.
As a result of all this malarkey I have fallen behind somewhat.
Besides getting zero work done I had to cancel my Autumn Open Studios
Exhibition scheduled for the last week of October. So to keep the
wolf from the door I am having an online studio sale. Beginning today I will post some of my paintings discounted by 30% for the next couple of weeks.
