Hi all! Been a long time since I've been here, just trying to get on with my life. Had a follow-up appt with my specialist in January, and I came away excited. For the first time since 2006, when my world fell apart and my brand new career ended in tatters, I felt some zing-zing, some oommph in my step, a tingle of excitement. My specialist is a fantastic doctor, and I feel so blessed to have been referred to him. He could see that I was extremely unhappy in my job and asked me why I didn't look for something more fulfilling. I told him I was scared. Scared of going back to school, to put in months of time to learn new skills, to try for a new career and then have it all blow up in my face again with the reappearance of vertigo. I said I didn't know if I could learn again, even tho I used to enjoy learning, the challenge of it. He said he thought I could do it, and to go for it as we only have one life and should make the best of it that we can. He is an extremely good judge of character and seems to be able to read me like an open book, but I felt so blessed that day - it was like a psychological golden ticket for me. He's chatted with me many times in the past, but for some reason, this time something clicked mentally for me. Anyways, I left my job, handed my notice in (the same day, I later found out, that I was to be let go - how ironic was that!) and began a term position which finishes this week. I start evening classes in Accounting in a couple of weeks. I will be jobless for a little bit and will have to rely on EI for a little while, but that talk with my specialist has has set me free in a way and let me feel hope and look forward to challenges in my life that I thought I would never experience again. He said if the vertigo comes back, not to worry, we will deal with it. He knows I have wonderful support in my husband and family. I honestly don't know how I will cope if I get laid low with that awful symptom again, but I am now not afraid to try and live my life again, to feel my zing-zing which had been lost for so long. This is just meant to inspire and give hope to others of you that might not have yet reached this point I am now at. I hope and bless all of you that are struggling to still come to terms with this condition, that you may someday get your zing-zing back too. Bless all of you, Loz
Good for you and all the best! It's good to hear when people make headway under challenging situations ... encouraging in fact. Thank you very much for sharing it.
Hi Loz! Wow...what an awesome posting. Very inspirational and I just love the Zing-Zing! I hope things continue going well for you and that you will be able to do whatever your heart desires. Take care and best wishes to you for a very bright future!
I like your determination, what did you do befor accounting. Accounting I would think would be the perfect jib for someone with mm. Desk job, can do it from home if needed. Great call. Good luck
