I just want it to stop.<br /><br />I've noticed some similar triggers, which I try to avoid. So it may be similar to your experience. Yet, I still can't drive, and even being in a car or on a train is nauseating. Is that the same for you? How much do your symptoms impair your daily life and work?<br /><br />My next step is to schedule a Videonystagmography test; that will determine whether the issue is inner ear or neurological. Did you take that test?@nooil4pacifistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688417615117569825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-77663087087784116522011-11-23T18:40:22.444-05:002011-11-23T18:40:22.444-05:00Thanks much, OBloodyHell,

Did your symptoms fade away or suddenly improve?"<br /><br />Mine very gradually faded away, and I HATE to tell you this, but in small ways I continue to be haunted by inner ear...sensitivities. Especially with visual triggers:<br />ie: if I'm on a train and another train moves in the station --- instant vertigo. I suspect that these will plague me the rest of my life.<br />However, they have faded away enough to no longer be a handicap & I have learned to anticipate what will be a trigger.<br />(I think my issues were probably initially caused by repeated inner ear infections related to swimming). <br /><br />Sorry I can't be more helpful or more encouraging---sometimes I find a mild decongestant like Sudafed helps---but, believe me, I understand what you are experiencing.<br /><br />KitKitWistarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824004653382583593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-70099990661574593382011-11-23T13:53:25.565-05:002011-11-23T13:53:25.565-05:00OBH: I'm outraged, outraged I tell 'ya, t...OBH: I'm outraged, outraged I tell 'ya, that you didn't link to <a href="http://nooilforpacifists.blogspot.com/2007/10/ask-neo-con-part-5.html" rel="nofollow">this</a>.@nooil4pacifistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688417615117569825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-57583530047619844622011-11-23T13:46:14.648-05:002011-11-23T13:46:14.648-05:00A number of things you may find worth reading are:...A number of things you may find worth reading are:<br /><br /><a href="http://bastiat.org/en/twisatwins.html" rel="nofollow">That Which Is Seen</a><br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Bastiat" rel="nofollow">Frédéric Bastiat</a><br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Say%27s_law" rel="nofollow">Say's law</a><br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage" rel="nofollow">Comparative advantage</a><br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons" rel="nofollow">Tragedy of the commons</a><br /><br /><a href="http://mises.org/daily/1378" rel="nofollow">The Nation That Lost Its Jobs, But Got Them Back </a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.03/economy.ideas_pr.html" rel="nofollow">The Economy of Ideas </a><br /><br />That'll keep ya busy.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-24123872504854687152011-11-23T13:37:30.738-05:002011-11-23T13:37:30.738-05:00Kit, if you would like to enhance your understandi...Kit, if you would like to enhance your understanding of economics, I recommend Carpe Diem as a first effort, along with the regular columns by Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell (at Townhall.com, among other places), many of which discuss economic issues.<br /><br />You can also find some good stuff at mises.org, though their political stuff is sometimes off-putting, being a regurgitation of Lew Rockwell's ultra-libertarian thinking.<br /><br />But when the stick to economics alone, they are first rate.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-34870462792444846652011-11-23T13:34:33.770-05:002011-11-23T13:34:33.770-05:00>>> cold water absorbs more CO2 than war...>>> <i> cold water absorbs more CO2 than warm water. </i><br /><br />This seems the opposite of what I'd expect.

( read: don't even dare breathe--it emits CO2).<br />You have shared clear, cold facts on the CO2/carbon/global warming issue and I thank you.<br />I loathe sloppy, unsubstantiated thinking, no matter who is doing it, liberals or conservatives. Liberals are undoubtedly the more smugly "green", however, particularly here in DC.( Green is also the nausea showing on my face when I hear the current "green-o-babble")<br />While I don't always agree with NOFP--or understand some of the complicated economics---I always appreciate the care and intelligence with which you write.<br /><br />I hope you are beginning to feel better--I, too, have experienced inner ear issues and it is horrible.KitWistarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824004653382583593noreply@blogger.com
