I've been dizzy as hell lately with splitting headaches. I originally blamed it all on overindulgence of video games and computer use, but after a few days I knew there was something wrong, but never thought the diagnosis would have been this bad.
BPV (Benign Positional Vertigo)
This website is dead on accurate of all the symptoms I've been having throughout this whole time.
Quick stat:
Frequency: Incidence of BPV is 64 cases per 100,000 population per year (conservative estimate).
Now I haven't had any head trauma (except being dropped as a baby) and I haven't even had the mildest of colds. This leaves the 'aging process' as the explanation for this problem.
(I can already hear Grimm laughing)
This does solidify my theory that I have Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), but only a mild case. Along the lines of 1.5x the aging speed for someone my age rather than the 5x - 10x the speed the average HGPS patients are diagnosed as having.
So I can't sleep on my left side, or even lay on my left side cuz it appears to be my inner ear on the left side. I've been having massive head rushes when laying in bed forcing me to sleep on my right side, but I assumed they were seizure symptoms. How wrong I was, obviously.
So lets cover all the current problems:
awaiting surgery for torn ligaments in both shoulders
had an x-ray on my wrist for a likely fracture
benign positional vertigo
I think I should just apply for a handicap parking spot.
Might as well take advantage of all the problems.

This condition often begins following head trauma or a severe cold.
It can also arise simply as part of the aging process.
