Last week, the therapist mentioned I might have an ocular issue also. I do have a weak Vestibular nerve in my right ear, and my eyes are forced to make up for the weak nerve, and my brain isn't adapting to the change very well. Sometimes I'll go for hours and feel fine, then it hits me quickly. Was your issue just a one time thing, the heat? It can scare you.

And heat/humidity/de-hydration is what I believe the cause as does my nurse practitioner daughter. It took a good three days for back to normal. That feeling really does suck.

That's handy having a medical pro in the family. You know that feeling when you've gone WAY too long without eating, that lightheaded weak feeling? That's how I feel almost constantly. Eating doesn't help, and I tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 1 hour ago, Ceptorman said: Neil, the line "3rd, and final, 50th HS reunion" has me confused. I see three choices. 1. Your school had three different 50th reunions. 2. You went to there different high schools your final year. 3. It took you three years as a senior to graduate. I'm just trying to be funny. I took Richie's advice and drank a cup of coffee earlier, now I'm wired The truth is boring, I went to two high schools, so that accounts for two of them, #1 & #3. I think my father was in the witness protection program. I went to reunion #3 for 2 years (9th-10th) and reunion #1 for two years (11th-12th). I've stayed in contact with people from both schools. The school from which I did not graduate (#3) invited me to the reunion before the music issue surfaced. The #2 reunion was that of a college friend. It was his request, more than a year ago, for a playlist of the best songs from 64-67 that precipitated the whole project. Once I had that playlist compiled, the organizers of reunions #1 & #3 asked for music support also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine years ago my Dad went to his 60th HS reunion. I don't know if they're planning a 70th or not, there were only 6 or 7 at his 60th. He went to grade school in a 1 room schoolhouse, with grades 1-8 all mixed in together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that bike just yells "ride me" I do have a nephew that I let ride it every so often, but as I'm sure you know, that's not the type of bike you let anyone ride, especially with a GP (reverse) shift pattern.

Check it out. http://www.livestrong.com/article/339384-herbs-vertigo/ Thanks again. That site has a lot of helpful info, especially the Halo Top ice cream I do like herbs, so does my wife. Ginko is growing in popularity, I think we will get some. My last 2 visits to my therapist had her doing ocular exercises. I do have a weakened Vestibular nerve, but some of her findings has her concerned about my eyes. She says since my vest nerve is weak, and my eyes are called upon to help with balance, but my eyes aren't responding like she wants. I don't have a spinning sensation, things move in my vision. I'm also seeing a Neurologist, he has been talking about 3 past concussions I had, and was knocked out in 1 of them. I think I'm just getting old. One good thing I've found out, according to my ENT doctor, I have exceptional hearing for a 54 year old. I've been wearing ear plugs for decades for any activity that produces excessive sounds. I even wear ear plugs while wearing a full face helmet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it for a couple reasons. It is easier to shift GP. Don't have to think about it if all my bikes are like that. But mostly, to keep people from riding it. My nephew and 2 buddies are the only ones I've ever let ride it. I'd let you ride it James You still ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
