For those who've been kind enough to ask, after a couple of days of medication I'm starting to feel a lot better, thanks.

And whilst I truly appreciate your concern, I'd be grateful if you wouldn't greatly increase my anxiety, and that of my family, by suggesting that I might have had a mini-stroke or something similar. Rest assured, my symptoms have been assessed by medical professionals, and the doctor on duty on Sunday night, when I went in to A&E after a particularly horrible dizzy spell, put me through all sorts of cognitive tests to rule out anything more sinister than an inner ear infection. evening wears in short style

If my symptoms suddenly reoccur, or get worse, then obviously I'll seek further medical help. But in the meantime I'm happy to follow the advice of my doctor and keep taking the medicine he's prescribed for me.
