If there is also a trusted adult at school (a counsellor/tutor/teacher) then speak to them as well. That way, if anything 'kicks off' they are forewarned.

Sorry, quick rant, I know people have worse things in life than vertigo but this is doing my head in. Three days now of feeling like I'm on a boat. I am going totally insane.

Google isn't working for me right now so I can't be specofic, but there is a head positioning maneuver you can do that might cure your vertigo. You might want to look into it.

Aww thank you all I really appreciate your help and your kind words

EDIT 10/06/2013: It started after I took a bit of a bash to the head in the line of duty. Doctor says I'm mildly concussed but not 'damaged.' I now have tablets for the vertigo and I've been told to take it easy for a couple of weeks. Touch wood a casting and a filming aren't due to take place until August and the start of September respectively otherwise I'd be explaining how I'd brained myself on a desk (of all things, I am so ashamed.)

Have you tried a behind the ear pattch, Mnemosyne? It's by prescription only. I've had vertigo many times due to ear infections or other infections, and that worked the best. My first time using one was on a cruise ship, of all places!! I hope yours gets better soon.

I got another kidney stone on my right side. why can't i just stay away from peanuts and chocolate???!! It's soooo hard to do!!

Vertigo on a cruise ship, that is really *really* unlucky. Must have been hellish. I've never tried those patches, but I've been given some tablets which take the edge off and I can just take on up to three times a day when I need to.

I've never had a kidney stone thankfully but they sound incredibly painful, what are they going to do to you? I hope you get well soon (and, if I'm honest, peanut butter and chocolate were made for each other. I couldn't give them up.)

Leaving a rant. I've got to do my english homework (I know it's late, don't judge me) right now and this is the exercise:

1) You are a cockroach in Tent D. You see Stanley enter and you wonder what happened to him outside. Then you see Zero enter as well. You are curious and you observe the boys closely. Describe what you see happening.

2) You are a lizard searching for food. However, you sense that something is clearly wrong with the boys and you start watching them closely. Describe what you see happening.

Honestly? Are you f--- kidding me? I do not want to know what being a cockroach is like...
Got to get through this, though. Oh well...

I think both are a clear invitation to write a good old slash story

**Posted by Mary Me** June 11, 2013 9:23 pm

Oh, spare me!!

**Posted by Harriet** June 11, 2013 9:25 pm

Just wanted to be helpful

Shhhh, there's an absolute silence in my house and I'm laughing way too loud!
How I would love to see the faces of my class mates....

Ooh, Mary me, would you be studying holes by any chance?

It's a great book. Which bit are you up to?

**Posted by Mary Me** June 11, 2013 9:37 pm

We're done with the first sixteen chapters now. Funny enough, we're writing the exam this week

**Posted by Davina** June 11, 2013 9:50 pm

It is a great story!

Skitty..would that be too many Reeses Peanut Butter Cups? Funniest ting ever was my old man buying and biting into one. He absolutely loathes peanut butter! He didn't realise they had peanut butter in them. It was hilarious- for us watching, not for him, obviously!
