My inner ear challenges

So in recent weeks I've discovered I have an inner ear fluid problem. That means I can have vertigo without warning. It ranges from feeling slightly light-headed or as I call "fuzzy-brained" to feeling like I am riding the Tea Cups at Disneyland. Its frustrating, it's annoying, it can get in the way of working out, it can get in the way of work. I am grateful it's not a brain tumor, I am grateful it's not MS or the wide variety of other potential health problems vertigo can be an indication of.

I'm being told to eat a low sodium diet and since I'm not a huge salt eater that's not a big deal. If I have even the slightest amount of vertigo I need to avoid caffeine and that is not that big a deal since there is always diet 7-Up. The challenge is to avoid wanting comfort foods when I am frustrated because I need to cut my night short or can't finish a work project today because I have to lay down. My additional challenge is to lower my caloric intake on the days I can't work out because I am dizzy. My challenges are the same as they have ever been...the triggers to them might be new. Regardless, nothing makes my health a greater priority then an inner ear problem with the capacity to bring your life to a standstill.
