Labyrinthitus

Had a bad episode of Labyrinthitus about 7 years ago which sent me and the house into the worst spin imagineable. Wife, who used to be a nurse, called doc who injected Stematol ( I think ) to stop the sickness. When I did the eye test to follow his hand he called his colleague and said "Wow, Look at this " I think my eyeballs were going walkabout.
Couldn't see for a couple of days and had to be spoon fed for about a week.
The worst thing is that docs can do very little for the condition. My quack was worse than useless by not accepting that it can last more than the six weeks his textbbook said.
About nine months later, I got my licence back.

Installed MS Flight Sim ( sad, I know ) to get hand/eye co ordination back, and bought myself a mountain bike to explore the flight envelope, as it were.

Regards
