Just got myself another month of free trial using my new online credit card: Revolut! I like Netflix, easy peasy and it is in English!

The specialist did decrease the BPPV but I am still having residual vertigos (RV). I took the pills one time and stopped, I did not feel comfortable with them, besides, the vertigos are less stronger now. All I need is 10 sec to fix something and they are gone. I hope they will not come back because for some people it is a real nightmare living with them.

A tiny crystal is loose and it is moving inside my inner ear. The specialist (ORL) used a complex apparatus to look at my eyes’ rotation and he located the crystal. Then the ORL used a sequence of positions to lead the crystal out of the canal inside my inner ear. It seems quite rare and very impressive when it happens. Look at how the eyes are moving inside the movie, it is horrible when that happens to someone. The world is upside down and you have the impression of falling!
The total cost to treat this thing: 25 (doctor) + 81.93 (doppler X-rays) + 57.60 (specialist) + 50 (drugs) = 214.53 Euros !!! Luckily reimbursed!

I am affected since Sunday night by this strange thing: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
When I change the position of my head, brief periods of vertigo occured and they were extremely violent meaning that I could barely stand straight or walk. My eyes rolled like crazy inside its socket as if I was posessed.
Today, the doctor gave me a drug and I had to undergo doppler X-rays of my neck to see if there was any damages to my nerves. I did it and everything seems normal.
I requested to see the specialist (Oto-Rhino-Laryngology) tomorrow with all the results as an emergency.
I am afraid of lying down or standing up or changing the position of my head.

I am glad I made it.
It seems that I had a cold yesterday maybe combined with some kind of food poisoning.

Finally, the technician should come in the morning to connect my apartment and if all goes well, I should have a nice 200 Mbps speed. I did not want to pay more for 1024 Mbps (1 Go/sec) because I rarely see anything as fast as 45 Mbps.

I had dizziness and nausea yesterday. It was quite unusual to feel the world spinning around me. I barely had time to walk straight to the bathroom to vomit. Maybe something I ate.
I will check with the doctor tomorrow.

It’s one of my favorite street food from Vietnam and I prepared myself a nice “Bánh cuốn” dish this afternoon. I bought the main part and added myself all the herbs and the sauce (nuoc mam). I live to eat good food and not “eat to live”.

I kept on asking for an exemption for my income tax last year, and this year, I even added the decision from the court to freeze the bank mortgage. It seems that something might have worked since I received a tax refund today!
Happy Happy Happy!
I need the same refund for my housing and property taxes!
