Sick Day Survival: Handling a Full Schedule When You're Feeling Ill

So, I haven’t received the results yet, but I’ve been told that the signs could indicate vertigo. As a result, I feel dizzy constantly, and even medication doesn’t seem to help. I have orders lined up until the week after next—these are schedules that we made before I got sick. This situation presents a significant challenge in managing my workload while dealing with persistent dizziness. How do I navigate this? What solutions can I explore to manage my orders effectively while dealing with vertigo?

That sounds really tough, @ZannX. Please don’t push yourself too hard, your health should always come first. I hope you have someone nearby, maybe a relative or a trusted crafter friend, who can help lighten your workload for now. If not, being open and transparent with your clients might be the best approach. Above all, keep praying for strength and healing. God bless you, dear!

Be kind to yourself :relieved: if you push to hard your body will force you to rest even longer.
Take care :relieved: and get well soon

I’m so sorry to learn you are going through this. I suffer from vertigo as well and it can be so debilitating at times. Your doctor should give you some treatment options to help you.
Some things that I was told are:

Stay hydrated
Vitamin D Supplements
Ginkgo Biloba
Acupressure - can help alleviate symptoms, didn’t help me
Epley Maneuver - this physical maneuver can help repositions the crystals within the inner ear. This didn’t help me but cured my mother-in-law.

Hopefully you get the health care you need, and yes please look after yourself. Your health is so important.
Sending hugs :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
