My yoga class comprises mostly older adults and mostly women. I'm the odd one in class, which I usually am regardless. I hate gubbmint, I don't have children, I demand freedom (as the delightful Candace Owens said recently to Tucker...) and, of course, I stay far, far away from doctors. Yes, the odd one...

Tuesday I set up next to a woman usually with another friend who just happened to be absent. This woman and I start to chat before class starts. I mention that I missed seeing her last week...Oh, yeah. Got my 4th booster, she tells, and almost immediately came down with the severest headache. Took 24 hours before she began to feel human again. Shared my condolences over that, "Oh, I'm so sorry. You feeling better now?" Yes, she assured me, but went on to say that this will be her last "COVID" shot, she thinks. Her flu shot two weeks before was fine, she said...

Oh. My head...

Guess who missed yoga today -- again?

As for vertigo, it is a thing. I've had bouts my entire life. The first one I remember I was young -- maybe 20 or so? Took me right off my feet. Unable to move my head or anything else. I can go years and years without any episodes, and then, boom -- out of the blue -- debilitating dizziness. I think it's inner ear related. Something knocks those little bobbing crystals in our ears outta whack and that's that until they right themselves. I had one recently -- in the middle of the night. Moved the "wrong" way. The ensuing swirling was so severe, it almost felt like being hit. Got myself into a comfortable position and waited for it to settle down and prayed when I got up, it would be gone. It was. So, while it is entirely possible that this injectable junk could bring on vertigo, there are a few of us who do experience it. Rarely, thank goodness, but it's a thing. Funnily enough at my last job, one of the other senior HR leaders with whom I worked also got intermittent vertigo. It does really suck...

Nice, funny and relatable rant, Sadie Jay. Just in time for holidays. :-)

Can we shun them? We can - but I don't. Most are still fully clueless. (Though I do pass on large inside gatherings)

Where I work part time - a housing authority - vertigo is rampant. Sciatica on the rise, and many folks tell me how they keep getting sick. Zero and I mean zero would consider the vaxx. Amazing.

Strange planet to be on right now. Thanks for sharing what us unvaxxed all are dealing with.

Best.
