    Not the type that attack your plants.
    One that attacks you.
    Felt ill yesterday after lunch,bad stomach and muggy head.:dunno:
    My wife was ill,i am her carer so carried on.
    Middle of night turning over in bed almost fell out twice.
    On waking today whole world spinning and feeling very sick.
    Got up and got on with it till my wife felt well enough to get up and after a few hours i climbed in.
    My wife suffers from various types of vertigo so i know all about it,real worry as if i become ill no idea what we would do.
    But since found out several people have had same thing,so it seems like a bug rather then anything more serious.
    Just thought i would warn people as it will scare the pants off you.
    So bad that to be honest i couldn't have got to the docs anyway.
    Really hope no one gets it but just in case it seems it only last around 48 hours

    I suffered a bug that gave me vertigo last year. lowrider. I got out of bed one morning and immediately fell over and couldn't raise my head with feeling dizzy and sick. I rang the Chemist, who I've known for 30 years, and she prescribed "Sea Sick" pills [:dunno:] and sent them round to me. I was better within hours and kept on the pills for three days just to make sure.:snork:

    This seems to be widespread, ive heard alot of people have been pole axed by this bug. My body seems to have stuck a middle finger up to it and told it to hike though.. Ive been in the line of fire with this bug for sure, I'm pretty sure ive inhaled it, and my immune system destroyed it ! Very widespread at the moment though.
