I have had Maroon 5's song, Moves Like Jagger in my head for the past few days. Unfortunately, it has been more like a Weird Al Jankovic version given my labyrinthitis. In my current version the main chorus line replaces "I've got the moves like Jagger" to "I've got the moves like Grandma" - pitiful, I know. [...]

You can call me Eileen…
My patch for my Harry Potter disease seems to be working. I am still dizzy and without balance, but the nausea and spinning are pretty much gone (although I do see things moving still out of the corner of my eyes - things that aren't actually moving - it is a bit freaky). I find myself [...]
