Some people think this condition is a joke, but I've been suffering from vertigo for about six years now and it's practically ruined my life. It's just awful.

Sorry for you Bonerm

Thank god they haven't released anything lately

So it would have been better if the kid fell to his death, because China has a large population?

I didnt say that. In fact it is quite racist of you to assume that.

Im a Chinaman meself in fact.

What f*cking idiot would take a picture before trying to secure the child as best he can with ropes, belts, holding his hands, anything!

Not being funny here but what are the symptoms of the vertigo you suffered? I used to think that it was only if you were on a height but now I know that's not the case.

Can I ask what you expected people to take from your post then? Because I took the exact same.

Vertigo: Feeling of dizziness
Acrophobia: Fear of heights

Vertigo has nothing to do with heights. Height Vertigo has.

Caoimhín ,
You must get misunderstood alot cos I also got from your post that you thought the kid falling wouldn't matter because of China's large population.

Sad post really if you were trying to be controversial.

So why come back to nibtrix inferring that his assumption was racist seeing as everyone else took exactly the same meaning from it.

I don't really give a fcuk but you tried to defend what you said and failed.

On topic. Is there a load more bars underneath the kid?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

HIS NAME IS MING MING :P

vertigo isnt about height its about balance, a friend of mine had it and he was told to stay away from rivers and canals in case he fell in

Cuddlesworth

I suppose the picture becomes slightly less controversial when you realize their are another set of bars underneath him.

I think this is one of the weirdest news articles I have ever read.

Who the fcuk took the picture? The boy is dangling from his head and they stop to take a picture? Lol... Asia rules.

I didn't know ears were so strong tbh!

Fair enough. I'm going to take that that post was a 'wacky' humour fail and also a touch disturbing. Cheers.

For me it came on quite suddenly. I was kneeling down to change my childs nappy years ago. When I had finished I got up but found that I was kinda dizzy, I assumed it was because I had stood up too quickly!!

As the day wore on I realised that I couldn't walk in a straight line, I kept veering to the right no matter hard I tried, almost as if there was an invisible pull at play....
I found that my head kept goin in a spin inside and If I walked along a wall to my right I would keep banging into it:eek:

When I raised my voice it would get worse. The doc put me on some tablets for a week which initially made it worse but it went after about 2 weeks and I've had only mild "head spins" maybe twice a year since which only last for a few moments....

I also find heights very hard to handle, not the fear that I will fall but my head spins at the perception of depth, even watching a height on tv will do it!!

It came on me suddenly too, I was driving along one day listening to the radio when I heard a voice............ It was counting in Spanish. Soon after I realised I was in a place called Vertigo:D

drunkymonkey

I got vertigo twice I'm just over the second time about 3 months! Happened myself and my girlfriend at the same time which was weird!

Had an awful imbalance drunk like feeling non stop except when i lay in bed..
Found it extremely hard to focus with my eyes and felt tired but couldn't sleep.
Also found it extremely difficult to think and put a sentence together, almost felt brain dead!

It effects everyone differently though some people it's all in the head and imbalanced and others its mostly a nauseous feeling in the stomach and throwing up (like sea sickness)

Doc gave me tablets but didn't do anything and just passed after 2 weeks!

Scary scary sickness and i really wouldn't wish it on anyone its horrible!
