Nelsen could have missed the game with vertigo???

[HammersmithR]

According to Mark Hughes after the game. Sure I heard that right!

Can't work that one out. I know Spurs is up north, but it's not up Mount Everest!

I nearly got vertigo in my seat today, 2nd from the frigging back! Great view though tbf.

In seriousness though I think Sparkie said after the game the past 2 days Nelson has been cooped up in a hotel room with an ear infection & vertigo yet still played today. Also Ceasar didnt train last 2 sessions due to a back problem. We're a proper bunch of sicknotes!

If indeed he could be suffering rom labyrinthitis then this is nasty, I have suffered myself over the last six months. You lose your balance and even sitting down means that the room starts to swim causing extreme nausea.

Common misconception tbf. I've been known to get just as queasy looking up from the foot of a tall building than if I'm at the top looking down.

Off the top of my head *cough* acrophobia?

i don't have a fear of heights. I do have a fear of falling and hitting the ground very very fast.

so is that it then ? cos when i`m at he top of seriously high scaffolding , i`m not scared of falling ,i`m scared of being up there, theres somthing in me that wants to fall ( might be being a Rangers fan ), to get me out of being up there.

I've always had an issue when I'm up high, but usually only when safety barriers are too low for me. I'm tall and if I get the feeling that just losing my balance would send me over the barrier then I'm in real trouble.

Inside tall buildings I'm usually OK, and I love flying, but send me up a ladder and I'm clinging to it like a complete idiot.

My idea of hell is this place...

Labyrinthitis is not vertigo but has similar symptoms, if indeed he has this then it is a common cold viral infection that just happened to travel further up the sinuses to the ear canal, causing the imbalance. No cure other than taking anti-vertigo tablets which effectively blocks the communication from the ear to he brain, so the brain is the only thing that works out your balance. You may think that you are cured, I.e. haven't had an episode in months and then you have another attack. When walking it is very surreal, I can only compare it to walking on a soft trampoline and everything around you is on its own trampoline, everything is just bouncing around you. I have it mildly but know somebody who pretty much spent the first five months of the year in bed as he vomited every time he got up, poor fella could hardly stand.
