Woke up feeling worse. Again I feel really dizzy and I have been sick several times.

All I can do is sleep today. I'm not eating at all. Just sleeping non-stop. Whenever I open my eyes I feel sick. I can feel so much acid building up that I can't do anything but concentrate on keeping it down. Sod it. Been sick a few more times but no relief at all.

There's no way I can cope with this so I've called the emergency doctor again. She suggests that I have an injection for the sickness and says that the visiting doctor will phone back.

The doctor has called back with a really bad attitude. Wants me to get into a taxi and come down to the Doctors Co-Operative. I've no idea why he won't come out and he tells me that he has other important cases to attend to!

Finally get to the doctors at 9pm and I'm sick on the way. Can't manage to walk to the building and when I finally get there I collapse onto the chairs in the waiting room. The doctor isn't happy that I had to come down at all and wonders why her colleague has taken this attitude.

She says it is almost certainly Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and wants to admit me into Hospital so that they can make me comfortable and see me in the morning. Nope. I refuse but agree to be treated as an out-patient. She gives me a Stemetil intramuscular injection for the nausea which should help within about half an hour but I can't do anything but cover my eyes up and lay down on the bed in the consultancy room. The lights and sound are really making me ill.

An appointment has been made with the ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Senior House Officer (SHO) at the hospital for 9am.

The taxi ride home was a real roller-coaster again. When I get home I can hardly get up the stairs even though I am being helped every step of the way. I get back into bed and wait for this damn sickness to go. Luckily enough after about an hour or so I start feeling a bit better and I don't feel I need to vomit. The dizziness is still there but I just want to get to sleep. This is too much to take.
