5. Dizziness
People who regularly suffer from vertigo or a phobia of heights will attest to how scary an episode of dizziness can be. Feeling like Alice in Wonderland, people experiencing a dizzy spell can find that their body doesn’t want to follow the mind’s instruction, or that the mind is too busy spinning to give any instructions, and so the limbs develop a mind of their own.
When the crystals in the ear become dislodged, the signals from the brain to the body are interrupted and so the head actually processes movements a little later than they happen. This can have an impact the other way round too, and so staying still or lying down is usually the best bet. The two illnesses, roseola and flu are similar in that an early symptom is a dizziness, though there is some school of thought that suggests this comes about from lying down too much. Too much bed rest maybe.
