I am beginning to wonder if I cracked my collarbone yesterday . . . . I may be seeing a doctor sooner than I think!

I agree with those who say go see a doctor. It is more important to address the root cause than the symptom. There is no guarantee the symptom solutions will be 100% effective.

I feel safe going to the doctor. I went for a full physical and everything was set up very well. So do not hesitate. It would seem that the odds of you getting injured in your condition might be greater than the odds of catching a severe case of the virus.

Without Googling this, it has to be one of those shower heads with electric wires running to it to operate a heating element in the shower head to warm the water. My parents went on a vacation to Haiti in the 1970s and took a picture of one of these that was in the hotel room they stayed in. Looked like a part from an electric chair or something out of a Frankenstein movie.

Everyone here is so nice, no matter what I ask people try to help!
You can buy vitamins online at costco.com , we did and they ship them free.
The price of the vitamins might be $1 more than in your local store, but for us it was an easy solution.

badatmath, Just a thought, does the dizziness happen when looking up, as when rinsing hair and face? Consider your carotid artery flow is restricted, as this move reduces flow more. When getting hair washed at hair salons most will insist older people face toward the sink and bend forward. Not sit with back to sink and hang head over sink.

Narrowing happens with age.

Hmm, maybe. I definitely associate it with moving my head and neck - didn't realize it could be so many things. Most days are not a problem . . .but

That is correct. We have used them I think in Culebra. Didn't die but updated will.
