What rare disease do I have today? Page 3

I thought vertigo was a fear of heights?

No, it's a film.

Vertigo is the colloquial name given to the fear of heights, but it's erroneous.

Fear of heights is correctly known as acrophobia.

It's good to have an educated man about.

Some types of vertigo/dizziness can be cured by carrying out the Epley manoeuvre.

Ooo, what's this Lopey? (and sorry I missed you on Saturday)

I have rhinitis all the time, meaning my ears and nose are constantly blocked. Even a very good ENT couldn't help. I have to use a strong steroid spray to keep it under control.

I said I'm the CURE, you blind?

I ate a 5 and a half year old Wispa last night, will I die?

Wow, a retro one? Before they 'came back'?
How exciting.

Yes the very ones the best before date was 28/04/04, it tasted ok though. A little bit, well, off probably but it was still a Wispa in spirit. I still have one more tha I will eat on 28/04/14 when it is 10 years out of date

Thank you, oh wise one!

And I think my brother may have some kind of fear of heights, but not certain. Don't know of anyone else though.

I use to have quite a fear of heights. From time to time, I still get wobbley.

I don't mind heights in a building or up a ladder. I just mind if I'm not attached to the ground, like in a plane or something.

A hot air balloon tethered to the ground would be great, one floating about on its own would be baaaaad.
