You may be confusing him with the guy he was traded for, Nick Esasky. Veritigo ended his career.DIdn't that mess up Todd Benzinger, like for good?
Must be awful to have it chronically- I only had one episode but words can't describe how bad it sucked- I projectile vomited onto my wife I got so dizzy so quickly.Vertigo is awful. I was diagnosed with it years ago though it's been a long time since I've had a bout of it. He must have it really bad or a really severe episode to be disabled.
This doesn't make any sense to me. The Sox are loaded with infield relief? More likely, this explains why he has played so little lately. I'm happy he was able to contribute to one of the wins in Toronto.I was at the game last night and Holt took BP and seemed totally fine. I think this is maybe a bit of roster manipulation more than anything too serious.
The announcers said it "came and went", but maybe they want to see more of Selsky?I was at the game last night and Holt took BP and seemed totally fine. I think this is maybe a bit of roster manipulation more than anything too serious.
Definitely possible.Didn't Brock have some concussion issues? Maybe it has something to do with that
I had it in connection with a pulmonary embolism.For the posters here who have suffered from it, can you trace back a factor, like a concussion, or the like, to your cause, or is it just one of those unexplained things....
Just came out of nowhere. Mine is minor though. I only get dizzy if I get out bed quickly. The quick head turning and change of elevation of the head does it I guess. It is whoa, grab for a wall or a chair or I'm going down when it happens, but it never occurs for any other movement or activity. So, I sit up in bed slowly, wait a few seconds, and then get on my feet. Brock or anybody else could live with what I have, but he must have something worse.For the posters here who have suffered from it, can you trace back a factor, like a concussion, or the like, to your cause, or is it just one of those unexplained things....
I had lyme disease that relapsed. It was a side effect of it getting bad again I was told. It was more than dizziness. You can function with dizziness. Vertigo literally I could not not function, drive, anything. It was totally different.For the posters here who have suffered from it, can you trace back a factor, like a concussion, or the like, to your cause, or is it just one of those unexplained things....
Just curious what you're basing this on?I guess what I'm saying is that he clearly could have played the other night had he been needed. .
Did you read the thread? I watched him rip batting practice for a full cycle. He was having fun, smiling, hitting balls to all fields. Looked completely fine.Just curious what you're basing this on?
I did. Are you familiar with vertigo and how quickly it can onset? If you've read the thread you've noticed many people commenting on how you are fine at one moment with no warning signs and then the next you're basically incapacitated. So, while he may have been looking fine and dandy burning BP, he could have easily had issues mere moments later. Hence, I don't see what you're basing your conclusion on, other than not understanding the malady.Did you read the thread? I watched him rip batting practice for a full cycle.

AgainIf you are going to throw out a fake reason it would be a strain. Vertigo is some serious shit. Here is to hoping he beats this.
No clue. If I had to guess, it was from when I slipped and smashed my head on my driveway one winter night when I was younger. I was probably concussed but didn't know the signs and symptoms and just got up and went inside. But it's possible I did some damage. I've had two seizures in the last 5ish years, so it could be related. But, no, I never noticed anything until the first time it hit.For the posters here who have suffered from it, can you trace back a factor, like a concussion, or the like, to your cause, or is it just one of those unexplained things....
Actually, my wife is an audiologist and has a balance center in her practice. You asked me what I was basing it on, in a passive-aggressive baiting way I guess, if this is seriously your argument, and I told you.I did.

...and then Dr House came along, and dramatically concluded it was all a symptom of the underlying root cause:I had it in connection with a pulmonary embolism.
Ordinarily would there be a posiible link between what you called viral, and The Illness that felled so many Sox earlier?, I would venture to guess it is a viral syndrome.
Adding to the chorus here: the cause of my vertigo spells was diagnosed as being inflammation of the inner ear. Doc said the inflammation was caused by allergies, which was super reassuring since that implied it would be a recurring issue. And that it has, though fortunately the subsequent occurrences have been far more mild than the first. I was given heavy duty prescription allergy medications and the worst of it cleared up in a couple days, which at least allowed me to go back to work.For the posters here who have suffered from it, can you trace back a factor, like a concussion, or the like, to your cause, or is it just one of those unexplained things....
Or BPPV. If the field starts spinning every time you look up to catch a fly ball....I spend way too much time differentiating between dizziness and true vertigo in my practice. I would seriously doubt that any concussive phenomenon is in play here in the absence of any new traumatic event. Without the benefit of an exam or history or images, undoubtedly all of which he has already had, and with the obligatory grain of diagnostic salt that comes with it, I would venture to guess it is a viral syndrome.
