Over the following year I got married, started teaching seventh and eighth grade, and began work on a novel. All this took months, and I continued to be dizzy, all day, every day. Anonymous posters described how their medications didn’t work and their doctors couldn’t cure them. During one eighth-grade English class, when I turned around to write on the blackboard, I stumbled and couldn’t stabilize myself. I fell in front of my students and was too disoriented to stand.
