Janet Jackson has released a YouTube video thanking her fans for their love and support during her recent illness. Jackson was diagnosed with vertigo and migraines that forced her to cancel numerous concerts on her tour. But she’s better now and wants the world to know so she posted the video on boyfriend Jermaine Dupri’s Living the Life YouTube channel.
Dispelling rumors that Janet and Jermaine have split up, the pair playfully pretended to put makeup on Dupri since he was sitting in Janet’s chair, showed off Dupri’s new camera and laughed off the notion that Jackson had kicked him to the curb because he puked on her.
Jackson, 42, also showed her silly side: After pretending to put rouge on Dupri’s cheek as he sat in her makeup chair, she dismissed rumors that the two had split.
“Baby, they say you broke up with me because I threw up on you,” a laughing Dupri said as he held the camera.
“How lame is that?” Jackson deadpanned. “Because you threw up on me … Well, there’s no real love there, is it?”

Ah, yes, true love will allow ralphing in your lap, anytime, anywhere. If you can lose your lunch, or in this case your one-too-many Bacardi and cokes, on your partner and they still love you just as much as before, you know you’ve got a keeper!
Janet looks gorgeous as usual, backstage at a concert now that she’s back on the road. If you’ve never had migraines, thank your lucky stars! If you have, I know you feel incredible empathy for Jackson. I can’t even imagine having a migraine with stage lights in my face and music at ungodly decibels coming from all directions. I can’t even handle a slit of light through the drapes or the sound of the furnace kicking on when I have them.

Maybe it’s her nice BRIGHT TIGHT YELLOW outfit that’s causing the migraines.
I have vertigo and its horrible. I started having problems at the age of 45. There are times I cant get out of bed for 2 or 3 days and then there are times that its more than a week. I have had my job for many years, so they understand, but it would be hard to hold down a job because of this illness. I would rather have triplets naturally than to go thru vertigo a few times a year. Its god awful!!
She reminds me of one of the baddies from “Tron”.
She must be on some good meds.
I feel bad for Janet. I bet he walks all over her.
She did look pretty in the video, though.
Gina and others with vertigo – if you have BPPV or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, there is a new way to treat it that I read about in a neurology journal after it got some press. This is the official move to treat it that they will do in the doctor’s office and it’s very simple and you can do it from home:

If you have any friends or loved ones with vertigo, (this often affects elderly people) it can be caused by debris in the ear or “ear rocks,” and that’s when it’s called BPPV. Please share that video as it is often an effective treatment from what I have read.
