What's Meniere's Like?
Just a bit of an ear update-

After an ENT (ear nose and throat) doctor suggested that I may have Meniere's syndrome, my symptoms have become a bit worse. I also stopped taking the antihistamines, because they were hard on my system.

My right ear feels like someone is pulling it downward from the opening, really hard. There is a bit of pressure and when I move my head (turning, looking, walking) there is a slight spinning or moving in slo-mo feeling. There is intermittent ringing in both ears, mostly the right though. Finally, I am overwhelmed with tiredness and nausea.

I hate being sick- I am trying to keep up my schedule, volunteering and job hunting, etc. But I am much snappier than I was before and I feel like an old lady. I hate complaining. I don't want to go back to the doc for the water pill prescription, but since the symptoms are getting worse, I may have to. This is all so freaky.

There is another thing too- short term memory problems or just feeling like I am in a total fog. ugh.

Sometimes people only have one occurrance of the symptoms then sometimes they happen all of the time for years. I hope I fall into the previous category.

Nap time...
