Well, crap

I seem to be having some dizziness today.  I refuse to call it vertigo, but ugh.  I'm not feeling up to par this morning.  I hope it disappears.  On that note, anyone want to talk to me about Meniere's Disease?  There is a possibility that this is what is going on.  Like, better than non-zero.  *goes to bury head in sand*

Have they done tests to conclude that it's Ménière's? From what I understand it's a disease they diagnose by exclusion.

[jelazakazone]

Right. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. I've done the MRI (it was clear). I had an audiologist do the movement thing. It wasn't that ear crystal problem. I've had two hearing tests and my hearing improved from the first to the second. The original thought was that it was a virus in the inner ear, but after the second test, the ear doctor thought that maybe, unofficially, it was Meniere's.

So, um, yeah. I have three of the four symptoms pretty clearly (hearing loss, stuffy feeling in ear, and vertigo). The ringing in the ears thing doesn't really happen. Or if it does, it's not limited to one ear.

I don't know. I'm feeling better than I was this morning, so I'm happy about that. I'm about to go dancing and am hoping my restful day has paid off.

Thanks for asking!

I hope you have a great time tonight!

Will cross all fingers & toes that it's just a lingering infection (I had one of those a few years ago, I presented with some diminished hearing and vertigo but it resolved itself after a few months) and not Ménière's.

[jelazakazone]

Thanks! I plan to.

Yeah, unfortunately the stuffy ear thing started like two years ago and the vertigo was awful a year ago for a few months. Hearing seems to be continuing to diminish:(

[k_nightfox]

Ew, that sucks. Still, stranger things have happened. I'll continue to hope for some kind of recovery for you!

[jelazakazone]

Yeah, I know! Thanks:D It really does seem like the hearing is going in my right ear, but maybe it will recover. Who can tell. The human body is a strange beast:D

I felt well enough to dance as much as I wanted, so that was excellent!
