I have good news and bad news on the health front! The good news is that while yes, I still have small blood vessel disease, and it's still causing small bleeding in my brain, it really is no big deal. For another 25 years. I just got a BIG heads up that if I'm not a good girl who eats her veggies and keeps up with the exercise, then I get to suffer from some serious brain problems. Important things to know!
It's not what's causing my dizziness. I am still having problems with vertigo. I am not better at all. The dizziness is caused by an inner ear infection. Yes, what my doctors originally thought was the problem is STILL the problem. What they didn't know, and the neurologist DID , is that I can look forward to 3-4 months of this, and can still have problems up to a YEAR later. It really does last this long. I can also expect it to come and go on occasion- something else my doctors didn't know. There's also NOTHING that can be done about it. I just get to be dizzy.
It would have been nice to not have paid for an MRI and a Neurologist to find that out.
