Hi Janey,
Glad to hear you are doing well. Unfortunately, I am not doing as well. In addition to the balance, wonky head, pressure in ear, lightheaded issues, I have also developed some facial nerve issues. (Noticed when I couldn't spit my toothpaste out right). Also my eye doesn't close all the way. That has been very annoying since now I can't wear my contacts and have to deal with glasses. I haven't worn glasses for any length of time in 30 years and its driving me nuts. (I can have issues that only 1% of people get, but can't win the lottery, haha). I was prepared for everything but he facial nerve and I admit that it freaked me out a little bit although it has not been that bad.
Went back to dr Lunsford on 5-23 to review. He gave me another steroid pack hoping to help, but as we all know, its mostly just waiting it out. Also gave me drops & ointment for the eye and that is making it feel better. I also had some issues with driving. Hard to describe it, but it seems like my eyes were doing something strange.
I have been feeling a bit better. Less wonky & better balance. My hearing came back quite a bit, but then went away again. Feeling a little more lightheaded today & am wondering if the fluorescent lights might have something to do with it as it didn't seem as bad over the weekend.
Have a vacation scheduled starting 6-10 & am driving to Virginia Beach. Hopefully I will keep improving in that area. Still tend to get tired early in the evening, but that's a bit better too.
Luckily nothing else has gone wrong. You just never know from day to day. Will keep you updated.
