I hope they will find a solution for me since everything’s so blocked I keep having these dizzy / nauseous attacks. This helped me make an appointment for next month at the specialist office. Scared to death though, but I really want this to be over with :(
Oh no, that’s the worst feeling. I truly get it though, the inner ear is so important to our basic functioning and when it’s not working right there’s no way to have a regular life. Even basic things like walking are a struggle.
I’m glad I could help you make that next step! I understand how it can be incredibly frightening. I’m lucky (maybe?) that I had my first sets of tubes when I was very very young so it’s something I’ve experienced already and was normalized. If you want to talk about it or have a pep talk before your appt shoot me a message! And they definitely should be able to do something for your anxiety about it, that’s just good patient care. But we’re not always so lucky to have understanding doctors.
Truly! I have daily nerve pain but it’s nothing compared to those attacks.
You are truly an amazing person! I might follow you up on that, although I think my first appointment will just be assessing what’s the problem since it’s only ten minutes. Woohoo, medical care. I’ll make sure to tell them I’ve been struggling for ten years but didn’t feel taken seriously about my symptoms and anxiety so hopefully they’ll help me out. Although I don’t think so since acetaminophen and ibuprofen has become a meme in this country with doctors prescribing nothing else, lol.
