The last few weeks have been nothing short of frustrating. I've been lightheaded more often than not, with the ear pain and tinnitus increasing as well. The lightheaded feeling is very awkward. It's almost like I'm floating, and my head goes numb in flashes. The more severe flashes are actually making even my hands feel numb. It's very bad in the mornings, seems to lessen in the afternoons, and comes back full force in the evenings. It's actually scary to drive when I feel like this.
I called the Lyme specialist earlier in the week and they hadn't received my test results yet. So today I turned to my neurologist, hoping that SOMEONE would have an answer or at least a way to deal with this. The neuro had nothing. Her only suggestion was a spinal tap to check for Lyme. Yikes! She suggested that I call the Lyme doc again and see if there is any way to put a rush on my tests given my symptoms of late.
Thankfully, I called at just the right time. It looks like my results are in, and the doc had a list of 5 people who were trying to move their appointments up. There just happened to be a cancellation for tomorrow afternoon, and since I called (before they got a chance to decide which of the 5 people they should call first) I got the appointment.
So, cross your fingers, toes, whatever, and hope that I can finally get some answers tomorrow. I need to start moving in the right direction, quickly!
