Got an MRI this morning
Feb. 22nd, 2006 01:48 pm...and it was totally boring. Despite the noise, I managed to fall asleep while it was being done. Good thing they they put padding around my head to keep it from moving. And no
triggur, they would not give me the dataset. I asked.
On the subject of possible causes, I poked around http://www.menieresinfo.com/start.html and saw these symptoms for Meniere's Disease:
- Fluctuating (episodic) hearing loss.
- Fluctuating (episodic) rotational vertigo (a form of dizziness).
- Fluctuating (episodic) tinnitus (a sound heard when there is no sound).
- Fluctuating (episodic) aural fullness (a sense of pressure in the middle ear, as if descending in an airplane; however, it is *not* actual pressure in the middle ear).
The only one of these I have is tinnitus, and it's constant. So that's a relief.
My next appointment with the ENT is on Monday morning. More news should come after then.
