Thanks, Tboyd.?

I have an appointment with my Neuro-Oto on Wednesday.

Now you make a point that I've somehow missed along the way.? See - I considered
the 'attacks', by which I mean a sudden and severe case of ceiling-spinning
vertigo, to be what the tentative dx of Meniere's so long ago, was all about.?
Meniere's - a disease of remitting bouts of vertigo.? What I'm hearing is that
this 'aftermath' that I'm experiencing is, for some, a constant?

:quelching panic:? This state of being is frightening to me.? The very thought
of it possibly becoming a constant....good God!!!

I think it's pretty much different with everyone. While the core symptoms are
universal, every Meniere's person has their own sets of symptoms and triggers,
as well. I have experienced that 'fog', as you term it, but to a lesser degree,
and that constant feeling that the dizziness can return in an instant is my
normal. So is the ringing and buzzing in my ears. I'm not a doctor, and I would
encourage you to ask a medical professional for confirmation, but it seems to me
that it could be an 'episode' consisting of your own Meniere's symptoms. And
don't be sorry; it's things like this that this site is here for. I hope you get
to feeling better. Here's to dizzy free days!

my time wondering if this is how it is for everyone.? Clarity peeks through and
a little voice whispers, 'It was just another 'one time thing'. After all - how
long has it been since you've had one this bad again?'

just another fluke and chalk up this not-dizzy-but-I-could-quick-get-that-way

just aren't all that steady.?
