is the room spinning… or is it just me?
Turns out, it’s just me.
I’ve been dizzy on and off for … well, for about three years now. It’s gotten worse … well, significantly worse, in the last month or so. I made a deal with Mike that I’d go to the doctor for it if he would go to the doctor about his funky mole (got the letter in the mail yesterday that it wasn’t cancerous). I’m terribly bad about not being willing to go see a doctor… I worry that I’m making my symptoms up or that they aren’t as bad as I think or whatever.
As it turns out, I wasn’t making them up and they aren’t a passing thing. My doctor had me do several balance and coordination tests, and I didn’t do very well on them. He had me go in the next day for bloodwork (extensive, if the amount of blood drawn is any indication), and I am scheduled for an MRI this Wednesday. The doctor said there are some pretty bad things that he wants to rule out before determining that I have inner ear problems with migraines. Thankfully, he left those possible ‘bad things’ unnamed. I don’t need specifics to worry about until I meet with him again. I’ll worry enough about the generalities, unfortunately.
But at least the doctor is moving quickly, and we’ll know something soon. I’m hoping he’ll be able to start me on something that will ease the dizzies. My casual lean against whatever wall I’m near at the moment is beginning to look a little less casual than I would like.

I’m praying for you. If you ever need more than just a wall for some support, let me know. You have been there for me more times than I can imagine so know that I’m praying for you.
Praying for you that it is an inner ear issue and not one of those “pretty bad things”.
Praying here in Natchitoches.
Did we find out what’s going on?
