The ringing in my right ear is totally out of control and im tired of it. it si louder all the time and its driving me nuts.

i was at the toronto general today and my Drs added a new med to try to control the menieres. All the tests i had at the balance center are back in and they decided what we already new, that 1. I have menieres. 2. That it is getting worse and affecting my balance. 3. that the ringing in my ears is alot worse. 4. that my hearing is worse in that ear. the tests showed that i have lost 40 % of my hearing in my right ear. Hello, i already knew that.
There is nothing like over stating the obvious. im hoping the new med stops the ringing. its driving me nuts. i am taking serc 24 and diazide. they are also starting me on a med called Miricon.

it better work im telling you that. They told me that i should start learning sign language. Ah you think? i have very little hearing in one ear and loosing more in the other, they also said the tests show that something is brewing with the right ear but they are unsure just what right now.

i guess i cant be that down though. Im alive, im basically happy. I have a new granbaby due in October. The dog is laying beside me watching tv with my daughter and i. Every wednesday night my youngest daughter, the one with the breast issues, and i watch american top model. she likes it and it is our special time. so i guess i cant really complain. i just wish people would not yell at me when im not feeling well or when i cant hear properly
