And the doctor says....
I have Meniere's disease. This is a tentative diagnosis, and she's set up an appointment with a neurologist for me. AND gave me the paperwork to get onto a reduced income/no insurance program they run.
After a bit of hyperventilating and thinking "Ohmygod I'm going to lose my hearing" I calmed down a bit. I'm basically okay with it now, and even more so since I found out the Antivert is $7/60 pills. One more bloody pill a day. Sheesh.
In other news, the gas is off and will be til next week since someone (gazes reproachfully at self) messed up on keeping track of the bill. It's not ridiculously high, but since I went to the doctor we don't have enough money to go and pay the bill with. However, we have some nice large roasters for getting hot water for dishes and baths, and a microwave and an electric skillet and toaster oven, so eating isn't an issue, and it's not so cold as to burst the pipes in here or at night. It's making my hands have fits, but that's just the way that is, and I put them under my shirt when it hurts too much. So we will manage til then.
