Sue's Health

Many of you have been asking how my mom is doing. They got the results of her MRI and she does not have a tumor. The doctor was excited about that but she was not. There are no tests to take for a diagnosis of Minears Disease, you basically have to rule out everything else. So that is what they are doing. The Dr. is treating her as if she has Minears and they will go from there. She is taking a medication for the next two months and keeping track of any dizzy spells or changes in how she feels, they will then talk and change the medication if needed. She also has to cut WAY down on her salt and caffeine intake, which she is doing VERY, VERY well with. I think she is getting frustrated because the dizzy spells continue to occur. On the positive side, she can now hear! She got a hearing aid put in yesterday. Something she had never even thought about until all of this started, she didn't even know she was deaf in her left ear. I think she is enjoying the ability to be able to hear better....however, she has not heard Jayden screaming yet while wearing it....she may think differently after that :)



I know some of you have tried to post comments in the past and were unable too....I think I figured out how to fix it; everyone should be able to comment without passwords.
