Auntie Ashleigh came for a visit and the kids were thrilled (and their mom too!) I was able to go for a massage in the morning. It was fabulous and I would highly recommend her to anyone in Bellingham. In the afternoon I had another ENT appointment. I have had tinnitus for close to two weeks and I was scheduled for a hearing test. The hearing test showed that I do have the hearing loss associated with Meniere's so now I know. A lifetime of daily medication and a low salt diet. I had really not been following the diet b/c I didn't have any symptoms lately and thought the diuretic was doing enough. After two week of tinnitus and no vertigo/vomiting (yet) I realize that I will have to be careful about salt. He also prescribed a high dose steroid for the next few days that should help with my hearing. Hopefully this steroid will help me at the gym (just kidding, not the same kind).

Jen I'm sorry to hear that. I, on the other hand have hearing loss from screaming children, can I get a steroid for that?
Glad you enjoyed your massage, you deserved it!
Jen...that stinks, I had no idea about the tinnitus and now hearing loss! I will do what I can to help you stay "low sodium" at work (no more Mary comfort food from the cafeteria)...and don't give me your hearing aid, because I have a bad track record of breaking them! LOL!
Glad to hear you have a dianosis... the lifetime of medication isn't so bad, I've been doing it since I was 15!
I'll keep my eye on you... I don't want you taking your roid rage out on me!
