Vertigo Back?

I can't believe I have to say this, but I had a mild vertigo attack Tuesday morning.  My ear had been acting up the previous couple of days with buzzing and fullness which is always concerning.  Then, as I was eating breakfast, the walls started to wiggle and my balance went to sh*&.  I immediately took valium and laid down.  Fortunately, it only lasted about an hour and then I was able to get up and shuffle around the rest of the day.

I called for an appointment with my OTO who, consistent with his usual m.o., was booked this week and out of town the following two.  I could have gotten in to see his proteges, but I really only want to see the Big Guy in the event an major decisions need to be considered.  Plus, as this happened a couple of times after my first gent shot, too, it just may pass and become a non-urgent issue.  I will know in the next 3 weeks if the vertigo is back in force, or not.

In the meantime, my ear is popping and gurgling.  For those with MM, you know what I mean, that deep, inner ear sloshing of fluid that cannot be seen or drained.

I continue to have high-pitched ringing in my "good" ear and the past two or three mornings it has been feeling clogged, too.  This always freaks me out, but I think this has been happening all along anytime it's evil twin is acting up.

On a side note, fascinating reading about the possible correlation between vasopressin and Meniere's Disease here.  Just about every time I get vertigo, I notice I also "diurese", to put it politely.  Besides being very annoying since just turning my head is torture, much less being able to repeatedly get up to go to the bathroom, this symptom has always baffled me and made me think there is something more systemic going on.   The observation that people with MM have increased levels of vasopressin has been documented in several studies on PubMed.

Hope, hope, hope...
