Small discovery that encourages me that the root cause of my ongoing problems is in my ear: I just had a cold, and while recovering from the cold I was stuffy and congested for a couple of days; they were the best days I've had since I hit my head. Balance and equilibrium were noticeably better. I was comfortably staying awake longer and even had a bit of an appetite.

This encourages me that I'm on the right path in pursuing middle/inner ear problems. Is there ANY other explanation?

Waiting to hear back from an ENT who will review my previous CT scan looking for SCD, and arrange a new scan if the old one isn't detailed enough.

Aside from SCD, are there other things that the ENT should be looking for?

Thanks!
