Actually, the Meniere's came first (about 4 years ago). Woke up one morning and I couldn't hear out of my left ear (It was blocked). Then I started getting vertigo really bad, about 2 to 3 times a week. I had several tests including a balance test, numerous hearing tests and have had steroid injections in my ear to help with vertigo. Then I had a gentamicin shot two years ago and that has really helped alot. It has really minimized my vertigo attacks to the point where I really don't get vertigo any more, I just get little moments of dizziness but nothing severe. I take meclizine and valium for the vertigo. About 2 years ago I noticed numbness, tingling and burning in both my feet. I thought it was arthritis (I was naive in not knowing it was something else). About a month ago a friend told me about her sister having neuropathy and having the same symptoms. About 3 weeks ago, Ironically enough, I started having alot of pain in my right foot. Up until that point there was no pain, just the tingling and numbness and burning and feeling like I have a boot on even when barefoot. My PCP sent me to a Neurologist and she diagnosed me with the Neuropathy. I have to go back next month to have an EMG and blood work done. That is about it I guess. I know this is long but it's complicated for sure. I will check out the Sticky notes to see what info I can gather. Thanks so much for your inquiry. |
