2 1/2 weeks until surgery & as crazy as it seems I can't wait. I just want my life back. I don't drive anymore b/c the spells hit me so hard & fast now it just doesn't seem safe. My last trip was when I drove 3 miles and my husband had to come pick me up because I could barely walk & talk much less drive. I was fine when I left the house. I am starting to feel like a prisoner in my own house & my own body. I try to work from home & my brain doesn't want to cooperate. I am killing my GPA in college because I just cant handle the load with all of the pain and other issues I am dealing with. Thanks for listening to me vent. I am going to try to get some work done now although I really want to do is lay down & pull the covers over my head. ---

Talk to your professors and explain what is going on. If yours are as understanding as mine were they'll give you extra time. Just take your time. ---

Hi, I hear you. I was so sooo happy when my I saw my NS and he said he could operate in 2 weeks. I was so ill everyday and getting worse, so after about a year of being told I had menieres and to deal with it cause this is your life now, there was light at the end of the tunnel. I am now 6 months post op and way better, not totally cured but also not spewing into a bucket everyday with the room spinning. I hope everything goes well for you and you too improve after your surgery. Angie
