Glad you got a diagnosis. Not knowing is a *itch. Hopefully you'll get more clarification soon on the tumor.
So sorry about the job. Praying that the vertigo gets better.

Oh laura, I'm so sorry. But your post actually shook me up and take notice because I've recently had a severe case of vertigo that lasted all day and made me unable to eat or drink, walk, everything. I've had a MRI for migraines, and thankfully, my brain is still working OK. But I thank you for the vital information.
Although I lost my job due to 9/11 and had to go on disability for my severe spinal problems, I turned into a caretaker for my parents and now my 97 y.o uncle. I think I've found my true calling. Hopefully, after more surgery, I'll be able to work again and may go back to school. It's a thought. Life does deal you ups and downs, but one step UP the ladder after each adversity is a great start.
Please take care of yourself. Health is always the most important thing.
Hugs. :love::love::love:
K9karen- Keep a close watch on your vertigo! You have migraines, now you know it can induce Migraine Associated Vertigo and there is a treatment for that! Also, do you watch your diet? if you are not sure what to avoid, I will pm you the list if you need it. This has gone on with me since June and I am a perfect example of how bad it can get and how long it can go on! (I am in my 7th month of it!!! :eek:)
I have taken that medicine the doctor gave me for 3 nights now and it has made a world of difference! BIG change in how I am feeling.. I spent the day at Pet Smart yesterday for Adoption Day. For the first time in a long time, the light in the store did not bother me at all, I wasn't constantly fighting to keep my balance and there was absolutely NO nausea at all! For the first time in ages, I feel NORMAL again.... I still live with the fear of the dizziness hitting when I least expect it and still remain cautious of how I move but this is the best I have felt in such a long time!! GOD, It feels SO good to feel good again! Those little pills are MAGIC! (and I HATE taking pills!)
There ARE good meds out there and good doctors...glad you seem to have both, Laura!
Laura, it is a lot to take in, but it's good you know what's going on and you can take it from there. I know you loved your job and I'm sorry you're losing it, but you will soon get involved in something else.
So glad to hear you're feeling normal again, just hope those magic pills doesn't have any side effects.
Take care! Best wishes and hugs. :love:

I am so glad you have something that's working for you.
lizbud-Sure it is Clonazepam.. Another adoption day at Pet Smart and no nausea, the lights still didn't bother me, no off balance and no headaches. Just some mild dizziness... However I am beginning to feel some tightening in my head but it is time for my 1/2 pill...
Yesterday did not wear me out like it usually does spending the day at Pet Smart for adoption day.. This is the first time I have been able to do 2 days in a row and I can't tell you how great that feels!
Laura, I'm so glad to hear that the medication is working for you.:) I hope you continue to feel better and better.:)
Laura, that's such great news that the medication is working so well. I'm so happy for you!
