Where have I been?

Hi. First let me just profusely aplogize for not being around lately. I have been going through a lot, and life has just been crazy. Here's a little snippet of what has happened to me in the last week or so...
I have been in the hospital since Wednesday night (10/08/08). I was at church, doing what I normally do, and all of a sudden I felt like there was this huge weight just keeping me down, like it was pushing me over. I made it as far as one of the offices, and I fell first to my knees, then all the way down to the floor. From what I understand (cause my memory about this is foggy) I passed out or something. Anyway, long story short, I have to see a specialist in Ann Arbor. And, because of this dizziness and lack of balance I am having, I am pretty much forced to use a walker. I am stubborn, as most of you already know, and this is going to be REALLY hard for me to get used to, but as they said, this is only temporary until they can figure out how to fix me. Right now their diagnosis is something called Meniere's disease. Not sure exactly what it is, but when I know- I will tell you.I just wanted to thank those that sent me well wishes via im, or emailed, or those of you who came to visit me. I appreciate it so much. It was soooo boring laying in that bed, not able to do anything.It was horrible!So now, I have to make an appointment to see another specalist in Ann Arbor, MI. This is just a horrible experience for me alltogether.I am just glad to be home!!

So I am finally back home, and this walker thing is a struggle because of the fact that I live in a mobile home. I am sooooo frustrated, and so I am hoping to maybe take my frustrations out on some scrapping!! That is my hope, anyway.
Unfortunatly, I have not had a chance to do anything with Melanie's CT yet, but I will be getting to that soon! Also, I might also throw in some quick pages from Holly over at freebie vault.

OK, well I better get going and get ready to go to the doctors office. Yay. How fun (aren't I just dripping with enthusiasm? lol)

I promise not to stay away so long!

Hi Dawn,

I am sorry about your struggles with Meniere's disease. You may find some relief from Lipo-Flavonoid, a nutritional supplement created by an ear, nose and throat doctor (ENT)that contains a special blend of vitamins that promotes ear health and microcirculation of the inner ear. It was specially developed to relieve the symptoms of Meniere's disease which include ringing in the ear, dizziness and loss of hearing. ENT's have been recommending Lipo-Flavonoid for treating tinnitus symptoms since the 60's and many report 7 out of 10 patients show an improvement with tinnitus symptoms after taking it as directed. As any sufferer knows, any improvement is good, however, not all tinnitus patients will have improvement. The popular doctor-columnist Dr. Peter Gott has recommended Lipo-Flavonoid http://www.statesboroherald.com/news/archive/13741/

Because you are in the early stages of your diagnosis, ask your doctor about Lipo-Flavonoid before you try it. Also, there is a lot more information about Lipo-Flavonoid at www.stopearringing.com

Good luck to you.
The Lipo-Flavonoid Team
