It's getting to a point where I want to stop going to doctors as
all I am getting is bad news. I just got back from the ear, nose and throat
specialist having gone there because I thought my ear was stopped up, possibly
with wax, but no it isn't as simple as that.
It seems I may have neurological nerve damage to both my throat
and right ear. She knew before I even told her that my voice has changed and
that my appetite has diminished.
The doctor is now in the process of setting me up for lab tests,
CT scan of brain, mastdids thru neck, larynx, w/contrast, voice tone, hearing
test, cbc w/diff and a few other things listed that I can't read.
After another sleepless night I wasn't ready to hear this nor am
I ready to handle it. I didn't think I would turn out to be such a wimp in my
'golden years' so along with everything else I am very disappointed in myself.
I really don't know where to turn, what to do or what to
decide--I am getting on the phone right now and seeing when I can meet with the
psychiatrist and maybe, if not get answers, got some guidance.
