      do you experience a bit of dizziness? is this what is called "vertigo"??

      I'm still in need of all the tests and whatnot, so I am not exactly sure what conditions are associated with hyperacusis. I know H is a symptom and not the underlying condition. I hope what's going on with me isn't something worse than the H. I'm currently experiencing fatigue, dizziness, and one pupil is constricted. and I'm getting headaches again.

      I have a msg in with my doc. I see audiologist tomorrow.

      I got a reply from my doc. He is recommending a neurologist. The neurologist's clinical interests are Parkinson's, stroke, and dementia. No mention of H or T.

      I think neurotologist is the way to go. I don't need referrals, and was thinking maybe just finding my own.

      thoughts?

      ophthalmologists don't do MRIs and stuff like that.

      why would you lean towards neurologist and not neurotologist? Seems that the neurotologist would specialize in ear and eye issues more.

      lol

      I didn't mean to say "opthalmologists don't do MRIs"... meant to say I don't think they do.

      I have my audiology followup today. and I have a msg in with my son's audiologist (knowledgeable about H and T and all sorts of interesting ear stuff!). I'll find out more.

      gotta run!

      geez... had one small laugh with my mom and I immediately had a dizzy spell. It hasn't gone away and that was 1.5 hrs ago.

      I called to see if I could get in to see neurologist and they are booking out to April. I said I can't wait that long.... I'm in crisis mode. (diff size pupils, headaches, dizzy, H....)

      I'll be going to the ER. I'm going to rest a bit and see if that'll help the dizzy subside until tomorrow. I'm so dang tired!! I have no ride at the moment anyway. I'd have to call an ambulance.

      As far I as know, vertigo, is not associated with hyperacusis. It's probably just fluid in the ear. Speaking of mothers, my mother recently had a bout of vertigo from fluid in the ear.
