    It took three years to get a diagnosis of Menieres--2017 to 2020

    It's been 5 years since I had caffinated coffee.
    It's been 7 years since I shook a salt shaker.
    It's been one day since I stopped decaf coffee.

    I began having severe vertigo last week. 3 very strong episodes, what I scale as 8 out of 10, 10 being a drop attack. Yes, that's just what it sounds like--no warning, no spinning or tilting--just down.

    2 of them happened while I was driving. It really SUCKS and is very scary because even trying to get to the side of the road seems impossible when everything is sliding and tilting and moving up and down.
    One other was milder.

    This week one severe (again while driving!) and three small episodes.

    I had been free of it for
    nearly two full years, after an injection into my right ear drum.

    I'm not fucking around with it. I called my doctor and am scheduling a second injection---the risk is deafness on that ear, whech already can't hear. Th eprevious injection caused no drum tissue damage, so it's worth it for me.

    End of my pissing and moaning. I am very grateful for medicare and secondary insurance.

  2. As I progress in age, I have come to the realisation that I require a mug of #coffee in the morning before my day can start. During my younger days I would wonder at those whose day could not start without #caffine. O how time catches up with us all. #Aging #Thoughts #Life

  3. Right now I can't buy the #Sodastream brand of diet cola online. Even their own website is sold out. #Amazon & #Target are out.
    The Walmart online limit is 2.
    I got a few locally in SF at #Staples via #Instacart, but the limit was 3.
    Their #DietCola syrup formulation is the best #caffine delivery system for me. It doesn't make me jittery or angry & DOESN'T have aspartame.
    Are they trying to boost local sales? I'm thinking the shortage is based on a sales deal with #Pepsi. Anyone know?

    At the doctor's office going over lab work.

    Doctor: I had them run this again, but it appears your blood is 1/3 caffeine?

    Me, putting down my iced coffee: Really! And?
