    Hi Marie,

    Surviving, barely. Currently on a night dose of oral steroids and weekly injections to try and recover my hearing. I try to keep a positive attitude, there is always someone worse off.

    Travis, I hope the steroids help and the side effects aren't too bad. Has the surgery decreased the vertigo over the past month?

    I have not had any full rotational vertigo since my surgery, but I had gone 5 months without full vertigo before the surgery. It is 4 weeks since surgery and all my symptoms are worse. Hoping in another month I will not be able to say that.

    Hi Tess,

    After a round of a high dose of steroids most of my hearing came back to pre surgery levels. However it is stil not good. I have not any full rotational vertigo attacks since surgery, but have had a few minor slow movement. I still have very loud tinnitus and feel ‘sea sick’ most of the time. But I am remaining hopeful.

    This disease is very humbling.
