Today, Brian went the Emergency Room because the ALS clinic said his massive, room spinning vertigo attacks starting last night might be a stroke.
Well, we spent four hours there and no stroke, no heart attack but they seem to think he has inner ear issues. He was referred to an ENT but we are not going to bother with the actual one he was referred to due to being told they would "call him in seven to ten days to schedule an appointment". I have experience with another one I loved who accepts Medicare.
Brian also has some nausea and "crickets" in the ears. They did a CT scan, blood work, etc. Movements seem to set it off, and it comes in spells. Brian takes Rilutek but everyone is swearing it's not a med side effect. They are giving him motion sickness pills for now.
Anyone else have experience with this?
