The vertigo begins

About a month ago I had an expensive and drawn out experience in the ER.  It did rule out Big Bad Things.  Like stroke.  But I felt a little foolish the entire time, as I was in a pediatric facility.


It just so happens I had already scheduled an appointment with my regular doc the following Monday.  She took one look at my medical record and said  "Well, looks like you had the Million Dollar Work-up".  And that was true - they ordered everything under the sun.  But as my nurse said,  "you're already here and you made us pretty nervous."  Of course, my doc was not concerned with my symptoms.  So, now I have head and eye exercises, as well as "habituation exercise" to do daily, an incidental referral to an ortho doc for my tennis elbow, and I guess a little more piece of mind, with no extra pills to swallow.
