Another appt w Dr Hegarty

Finished the steroids and had a couple of good days-adequate hearing, no vertigo and little tinnitus.   Then, I didn't.  I had a whole range of those symptoms changing over the course of a day.  Very frustrated with the whole thing. 
Dr Hegarty spun the variability with some hope.   He said the fact that it varies from good to bad means that there is some repairable function.  If it ever deteriorates and doesn't come back, that's a bad thing.   The goal is to find the treatment that stabilizes my function.   The diuretic he had me on was a just a starting point, the small guns.   Now, he is starting me on the big guns-Lasix w KCL and Diamox.   I'm going to be peeing a lot.
