That Prime Rib was good yesterday... not so much today

Had a thick piece of prime rib at Dorn's last night.  Nice rosemary bark on it.  An au jus on the side that tasted pretty salty.  Scalloped potatoes and horseradish.     It was tasty.
this morning, felt like a bit of a hangover.   slight nausea and the telltale head spinning.   Not enough to send me to bed but it was there.   Took an extra diuretic and washed it out with lots of H2O.
The symptoms only lasted a few hours.     Freakin Sodium.   You are the enemy.

Freaking Tinnitus

No vertigo symptoms for a while. Tinnitus getting more frequent and louder. I believe that my hearing is diminishing too. I judge that at work. I have been losing comprehension of speech among the noise. My left ear is nearly dead.
I have made an appt w the hearing aid center when I get back from visiting mom (5 days). He plans on a hearing test rather than going on the ones my doc gives me. I hope that it will be a simple adjustment to the levels on the device.
Still no word from HR regarding my ADA assistance.
Have figured out the salt restriction thing. If I try to push the margin, I spend a day or two feeling ill. Haven't had the debilitating vomiting and vertigo but just feel pukey. I have managed to find some decent replacements for the normal tasty food that is killer for me. Mrs Dash is great!
