Managing symptoms

Another trip, another exercise in diet control.   Flew out to NM to see Adam graduate from college.  Requested that the party food include something unsalted for me.  I think I did pretty well and made good choices.  Still, Sunday I was feeling a little dizziness, not anything disabling but more like I was starting to get a bug.  Decided to use the Meclizine.  I still had some trip to go and didn't want the symptoms to progress any further.  Monday & Tuesday, I noticed my hearing wasn't up to par.   Flushed out with lots of water, as usual.
Still have a couple of weeks before the insurance kicks in.  It will be weeks after that when I will be able to get into an ENT for my first visit here in SLO.     Hanging on.    Drinking a couple of liters a day to keep the Na always flushing out.

Dizziness

Had some intervals of vertigo yesterday. They only lasted a few seconds but came & went all day. No nausea, just a quick spin and then I was able to get it under control. Drank a lot of extra water and flushed. Improved by the end of the day and no symptoms today.
