Well, I have returned from Pittsburgh, and it sure is nice to be getting around a little bit on my own two feet for the first in almost two months. After horrific testing within a centrifuge for over an hour, and many other tests that are hard to recall thereafter, there are new findings of a venous angioma, IgE levels above 500, and only 3 percent function within my left ear. So far, the team of doctors from UPMC have a diagnosis of the autoimmune disease Menieres, that is co-existing and feeding to the neurological disease form of basilar artery migraines. Although they are in hopes of getting the neurological disease controlled within two weeks to allow me to go to college, I will still battle the Menieres. With new medical technology, treatments for living with Menieres are coming out everyday for different forms, and soon, I know one will show up for me.

Thank you very much, to all of you......... for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. It was a joy to find this thread when I returned.

God Bless,
Ashley
