I was able to get into the see my doctor’s Nurse Practitioner this afternoon.  I now know my issue could be several things–an inner ear infection (I do have some fluid in one ear), vertigo, or something more serious.  They took some blood, I peed in a cup and they are scheduling me for a brain MRI because of my family history.  I was run through a litany of coordination tests and physical tests and passed w/flying colors and none of the test triggered any of my symptoms (which makes vertigo unlikely but still possible).

One of the problems is that I have symptoms of many thing but not all symptoms of anything.  I am an enigma of science.  I am hopeful that it is something mild and minor but won’t rest easy until I have my brain scan and all my synapses are where they are supposed to be and all my arteries and veins look awesome.  Until then,  I will take my medicine for the ear infection and the vertigo and hope that maybe it is that simple.

But if I have learned anything in life it is that things are not simple.
