Granny's gone and done it again

We'll, I went in for BVD testing. . I have it. Now..I have a very smart eye Dr. I had told him the medication that I'm trying now. Amitriptyline. Told him I'm noticing .. better days..with the amount that I've worked up to. After telling me about the prism glasses.. and cost 😳 .. around 1,000 dollars, he asks me to do some considering before I decide. Since I'm seeing some improvement with the medication, why not give it a month while I'm working up to full dose to see how I feel. Says maybe I'll decide I don't need the glasses. One important fact of getting them ordered.. He says there is no guarantee that they will work..for me. He's had some patients put them on and go..wow! Others taking a few weeks or a couple of months, others, not working for them at all. So before I go spend a grand on glasses, see how the meds are working first. I can do that. Especially since it's started to work some. I guess I'll know in a few more weeks. I can tell you one thing about the testing too. It sure left me with eye pain, clear across from temple to temple. And, way dizzy after. I just went home and relaxed. Whew, what a journey this Vestibular thing is. Yes, Vestibular Migraines are associated with BVD..or is it the other way around? Anyway, they are found together often. Now I want to go to a hearing specialist. I still have to wonder if I have Menieres. Maybe he'll finally order a CT Scan. No one has looked at my inner ears. An MRI almost three years ago. Been a while. This ringing in my ears is insane! Plus I'm losing more hearing in my left ear. So..one side.

Yes, i have hearing loss in my right ear. Dr. says i have Menieres too. Keep losing my balance, and ear ringing. The steroids are helping me, i planned to take them at night but took it this morning without thinking.

well (insert bad word here) Will your insurance pay for any on the glasses? Is there a pair floating around out there somewhere you could try?
