Good job taking care of yourself! You don't have a good, knowledgeable friend or relative you can take along to back you up? My stepsister nearly became a nurse (my niece did) but the studying did her in. However she was so close that it was very helpful when she was dealing with the doctors in my stepmother's behalf, my stepmother being senile.

Have you figured out the heartbeat/Venlafaxine suspicion problem? My asthma meds raise my blood pressure numbers and I have a problem with getting my blood pressure taken that my doctor and I have to do work arounds for.

I had exact symptoms for Meniere's but the ENT said it wasn't "real" Meniere's. I'm sorry, falling over and throwing up randomly, nystagmus, it was all enough for me, make it stop! He didn't, recommended I take seasick pills the rest of my life, "in case".

Keep on them, Charlie, until you get answers you like.
