Well, I had tests on my inner ear Friday to check for damage. I have damage in my right inner ear, but not in my left. The ENT thinks it is related to whatever caused the right-sided eye drooping, but isn't sure of the cause. He doesn't think it is ototoxicity from plaquenil though because it isn't in both ears and typically if it is med related, it would effect both ears! I saw the neurologist who is doing tests for APS and something else neurological that causes the body to fatigue in a major way. I was in so much pain by the time I'd reached the neurologist's office that day, I started to cry when she asked me questions. I've done that a couple of times in docs offices over the past few weeks and it's something I'd never done before. I guess I'm THAT overwhelmed! I found out this week, my employer's long term disability plan discontinued my payments starting this week. My neurologist and other docs will help me file an appeal, but I'm not sure how to pay my bills until then. I'm so scared about this. To top off my week, my son wound up in the hospital Friday night. I am not sure how much more I can take.
