Thanks Holy. Having read the symptoms more closely, I had a number of anomalous manifestations I shared with my doc well before going deaf. He disregarded lymes and sent me home, multiple times. I am more "peeved" at that incompetence right now!
Oh I totally understand how you feel, I have lupus and knew something was up but my Dr sent me home too (3 times) six weeks later my kidneys started to fail! That was 4 years ago and I'm still not over it
sorry to hear about your lupus; a very dear friends wife had lupus. She managed to have a transplant and now has her life back.
I have to go see the surgery ASAP to get on antibiotics before doing a 12 week intravenous antibiotic schedule apparently. I got he need over the phone so I expect more data when I finally meet face to face.
I dont know yet Holy, though I share your concern...Imguess they are going to napalm my gut biome - spent hundreds cultivating it over the past 12 months!
