If only I could hear again. In October of 2012 I began having very strange symptoms, very random severe episodes of dizziness. My ears would ring loud instantly, scaring me making me jumpy. They would also have a sharp pain in them. I began noticing a difference in my hearing, and I was becoming depressed, jumping from doctor to doctor not knowing what was wrong with me. I was finally diagnosed with Menieres Disease on April 4th of 2013. In a long story short it is major fluid retention in the inner ears. My Dr. said usually people who have the disease only get it in one ear, and are in their 40's and up...its very rare for a girl my age(18) to get it..especially in both ears. So with every episode of dizziness I endure, I suffer a little more hearing loss each time. It has gotten to the point of not being able to hear a person speaking right in front of me among a crowd. Also cannot hear you at all if your head is turned away from me. I do know ASL and I can lip reading, but I long for my youthful vigor and crystal clear hearing, but im stuck in this sick body. So I put my feelings down on paper. This is my first piece of art I posted on Caedes, and I will be posting more in the near future.
