Treatment update
We spoke about 2 months ago, and I have good news on my new treatment. The meds did not work. I was reluctant to have anyone drill or inject anything into my head. I did an extensive blood test and discovered that I was reacting to yeast, tomatoes, and mushrooms in my diet. I completely eliminated them for the last two months. I am excited to say that my episodes are very infrequent, maybe a mild one once a month. I used to have severe episodes of vertigo once or twice a week. I plan to continue on this diet, perhaps introducing some bread (yeast) and some tomatoes back into my diet to see how I react. The mushrooms are definitely out.
The Insurance Co did qualify me with Long Term Disability. I believe the FAA wants 6 months to a year of no meds and no episodes to get back onto the flight deck.
