Not the wine.
Not the mushrooms.
Not the wheat.
Not the yeast.
Not the Vitamin B.
Not gluten.
It's all in my head.
A small acoustic neuroma that may need to be removed surgically.
If I don't have the surgery, I could permanently lose the hearing in that ear.
If I don't have the surgery, I could be dizzy and have ear pain.
Said surgery could permanently destroy the nerve in my face that allows me to smile.
Personally, I'd rather be deaf in that ear.

Hear Hear
Those of you who have been paying attention to my Facebook since December will possibly recall that I have been having issues with loss of hearing and a ringing in my left ear. I have been to an ENT specialist, an acupuncturist and a chiropractor, all of whom gave me drugs, both synthetic and natural, some of whom poked me, cracked me and adjusted me, all in vain to get the ringing to stop and my hearing to improve.
I have been adding new (sometimes disgusting) foods, and avoiding others (favorites.) I have quit drinking coffee, black teas, milk, soda pop and fruit juice, beer and wine. None of which made a lick of difference.
Today, I finally had the MRI. I went in thinking, ok, at least let's rule out something.
You know you are in trouble when your doctor calls the afternoon of your MRI to have you "come in and talk about the results"
More tomorrow.
