Ugh, Deena, I'm sorry.
The insurance company had denied it.
OMG, I hate that! Hubby keeps wanting to sue them for practicing medicine without a license, for second guessing the doctors.
Heh. The short-tempered but frequently awesome nurse with whom I work spent Friday afternoon yelling almost those very words at some insurance company middle management functionary. After a lengthy hold and lengthier back-and-forth about some expensive but worky drug, she yelled, "Goddamnit, you're practicing medicine without a license and I hope someone sues you...YES, YOU ARE. The doctor knows his patient and knows what works and what doesn't, and he isn't picking a drug out of a hat, and when you second-guess him and deny it you're practicing medicine. And you don't have any idea what you're doing, and you need to stop."
Bless her.
Went to the doctor, and she pulled out a ball of wax at least an inch in diameter.
I had the earwax thing when I was a kid, too. It was probably only half an inch though. The doctor used a tool that looked like eye end of a big needle. The was was a really dark color, and the ball of wax was hard.

Cheering for JZ's co-worker.
Teppy, I had a really severe case of vertigo many years back but it was pretty much like you described. It lasted over a week and I could barely turn my head without feeling nauseated. My doc gave me a Dramamine like prescription which helped a little but they could never quite figure out what caused it. It may have been viral in the inner ear. I haven't had another occurance that bad in over 10 years.
The local grocery around the corner has Pumpkin Pie flavored yogurt for 99 cents a quart.
Windsparrow is going to try some. I might, it's sugared, tho.
