Saw Dr. Myerson today. He's the rhumetologist. He did a thorough history on Mom and looked her over. Tested her strength, listened to her vitals.... He pronounced her amazingly healthy and well recovered from her 2008 ordeal.
He too said her dizziness is from Positional Vertigo and said we should get a referral from Dr. Cantwell for an occupational and physical therapist. They can help get the "rocks" in between the semicircular canals reorganized (the cause of the vertigo). He explained that the rocks don't move as well between the 3 canals as they do when we are young, hence, the dizzy sensation. These rocks can be moved via therapy so this gives us a new mission in the New Year.
Regarding her hands, he gave her some meds to try out that won't interfer with the coumadin. If they work we can get a prescription, if they don't it hasn't cost anything for the samples.
