Labyrinthitis

So early last night I was doing research for a project and I guess I had never wiki-ed lupus before (oddly enough). And not that I’m suggesting that Wikipedia is the end all, be all of information, but…

Well, well, well.

I was looking at the symptoms they listed for lupus and…

BOOM!

Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED).

What the heck is that, you ask? That’s what I wondered too…

BANG!

Labyrinthitis.

Okay, I guess that’s not much clearer.

Well, it’s the very thing that I was told caused my episode of vertigo nearly two years ago.

Now the pieces are starting to fit together.

Apparently, AIED is very, very rare, as in an incidence rate of less than 1%.

But nothing about this experience has been typical. Then again, it never is.

I know I’ve been obsessed with this, but I knew that it was related somehow.

So, what to do with this information? I guess it’s mine for posterities sake!

I, the ever-defiant detective, solves the mystery… again!
