Well after 3yrs and 9mths I now have a rare complication of a rare condition. I thought I would escape having another medically disasterous year but I have been hearing "you would have to be really unlucky for that to happen, it's so rare"! Well almost ever symptom has returned and I have just completed a week of Valtrex antivirals and Prednisolone. A day after finishing the antivirals I have the ear pain full on and now a couple more of the old symptoms coming back, mild disequilibrium and mild nausea.
