I'm going back for a series of rather involved tests in a few weeks. 
Unfortunately, there is a lead time in getting health insurance, and 
when it actually goes into effect, so I have to tough it out for a while 
yet. I have for years, so a few weeks I can deal with. Luckily, the 
sizeable cost of insurance is offset somewhat by a raise I received at 
work this week.

A few tests my doctor did perform indicate there is a problem of some 
kind with my right inner ear. Which is the one which experiences sort of 
low-frequency tinnitus at times, sometimes when the vertigo is on the 
way. These symptoms, at least, are consistent with Meniere's syndrome. 
But there are many more tests to be done to be certain.

Thanks for the helpful and kind comments, Horace. That at least makes me 
feel a bit better in itself.
