Docs say since they did not find stroke, tumors and other assorted nastiness, I should be back to normal in anywhere between two days to two weeks. Well, two weeks is not good enough, I want to ride!

Has anybody experienced anything like this?

I too have Meniere's disease, which combines vertigo and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). Fortunately it is quite mild and doesn't affect my biking or hearing, although eventually it might progress to become a nuisance.
