The doctor prescribed it to me. I took 50 mg per days for a few days, then 25mg for a few more days, then 12.5... If I remember correct, it was for like 10-14 days total.

Prednisone. 50 mg pills. From memory, it had a better effect on 'me' when taken overnight, along with some sleeping pills...

That was a long time ago... I did take some cortisone and it helped a lot. I eventually got my 'normal' audition back, but that ear has always been more fragile since then. A few months later, I had to take a very large dose of antibiotics (to treat a possible Lyme disease), and after like 1...

Yes, I've ruled out that possibility with time! ;)

@Jkph75 I too have an unxplained white spot in my brain (only one spot though, on the right part of my corpus callosum) visible at MRI. They found it and monitored that for 6 years now and it doesn't grow, so they rule out MS at the moment. But this is still unexplained... Have you or your...

I'm under 3g of Valtrex daily since ~ 10 days. I "think" I'm starting to feel a bit better... Never really had vertigo (only a few seconds long episodes at various times of my life) but a lot of Ts since 6 years, high and low pitches, and a full feeling + endolymphatic hydrops in my right ear...

@Margus Thanks for the follow-up; I might ask my doctor to try this med...

@Coyotesheaven That's very interesting... That is exactly my problem too! I'm known for low white cells (~ 3) and platelets (~ 80 000) for 20 years now. Doctors just can't find the cause, and believe me, I've been tested through out! Let me know what you find please, we can work this...

@Coyotesheaven I stoped any Lyme antibiotics treatment. After my sudden hearing loss, I was so afraid that I decided to stop everything for a while. I took a lot of prednisone during many months and it didn't trigger or aggravated any Lyme symptoms (while it is supposed to), so who knows if...

Sounds familiar yes, but I had my sudden hearing lost around 3 weeks after I started the treatment, and I was at that moment under 300mg Doxy + 3000mg Amoxi as well. My naturopath was clear regarding this treatment when I started: don't go too fast! And if something bad is going on, stop...

Hi, I'm curious to have more info and opinions about Nicergoline / Sermion. Any regular users here that could comment?

Barrett, I'm very sorry for your problems, and I sincerely hope you’ll get better in the next weeks. Foam ear plugs are normally for single time use. Never clean them with alcohol (or even water) or they lose their properties anyway. Wash your hands before touching them. I'm not sure if it's a...

I'm in the process of trying that: http://www.menieresfoundation.org/johnsregimen.htm You might want to contact the guy as he updated his regimen... I hope it will work for both you and I... Best of luck.

@danni1979 , ask for anti anxiety meds like Xanax. Use it for a SHORT period in order to take control. Then I would suggest you try a diuretic med... Good luck.

100mg per day?
