It was beautiful ;)

I have T and vertigo. The vertigo just started. I did talk to my ENT today and she is prescribing Antivert to take daily. And I have the valium and promethazine for the attacks. I did find a Meniere's support forum on Facebook today. I was so relieved. Everyone in there was talking about the...

What's worse is I don't have a doctor to help me deal with this. The symptoms etc. I have my neurologist and thank God for him. He prescribes the promethazine and valium. But without an ENT or specialist and not having any support groups to talk to, I feel completely alone.

My parents live less than a mile away. I work with my brother. I do all of the bookkeeping and phones, dispatch radio, everything. It is my parent's company. They are turning it over to him. He does nothing but watches tv all day and makes three times as much as me. But he's got the grandson...

I don't know. I've tried everything. I have NO support. No one to talk to. I have a dr that doesn't know anything about Menieres, my neurologist. I got a new ENT, who is ABSOLUTELY clueless. She keeps wanting me to take tests that I've already taken for the Meniere's diagnosis. Which I got from...

Guess not

I was wondering, does anyone else who has been diagnosed with Meniere's have really bad neck pain at times? Sometimes in between episodes I have severe neck pain. It starts at the base of my skull and goes down under my ears. It hurts to even turn my head. I have tried hot and cold ice packs...

I called my primary today to call in Betahistine for me today. She called it in. I was pretty excited to get on it to help with the vertigo. I called the pharmacy to see it is ready. Not avaliable in the US :(

Trying Lipoflavonoids may be worth giving a shot. They have a tendency to work for those who have Meniere's disease. I was diagnosed a year ago and was ready to throw in the towel with anxiety over T. And I tried them and it worked. i take 2 in the morning, 2 in the evening, and 2 at lunch. Once...

I just got back from the beach! Went solo. Stayed for 4 days. Had a blast. Did have vertigo and blaring T and little H. But had a great trip. Even took a boat ride to see Dolphins. Sometimes you just gotta say, do it anyway. Fun Fun. :)

Yea mine is Meniere's related. Spent tons of money and time getting diagnosed. About two and half years later finally got the diagnosis. I do have migraines with the Menieres. I have taken several different medications, but none of them have seemed to help very much. The vertigo is pretty much...

My positivity today is my acceptance of my diagnosis of Meniere's and the fact that today isn't as bad as Sunday. And that I can manage to live life around this. It will not get the best of me. I may have to change the way I do things, but not the things that I do.

Mine did the same thing. Came and went. The T and the H for over 6 months before I got diagnosed with Meniere's. The vertigo didn't come until months later.

Thanks. I went to my ENT last week. My hearing in both ears is now affected. It may have gone bilateral. She is a new ENT. I sent over my previous records and Balance testing results. Having a hard time getting her to return my call and go over everything with me. But I am fairly certain it is...

I feel the same way. I have meniere's. And have found that valium or xanax helps. Years ago, I took benzos for anxiety for about 8 years. Getting off of them took forever. And I am scared to start using them again to control my episodes. But dramamine and xanax really knocks my attacks out. I...
