Hello, I'm also an MD. Please search for my posts... I also did it myself... It helped me a lot. You just have to dilute it and do it very slow.

In both cases the pressure affect the cells that control balance so when you move your head fast enough can trigger diziness Just as bppv because your inner ear semi circular Canals now are under pressure ..

Hydrops Will respond very well to Acetozolamide. If you try one pill and feel better... Then its hydrops . It can develop to Meniere its the same illness Just in two different stages It depends on how strong shows on you because Meniere its Just an advanced case of hydrops ..

Hi Bill, I think nobody knows the real answer about how soon the therapy will be ineffective as the lesions are different in each person its impossible to give only one answer. But in neurological lesions of the inner ear, we have plenty of them here in Chile because of the divers work hunting...

Very expensive , in the chamber here they are charging like USD 60 about 100minutes , we use it primarily for diabetes complications , but we have another "experimental one" that we go inside near the medical center , and another little one that its for two patients . This one attached is the...

Please , can you describe at how many ATAs where your sessions ?

Im working in the field now , of HBOT and have access to the chambers . In my humble opinion I think more sessions can lead to a better result in more time . Does anybody know of a study , for example doing 2 seesions weekly 6-8 months or one ear ?? Are you planning more session DiveMaster ?

hello , thanks for the information this is very intersting . Do you have the source article , like the original one ? thank you very much !!

Hi all, I'm doing a postgraduate course of HBOT, I've been working now on HBOT, I will be honored to answer questions about the therapy, let me know anything. I will be glad if I can help :) Best regards from Chile!

yes , my case bad luck , always had care with my ears because I love classical music , indeed I dislike amplified music so I had always been to live acoustic shows playing classical .

well now he doesn´t need it :-(

don´t bother . Its human nature . it´s called "human stupidity" and its infinity like Mr Einstein said .

Hi Ed209, just to let you know, one of my best mates have the condition same as yours!! I met him as a swimmer we never saw him different !! i remember he use to tell us about how good the excersise of lap swimming was to him, so just to let you know how things were from the outside .

excellent !!!

Gena , VNG is too look up into your eyes if they move while having vertigo , so if they move in an horizontal way its just a sign of the severity of the dizziness , if you spin youll get eye movement for shure . If you feel like in a boat its dizziness if you spin its vertigo . Sometimes a Virus...

hey Gena94 , I had it , please feel free to ask me anything !!

I know one patient that got tinnitus over her pregnancy and she said last like 1 year more . Then it settle so low that she did not hear it unless she is in complete silcence , so never mind . In pregancy you havo to avoid just the drugs we use in T , unless youre very , very anxious , I...

hi ! , its very difficult to say "is this diagnosis or that one" , impossible indeed . Also notice that the applications for general use are not calibrated so cannot be trusted as an exact tool , but can give some idea . And also the meaurements will change , during the morning first time , or...

back to my old self

try Amitriptilyne for good sleeping , start as low as 12mg qhs or 10mg qhs , don´t know the minimun dose in US , but will make you sleep very good and wake up in a good mood . the key is take this 12hours before waking up . It will modulate your response also to T , but T will still be there...

ohhh I see , about betahistine ,.. Ive found this study about menieres and virus anyway find it interesting , dont know what really to think . https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25940200

Dom , ive found this video very informative about inner ear problems , please have a look at it

it is my understanding that fluctuation on hearing represents fluctuations on inner ear pressure like some problem in reabsortion. so coming from almost deaff to fluctuations represents reabsortion is working, but this is so slow process itS difficult to get a clear diagnosis. betahistine will...

also look at your lipids also ive seen it correlates with strong history of allergies. keep allergies away if in doubt make an IgE total to rule out allergies

.... meniere its called when you have vertigo, if not its calledhydrops, itt might look like hydrops or the early stage of meniere, the inner ear is very slow to show things, an ecog will show you inner ear pressure, a good idea is start betahistine minimum 48mg day, what does your...

hi Debin , las week a meet a young patient who told me she had this type writer T very strong for two years , she is 25 , then she told me it was gone completely after two years , but now she is having vertigo . but the T went completely away !! so yes although nobody knows why , T might go away...

... hello Im an MD also , ask for ECOG test , will measure the impedance of the cochlea , from outside . Its shows the pressure inside , so if its more than certain number , dont remember , like 30% ? and has a certain pulse , means hydrops .. any way , I meet a patient who recently had sshl ...

how are you Ian , I know this is a slow healing process , how are you feeling ?

Im very happy for you Ian !! God bless you !! Im so sorry i didnt know all that you've been through . Tom Cnyc , an Electrocochleography (ECoG) is the Gold Standard to make the diagnosis of Hydrops .

yeah when you see textbook hydrops or any other textbook pathology , theres no need to be doctor to make the diagnosis its very easy . dont let this put you down , just look for Neurotologist and let us know how are you doing .

... mario, give youre ears a long rest, buy some protection and use it while feeling "in danger zone " this means near baby's cry, power tools etc. the inner ear is very slowly to settledown so use this habbit to protect for ayear or more just use it while on danger zone...

excercice is proven to get serotonin and in general all neurotransmitters up .

ahhh also my audigram shows good hearing on right ear and in left ear the 6khz and 8khz are in -18dB and all the rest normal. i started steroids two days after T im shure if ive started steroids the same day of the dizzyness would have save completely my left ear. do you have any idea of what...

... yes it went away but lasted like 6 months, well very dizzy, true vertigo only 2 times. I saw a neurotologist he said vestibular neuritis and if ive got T, its called labertynthitis. he said to me "the dizzyness will last 6 to 8 months" prescribe me serc for 3 months minimum after the acute...

hello there Ian , well .. I got T because of damn virus inside my vestibular system also same as you , I've got Vestibular neuritis . I still remember the 6th day when I was dizzy and suddenly I felt like something inside my ear move and then ... "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"

I dont know if you've done , but ask for tonal audiometry . look into the mid and low frequencies if you've got hearing loss lets say , below 5khz and in general your high frequency are okey for your age , one must think "hydrops" . Having a contrasted MRI study from inner ear , we call it...

Thank you Michael , I was a triathlete back ago , went to med school , so this thing will not beat me , im going through this even though Ill have to crawl to reach the pool again and self build endorphins to come out . ill send all my strength to the community

... i feel sad , like my life was taken over young . at 38 years old . Ive never been a depressive person , until last year my every day life was ; swimming 3km , cycling 2 hours training , enjoy life at its full , nature , I builded up hand crafted hifi equipment , have an electronic lab at my...

PS: Im a doctor also , but im here as sufferer and to give my direct experience of the real world and try to help as much as possible . Other thing I try was one that inhibits noradrenaline and serotonin , this give me more energy but also my T spikes . If you go to GP nothing wrong , but he...

Hello , I try sertraline , but spikes my T . Although It makes me dont care for it , it spikes it . So I have to suspend the use of it . I guess not everyone will have the same reaction . I think one has to try because many persons feels a little different on it , but in general it helps mood .

Hello all, it's been a little while since my last post, but I read all the time. These last four days I was having a little more powerful spike until today when it became really bad. I had to use Lidocaine again to calm down the spike. It calmed like 70% of it. I also had to take Clotiazepam...

sending all my strength from the south of the planet (Chile) , hang on there a little more and keep us updated .

hi bb , im also a Doctor , the only steroid that worked for me (oral) , was dexametasona 4mg or 8mg day the first few days . then 20 days of metilprednisolona . The first days you need high dose to reach the cochlea seems that dexa is potent enough or betametasona also . predinosona will not...

mine was caused by a viral infection on the balance system that went a little down to the cochlea . left ear . its not so bad now . but i love music and one of my favorite parts of musical instruments was the silence between some notes . Audiometry shows a little notch in the 4khz region and...

Hello tinnitus sufferers. I injected Licocaine into myself. Let me tell my story first. I work in the ER service, on the 5 of August 2015, I was working and suddenly felt that somebody pulled me backwards. It was very strange. I thought it was because I had swum too much and didn't eat...

make sure you used potent ones , dexametasona or betametasona . Sometimes when given prednisone its not enough power . may I ask you which steroid you use ?

mainly on physical findings . very simmple ; you feel sometimes your ears clogged and making valsalva make it dissapear but then returns ? this , during the last few days or weeks . if yes . then probably youve got it . try steroids . no need for image tests .

by the way ,betahistine is very , very secure . can take large doses no problem , but has to take minimum 24mg three times a days and like 4 months , this is better medicine for menieres desease . im my opinion infection or trauma must use steroids first . just my opinion . We have betahistine...

I have used betahistina , and have a little experience , will work ok when circulatory problems are in the innear ear , but it has to be taken , at least 3 or 4 months and high doses , at least 24mg tid . It is known to be a good "constructor" for the inner ear problems , but imagine your ear...

I came from the wolrd of audio . and Medicine . In audio I build sound equipmente by hand (DIY) I have an electronic lab at my apt :) a Doctor also , have studied electronics also . Thys type of aproach , I dont know (I think no ) if it can work jut because simple tinnitus is like "imagination"...

ana is a marker for inmmune desease . but consider it only one letter . you have to have a full word to make a diagnosis . so . only a letter means nothing . Hope I make my self clear . :-)

I think its very good aproach the one youre ENT did . how bad is your dizziness ?

real indication for mri is little , but many docs ask them to see everythings is ok , it wont hurt you like CT , because CT has radiation . So if you can , why not . unless is too expensive or insurance dont cover . :-)

try oral corticoids . dexametasone . is very effective , but has to try it several days , sometimes one month or more on and on and off basics .

hello , depends on the severity , some times last weeks , months , years . but in general no one can say "it will last this or that time"

hello , one thing , when one has too many health issues , It is good to solve each one , like step by step , if not its very difficult to focus , impossible to solve all with one thing . I will first treat allergy . Have to have IgE total value for seeing if allergy cells are up to the sky . If...

it can be related of course to stress . when this happens , no traetmenet is as effective as sleeping . but any way . please make complete blood tests . in general have a look a thyroid hormones (all) . insulin resistance , fasting glucose , and very important cortisal (morning and evening...

ill try this . large doses . over 100mg day , because I had free access to it . 3-4 months didn't help with my T . but if you're dizzy , it helps with that .
