I was diagnosed with Meneires in 2010. I was having frequent episodes of vertigo prior to this. I always shrugged it off as something else like the flu. But when I had my first major episode that left me unable to walk or even move for weeks, I knew it was something else. As it turns out, my doctors determined I had developed this disease as a result of severe head trauma from a motorcycle accident in 2001. My skull was crushed and I sustained a skull fracture along with blog clots in my right eat. For the years that followed the accident I did notice increased background noise and poor coordination. This was getting worse over time and because I went 9 years without treating this condition... I suffered a major attack. Now I have episodes monthly. Ranging from mild to severe. I rate mild as ringing, sea sick feeling and nausea. This is most common. Moderate is painful ringing, feeling like flu without fever, vomiting, headache and pressure in my eat like water from swimming. This occurs occasionally usally every couple months. Stress and other illness usually coinside. Severe is ... Out of control tumbling nothing is stable. Deafining roar in my ear making it hard to hear anything else. Vomiting, loss of fine muscle control, blurred vision. Wiered headache like brain being stretched diagnolly. Most all of the time I loose control of bladder and bowels. I usually lay helpless on floor until either my wife or children find me. Most I have been incapacitated is 5hrs. I experience this a couple times a year. Usually around season change.
Because of my illness I have developed secondary illness ulcers in esophagus and gerd.
