3 months!!! how horrible!!! And I thought i had it bad when i was crawing like a child and spewing my guts out if i tried to stand, and totally light sensitive, had to lie stock still in the pitch black, but for only 24 hours at a stretch.
I do hope you have found some relief. As for me my vertigo attacks stopped some years ago but my hearing is going. they want me to invest thousands in a hearing aid
Have any of you with Meniere's visited the menieres. org site and read out the treatment that JOHN OF OHIO or (JOH) has come up with.. Please do yourself a favor and check it out.. DO some research there are some who have beat the dang disease.
i am now currently 18 months post labyrinthectomy (mis spelt i know) for menieres just in my left ear, has been awful getting used to totally no hearing but the operation so far has been a roaring success with no vertigo or fog, still get very tired and get the lazy feeling but apart from that doing well, amazingly even though i have no hearing mechanism in my left ear now i still have the tinnitus in the left ear "weird"
Yeah, I'm 19 and on the verge of this diagnosis and i must admit it sounds exactly like what I feel so often. It really sucks being this way, and I've felt like this since I was 13. I would wish this upon no one. The drop attacks can be so bad.
Kristin Chenoweth has this disease, I know. She talks about how the worst thing is when an episode comes on while your performing, because you can't stop then. She says she was also very nervous that she would get one while she was floating in Glinda's bubble (In Wicked on broadway)
You can slightly control the episodes by eating less salt, though.
"Effectiveness of Acyclovir on Meniere's Syndrome III Observation of Clinical Symptoms in 301 cases," Mitsuo Shichinohe, M.D., Ph.D., The Sapporo Medical Journal, Vol. 68, No. 4-6, Cases of 301 MD patients treated with antiviral meds The results were: In 82.5% of cases diagnosed as Meniere's Disease, 85% of cases diagnosed as Meniere's Syndrome, and 89.1% of cases diagnosed as vestibular dysfunction, vertigo disappeared, and tinnitus and hearing were improved.
It's becoming common knowledge that Meniere's is caused by a viral infection and can be cured in 85%~90% of cases by taking Valtrex 1000mg three times a day or Zovirex 800mg five times a day for 4~6 weeks. These drugs are not even mentioned by most ENTs could lead many a reader to consider drastic, ineffective and irreversible surgical management which is still being pushed bymany lagging doctors.
