About
Menieres Disease
First, I am NOT a doctor, I have Meniere's
Disease. It started with a vertigo/drop attack in 1989, no warning at
all. The doctor could not figure out the problem and dismissed
it as an ear infection. The next several years I had a few minor
dizzy spells, but nothing that I went to see the doctor about.
The next major attack occurred in 1995. Very bad vertigo lasting
hours. Went to another doctor and was told that I had Labrynthitis, was prescribed meclizine and valium. The on and
off dizzy spells continued. In 2002 a constant ringing started
in my right ear. I finally went to an ENT and, after ten years, was officially
diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. I was immediately prescribed a
diuretic. Within 4 days I had one of my most violent attacks
ever. I discontinued the diuretic. After a lot of research on
the internet, I am discovering that there are many treatments to
reduce the symptoms. I have also discovered that everyone is
different and one treatment may work for you, but not me.
Someone may state B-Complex vitamins helped them, 50 people may go
out and buy the B-Complex and 10 will come back and say it helped and
40 may say it didn't do a thing. They only thing one can do is
try different things and see what works for them.
The purpose of this site is to inform people
with Meniere's Disease available treatments and possible help to
alleviate the symptoms of Meniere's. The site is also designed
for convenience. The suggested supplements may have links to
online stores so that you may purchase them directly. This saves
you time and money and also helps support this site for Meniere's
awareness. As always, you should check with your doctor
before starting any supplements or medications. This site is
for informational purposes only.
This site also contains helpful links to learn
more about the disease and help you meet others with Meniere's.
The goal of the site is to help others with Meniere's, promote
