Thank you for your plain language explanations…I really appreciate your effort for understanding we are not all scientists but want to understand and follow along.
So true, regarding the primary care physician not understanding what this condition is like. Not just the debilitating attacks with the extreme vertigo and vomiting, but the other symptoms too. Like the near constant extreme fatigue, brain-fog, neck and head tension/aches, clumsiness, etc. when not having an attack.
@@VABreezy same case is with me. This is really pathetic and painful disease. It shatters your inner confidence and leave you in doubting situation again and again. You felt scared all the times...
I’ve noticed that if I have nightshades, lectins, seems to bring on autoimmune Inflammation and it can give me brain Zapps. I can go months without episodes. Honestly I feel diet is a massive factor.
I've had graves disease since 2007. First vertigo attack lasted 2 months after major back surgery 3 years ago and comes back if I'm stressed. Lack of sleep. Increase smoking, caffeine, or strong cheeses. Pain in neck and behind one or both ears, loss of hearing like I'm underwater or ringing in ears.
One of my friend, who was professor of ORL (ENT in English I think) passed away few weeks ago. He was obsessed (in a good way...) of the life of Prosper Menière. Thanks for the educative video of the Meniere’s Disease.
BINGO!!!!!! My Meniere's MUST be caused by CHOCOLATE. I found the most wonderful dark, low sugar CHOCOLATE, and I have been having lots of it every day. SO, I have a steel constitution...and since my hearing is very sharp, I might avoid hearing loss. My friends can have my chocolate. I never feel pressure in the ear, have no nausea. I did some exercises shown by a chiropractor on utube and the only movement of my head that made me dizzier, was when nodding. I never have headaches. One morning, when I combed my long hair, turning my head toward the floor, the room actually spun wildy enough that I held onto the doorframe, mostly my symptoms are lightheadedness, and swaying to one side or the other,
My Vertigo doesn't make the room spin, mine is a total loss of balance. I no longer have episodes, the last one I had was 10 years ago and it never went away
After 2 years of tests, and a second opinion, I was diagnosed with menieres disease 3 months ago. I've looked back, as this seemed to just come on overnight, but I have had the symptoms, but mostly passed them off as induced by stress. I've had tinnitus since the age of 12/13, when my cousin and I thought it would be fun to throw firecrackers at one another. One went off point blank in my left ear. I'm 51 now, and it's basic been there for most of my life. When it began, I thought I was having a heart attack, and was put in hospital for a few days. Turns out, the chest pains were from my anxiety. Pain, and weakness in my left arm is from a pinched nerve. I was back in emergency room 2 days after I was released. That was nearly 3 years ago. The brain fog, as was mentioned, I've had for maybe 6 years now. The spells, or episodes, I thought were stress related, as I've dealt with a fair share. It's like being sedated. My symptoms vary, but there is a normality. Most days I'm just clumsy. I have to walk slow, and precise. I have to constantly be aware of my speed. If I take just one step to fast, it hits, and I have to recover before I take another step. If I feel good, having a good day, I take as much advantage as I can, but if I don't pay attention, and get ahead of myself, I get motion sickness. On bad days I'm bedridden, with the TV playing moderately, because in quite, my tinnitus intensifies. I won't communicate with anyone, unless it's my children. They are the exception. I take Meclizine daily, and I go to physical therapy twice a week. It seems to he having an effect, but even they say nothing can be done with menieres. However, with the therapy, I do feel more confident than I did. I'm still a weeble wobble, and have episodes, but I do feel like I at ,least have a sensation, of some form of control.
For the past year or so I've been experiencing most of this. But only in the last month has it gotten to the point that I feel I need to do something about it. Just went to the Drs today. I was thinking I was diabetic or on course for a heart attack. I just started a new job and my boss is noticing the brain fog. But he thinks this is just me not caring about work or that I'm on drugs. I may lose my job. I'm also moving at the moment. My wife, mother, and siblings are directing me with tasks constantly for various reasons. And also all angry with me because of how I'm acting and the fact I think I might lose my job. I've got more stress in my life than ever at the moment. So anxiety was the drs first thought. Which I'm sure is a contributing factor. But they also cleaned my ear out today and said that I shouldn't be able to hear with the amount of wax in my ears. I've had ear nose and throat doctors recommended to me in the past for cleaning to see why this happens. It's been an issue for about 20 years. I also have some hearing loss from when I was a child. And used to hear a rushing sound that would come in waves when I would lie down at night. Also Had migraines my whole life. I'll only get them a few times a year but when I do I have to lay down for at least 12 hours. Maybe this is my problem.. Thanks for sharing.
@@SiriusDraconis I was actually diagnosed 2 months after I was approved for disability. Oddly enough it was the disability Dr that first suggested I might have menieres. It was the first time I had even heard of it. Not any other Dr mentioned it throughout those 2 years. In fact, the Doctors I was actually getting tested and treated by, ENT didn't think that I had it. It was only by my physical restrictions, that was provided by neurologist, that they approved my disability. After getting insurance, I went to a local ENT, and neurologist. After preliminary testing, the ENT Dr came into the room, gave me a pamphlet, and said, "You have menieres disease." I've heard that it is hard to diagnose. The major symptoms came full force after I was hospitalized. And it was very confusing. But after reflecting on those symptoms, as they say in hindsight, I then noticed the patern. These symptoms were misdiagnosed as stress, anxiety, and even mild strokes. If you haven't seen a neurologist, try that. I can't say what the results will be, but I did loose my job over it. You need to be diligent. It could possibly be another condition, but if the symptoms fit, odds are its probably not anything else. There is one other condition, that I can't remember, that has similar but separate symptoms. They are different enough that one can't really be confused with the other. I wish you the best, and hope things work out for you, and your family. God bless!
Same case is with me. I have been suffering with this from past 4 years and doctors and no answer to it. This is really a troublesome disease as it breaks down all your confidence due to lack of control on your own body. By god's grace I got some ayurvedic medicine which seems some positive effect.
@@choosytravells I've been taking Meclizine for three years now. It helps. It doesn't get rid of the symptoms, but it was a nightmare without it. I had two steroid shots in my ear last month. It helped some, but no considerable change. It's enough to be noticeable, so I'd say it was a good choice. God bless!

I was diagnosed with menieres, and I’m back to thinking it’s the wrong diagnosis. My condition has not worsened. There was a peak a few years ago when I kept having episodes of extreme sound distortion, which made everyone sound robotic. That stopped after I cut out all the foods my doctors told me to stop eating, including caffeine and peanuts. I don’t have tinnitus, but I have always had issues hearing, but it fluctuates. Sometimes my hearing is perfect in both ears. I know because prior to covid I was tested every three months. And of course I can tell when my hearing is perfect and when it’s not. My hearing loss is only affects one ear, but it’s high frequency instead of low. All of my other symptoms could just be allergy related. I’ve had scans and countless tests, and this was the best they could come with. I’m going to ask my doctor to send me to a new specialist.

@@mademsoisellerhapsody Great to hear it helped you too! I did atlas orthogonal which used a device to make the adjustment but you barely even feel it. All the methods seem to work just have to make sure the person doing it knows their stuff.
I have drop attacks and while I do not lose consciousness, from standing to hitting the ground is one massive blur and leaves you confused and dazed in a way that is hard to understand what just happened. Every time I hit the ground my first thought is "Wtf just happened" then the pain sets in because it is always painful. You slam into the ground. Unlike when I fall from losing my balance, I know I am falling and can brace myself, try to catch myself, cushion the fall, etc. Drop attack you just slam down to the ground.
This is a bit long but May be valuable to some of you. I was diagnosed shortly after a car accident 10 years ago. After 3 years it went into remission then it came back with a vengeance in 2019. I went to see an ENT and he told me about a series of shots that he could inject into my ear. I believe it was called an Intratympanic steroid injection. It had to be mixed up at a compound pharmacy. I received a total of 12 of these shots, one every week. After that I also had a medical procedure performed in a hospital where the ENT put a piece of cloth soaked in this same liquid (I think) and was left there to slowly dissolve. I was put under for this procedure. I did not have any pain afterwards. Before each shot he injected a numbing agent and the needle was very thin so it was not painful. As soon as the liquid enters the ear, I did experience a wave of vertigo but it passed within 10-15 min. They left me in the room on a slightly reclining chair and turned out the lights while I waited for the vertigo to pass. Afterwards I was able to drive myself home. I did have a little dizziness during the same day, but it was minimal. The effects are supposed to last around 18 months, and I’ve only had a few episodes since that time. It has only been recently that I’ve started having more frequent episodes, but still nothing compared to the number I was having before I had the shots. The tinnitus also went away and has not come back. I was also experiencing a weird fluttering sensation before these shots that felt like a moth was trapped in my ear which, as you can imagine, was absolutely maddening. This also stopped after the shots. I cannot guarantee this will work for everyone, and it is likely I will need to have them done again in the next year or so, but if you suffer from this then I would definitely recommend talking to your ENT. I also discovered during a visit to the ER when this first came back that Valium helps with the Vertigo. It doesn’t prevent it, but it seems to lessen the severity, at least for me. I only take it when I have vertigo as I want it to work when I need it to, and the most I have ever taken is 2 5mg pills in one day. Maybe it just allows me to rest while the vertigo passes, but whatever it does it definitely helps. I hope this helps some of you. I know how miserable this is and I feel for anyone who is having to deal with this. 😢
@@evanneacquaviva8753 I had some hearing loss in my right ear, and still do but it hasn’t gotten any worse. The ringing/buzzing did stop, thank god. I am sensitive to certain frequencies still though, but nothing extreme.
Thank you! My boyfriend just went completely deaf in his left ear after a sneeze attack but they’re saying it’s not related. Originally they thought it may be a tumor but after some testing today it appears he has Ménière’s. we were hesitant about the slicing eardrum open to inject steroids but his vertigo is getting so bad he had to go to the hospital today. This just happened on Saturday for the first time.
@@evanneacquaviva8753 ask about the injections first. Maybe they will help. I had to do 12, one a week. So far I’m still doing good. Only occasional bouts of vertigo. Usually brought on by changes in barometric pressure. Also cut back on salt intake. That can make it worse.
I have been suffering from Meniere's for last 3 years. Have constant ringing ie tinnitus 24hours a day. Unpredictable Vertigo attacks almost every week for 2 years and it lasted for hours , had to go hospital for stemetil vaccine very frequently. I ruined my everyday life. Last month I was bound to bed for whole month due to daily episodes of vertigo, had to go to hospital almost daily. Thats when my ENT suggested surgery . I had Labyrynthectomy last month and after a month my vertigo attacks have stopped. Its to soon to say but my ENT says that vertigo will stop now. Though tinnitus is present and hearing in my affected ear is lost but relief from vertigo was our main motive. I am suffering from balance problem in walking after surgery but my ENT says it will recover as soon as other ear alone will take over the role of balance the body. Hoping that it may be the end of this dreadful disease and life become normal again. I suggest to get surgery if hearing in affected ear is beyond service.
I have had every symptom. Starting with a horrible vertigo attack that lasted over a day. Now I have tinnitus and occasional vertigo and queasiness, especially when it is raining or about to rain. The fullness in the ear and it sounds like cotton stuffed inside which comes and goes. It is super annoying. I do not seem to have thyroid, liver, kidney problems. I was approx 36 years when I had the first attack. Im 50 now and the tinnitus and occasional hearing loss is progressive. Wonder if there is treatment. Oh well I see people in much worse shape so I just sort of shuffle along while I still can.
I'm 23 I have had 3 vertigo attacks that are really bad and believe I have this :/ I feel like my ears are full and I get ringing plus nausea, vomiting, involuntary eye movements and more it's so bad I vomit constantly when these attacks happen I constantly feel dizzy and more it's crazy
@@FreeNuggetsHere- Sorry to hear that. That is very similar to my experience. It gets better and then returns. I have Phenergan and Meclizine that I keep with me to fight nausea if it hits. I have problems when storms come rolling in and the pressure changes. I have ringing and "fullness" and/or liquid sensations constantly. oh well, thinking about which sign language to learn first
@@FreeNuggetsHere- I'm much older than you and have MD too. I now realize I've had it for decades, but with episodes not being as intense and frequent as they currently are. I always attributed them to food poisoning, but realize now that I couldn't have had food poisoning that often (over the years). I believe I managed so well in my early years through maintaining a healthy diet for the most part. I now eat very healthy. The first thing the ENT specialist said when I was diagnosed was you must eat a healthy diet, no processed foods, limit salt, and watch for any food that may start an attack off and then don't eat that food. For instance, I know chocolate causes problems for me. Good luck to you.
I recently went to an ENT due to having a hearing loss event (sometimes with loud ringing) in my left ear that occurs every 3 days or so and lasts for about 24hrs each time. I also have tinnitus which has been going on for years... The doctor thinks it might be Meniere's disease but I am not having the attacks of vertigo so commonly associated with it. The doctor told me to try a low sodium diet but didn't have much else to say other than there are some medications that mainly treat the vertigo symptoms. I'm at a loss and not sure what else to do.
This sounds almost exactly like how I was diagnosed/treated recently. I am in the process of taking steroids both by mouth and ear injection. There is a chance that may help with the hearing loss but hopefully, you can get help to treat this further!
@@ChaiLatte13 oh sorry to hear that. My doc says its an infection as well, but he prescribed me Betahistine, anti-allergy pills and antibiotics. I'm confused as I have these symptoms as well. Did your doc prescribe you betahistine?

That's exactly how I feeling and that's terrible. But I think mine is more meniere's syndrome. I have thyroid problems too and have thyroid surgery 32 years ago.
I'm not feeling terrible, but sometimes I just get sudden ear fulness (that's mild) and it just goes away magically and re-appears after some months. It's not eustachian dysfunction too.

I've been diagnosed with menierres in 1987,the symptoms are getting worse.... I've tried everything I can think of.. Any advice? I'm 64 years old. I avoid sodium, caffeine, chocolates etc, the vertigo, vomiting is becoming increasingly worse. I'm getting an attack almost every day now... I do not wish this disease on anyone
I had my first attack in 1993. My ear nose and throat doctor told me to keep the sodium to 1000 mg per day. I have and it has prevented many attacks. I know when I'm on the verge of an attack so I cut back on the sodium. Its very annoying, especially the vertigo.

I can never thank you enough Dr Ogbebor for all your services, I am now completely cured of Tinnitus after using your medication, you're truly a man of honor and words I am so happy I came across your channel on CZcams..
I don`t live within 20 miles of an ocean but I hear it all the time. over time it had gotten louder, no diseiness butI have headaches a lot. But than ,I have PTSD really bad and I hear my heart beat also. Dr. Young sort of discribed it in one of his things on u-tube . When I was in Vietnam, there was a bouncy Betty that went off 15 ft from where I was and the only thing that saved me is a dump truck was between us. But the sound of it going off put me to my knees and couldn`t really hear what was being said after that. it was all mumble jumble, So when you are talking on one side , the sound doesn`t have enough time to get to the other ear,
I have NEVER had dizziness before an ENT used a vacuum to clear wax from my ears. I was referred for my throat zenkers! Seems every time a doctor touches me they do damage to me. I trusted an oncologist who said radiation was perfectly safe I wanted lacrimal gland removed he insisted “that’s not how we deal with this” His safe radiation made me legally blind, lost all my teeth they were reduced to putty and also caused melted mylan on trigeminal nerve. 5 surgeries done on external cranium. Not until surgeon went in saw the melted ganglion pond! With my babies I was delivering fine doctors in hurry fir his Christmas dinner he cut my vag and flesh between anus and vag. He yanked the placenta out and I hemmorhaged massively and needed DNC. 2nd baby I was taken to hospital for miscarry but docs chose to butcher me open when baby heart stopped I was screaming NO don’t cut me!! Patient has no rights.

yeah for me I absolutely cannot lay on my back or it triggers instant vertigo. I wake up with bad vertigo every morning and I theorize that it is because I was on my back at some point and started getting dizzy and by the time it wakes me up, the room is spinning, I am sick, brain fog, and most times with a really bad headache. It is like having a terrible hangover without the alcohol.
Anyone can help me please I am 25 year old I am suffering dizziness alomost 1 year gone , I have migraine headache also it is started in childhood till now I am suffering 2 or 3 days in week continuously.Nurologist opinion is from migraine headache is cause for my dizziness but I can not believe that, because without migraine headache also I am feeling dizzy .ENT doctor says both ears are normal they even not know reason for dizziness. My symptoms is dizziness like feel like off Balance ,when I am sit on stool it feel like off Balance sensation and some time tingling in head. Here one recent it's about 15 days my left ear is buzz sound and feeling like ear is block.I think this ear buzz sound happens due headphone usage Please anyone specialist please help me
hellooo! any update? we have the same situation. Hope u feel better soon. I also feel the same way being out of balance and like a blockage in the ears. Hope to hear an update from you!

@@mademsoisellerhapsody Great to hear it helped you too! I did atlas orthogonal which used a device to make the adjustment but you barely even feel it. All the methods seem to work just have to make sure the person doing it knows their stuff.
I have drop attacks and while I do not lose consciousness, from standing to hitting the ground is one massive blur and leaves you confused and dazed in a way that is hard to understand what just happened. Every time I hit the ground my first thought is "Wtf just happened" then the pain sets in because it is always painful. You slam into the ground. Unlike when I fall from losing my balance, I know I am falling and can brace myself, try to catch myself, cushion the fall, etc. Drop attack you just slam down to the ground.
Informative. Just diagnosed with Meniere’s today. Scared and yet relieved to know what I’ve been experiencing has a name.
How.? I am facing this for last four months
what help did you get ? i am suffering from unilateral menieres syndrome.
Any one can rocover? Im in meriene 2 year ago
This is a bit long but May be valuable to some of you.
I was diagnosed shortly after a car accident 10 years ago.
After 3 years it went into remission then it came back with a vengeance in 2019.
I went to see an ENT and he told me about a series of shots that he could inject into my ear. I believe it was called an Intratympanic steroid injection. It had to be mixed up at a compound pharmacy.
I received a total of 12 of these shots, one every week.
After that I also had a medical procedure performed in a hospital where the ENT put a piece of cloth soaked in this same liquid (I think) and was left there to slowly dissolve. I was put under for this procedure. I did not have any pain afterwards.
Before each shot he injected a numbing agent and the needle was very thin so it was not painful.
As soon as the liquid enters the ear, I did experience a wave of vertigo but it passed within 10-15 min. They left me in the room on a slightly reclining chair and turned out the lights while I waited for the vertigo to pass.
Afterwards I was able to drive myself home.
I did have a little dizziness during the same day, but it was minimal.
The effects are supposed to last around 18 months, and I’ve only had a few episodes since that time.
It has only been recently that I’ve started having more frequent episodes, but still nothing compared to the number I was having before I had the shots.
The tinnitus also went away and has not come back. I was also experiencing a weird fluttering sensation before these shots that felt like a moth was trapped in my ear which, as you can imagine, was absolutely maddening. This also stopped after the shots.
I cannot guarantee this will work for everyone, and it is likely I will need to have them done again in the next year or so, but if you suffer from this then I would definitely recommend talking to your ENT.
I also discovered during a visit to the ER when this first came back that Valium helps with the Vertigo.
It doesn’t prevent it, but it seems to lessen the severity, at least for me.
I only take it when I have vertigo as I want it to work when I need it to, and the most I have ever taken is 2 5mg pills in one day.
Maybe it just allows me to rest while the vertigo passes, but whatever it does it definitely helps.
I hope this helps some of you. I know how miserable this is and I feel for anyone who is having to deal with this. 😢
Did you lose your hearing? If so, did the injections help with restoring it?
@@evanneacquaviva8753 I had some hearing loss in my right ear, and still do but it hasn’t gotten any worse.
The ringing/buzzing did stop, thank god.
I am sensitive to certain frequencies still though, but nothing extreme.
Thank you! My boyfriend just went completely deaf in his left ear after a sneeze attack but they’re saying it’s not related. Originally they thought it may be a tumor but after some testing today it appears he has Ménière’s. we were hesitant about the slicing eardrum open to inject steroids but his vertigo is getting so bad he had to go to the hospital today. This just happened on Saturday for the first time.
@@evanneacquaviva8753 ask about the injections first. Maybe they will help.
I had to do 12, one a week. So far I’m still doing good. Only occasional bouts of vertigo. Usually brought on by changes in barometric pressure.
Also cut back on salt intake. That can make it worse.
I have been suffering from Meniere's for last 3 years. Have constant ringing ie tinnitus 24hours a day. Unpredictable Vertigo attacks almost every week for 2 years and it lasted for hours , had to go hospital for stemetil vaccine very frequently. I ruined my everyday life. Last month I was bound to bed for whole month due to daily episodes of vertigo, had to go to hospital almost daily. Thats when my ENT suggested surgery . I had Labyrynthectomy last month and after a month my vertigo attacks have stopped. Its to soon to say but my ENT says that vertigo will stop now. Though tinnitus is present and hearing in my affected ear is lost but relief from vertigo was our main motive. I am suffering from balance problem in walking after surgery but my ENT says it will recover as soon as other ear alone will take over the role of balance the body. Hoping that it may be the end of this dreadful disease and life become normal again. I suggest to get surgery if hearing in affected ear is beyond service.
I have had every symptom. Starting with a horrible vertigo attack that lasted over a day. Now I have tinnitus and occasional vertigo and queasiness, especially when it is raining or about to rain. The fullness in the ear and it sounds like cotton stuffed inside which comes and goes. It is super annoying. I do not seem to have thyroid, liver, kidney problems. I was approx 36 years when I had the first attack. Im 50 now and the tinnitus and occasional hearing loss is progressive. Wonder if there is treatment. Oh well I see people in much worse shape so I just sort of shuffle along while I still can.
I'm 23 I have had 3 vertigo attacks that are really bad and believe I have this :/ I feel like my ears are full and I get ringing plus nausea, vomiting, involuntary eye movements and more it's so bad I vomit constantly when these attacks happen I constantly feel dizzy and more it's crazy
@@FreeNuggetsHere- Sorry to hear that. That is very similar to my experience. It gets better and then returns. I have Phenergan and Meclizine that I keep with me to fight nausea if it hits. I have problems when storms come rolling in and the pressure changes. I have ringing and "fullness" and/or liquid sensations constantly. oh well, thinking about which sign language to learn first
@@FreeNuggetsHere- I'm much older than you and have MD too. I now realize I've had it for decades, but with episodes not being as intense and frequent as they currently are. I always attributed them to food poisoning, but realize now that I couldn't have had food poisoning that often (over the years). I believe I managed so well in my early years through maintaining a healthy diet for the most part. I now eat very healthy. The first thing the ENT specialist said when I was diagnosed was you must eat a healthy diet, no processed foods, limit salt, and watch for any food that may start an attack off and then don't eat that food. For instance, I know chocolate causes problems for me. Good luck to you.
@@willp9226 Yes , choclate ,salt and food that make water retention in body
I recently went to an ENT due to having a hearing loss event (sometimes with loud ringing) in my left ear that occurs every 3 days or so and lasts for about 24hrs each time. I also have tinnitus which has been going on for years... The doctor thinks it might be Meniere's disease but I am not having the attacks of vertigo so commonly associated with it. The doctor told me to try a low sodium diet but didn't have much else to say other than there are some medications that mainly treat the vertigo symptoms. I'm at a loss and not sure what else to do.
This sounds almost exactly like how I was diagnosed/treated recently. I am in the process of taking steroids both by mouth and ear injection. There is a chance that may help with the hearing loss but hopefully, you can get help to treat this further!
Yep this sounds about right. Doctors have not been helpful for me either.
Does anyone know if I have fluid leaking from my ear from time to
Time and
Get light headed early it could be the disease?

I had an ear infection in the summer of 2019 and it basically left me with the symptoms of Meniere's in that ear.
Did those symptoms go away once the infection was healed? Please reply.
@@Suha_Chakravorty Sadly no. I'm still dealing with vertigo and my ear gets clogged about 2-3 days a week, sometimes more.
@@ChaiLatte13 oh sorry to hear that. My doc says its an infection as well, but he prescribed me Betahistine, anti-allergy pills and antibiotics. I'm confused as I have these symptoms as well. Did your doc prescribe you betahistine?
@@Suha_Chakravorty My doctors have not been helpful in any way. I take over the counter meclizine on days with vertigo.
@@ChaiLatte13 thank you for the informations! Get well sooner ❤❤❤❤
Suffered the last 19 years. The brain jolts suck. The noise in my left ear never goes away. Sounds like the ocean. Had to stop driving two years ago.
Hello!
I have had this for over 20 years. My attacks last days, weeks to months. I heard that it burns itself out. Is this true. I am so tired of this.
Thank you for this excellent video explaining Meniere's.
I was diagnosed at the age of 9.
Mine flares up every time I move houses due to stress.

That's exactly how I feeling and that's terrible. But I think mine is more meniere's syndrome. I have thyroid problems too and have thyroid surgery 32 years ago.
I'm not feeling terrible, but sometimes I just get sudden ear fulness (that's mild) and it just goes away magically and re-appears after some months. It's not eustachian dysfunction too.
i am suffering from unilateral menieres syndrome.

I've been diagnosed with menierres in 1987,the symptoms are getting worse.... I've tried everything I can think of.. Any advice? I'm 64 years old. I avoid sodium, caffeine, chocolates etc, the vertigo, vomiting is becoming increasingly worse. I'm getting an attack almost every day now... I do not wish this disease on anyone
I'm so sorry. 😢 This is a disease that truly needs a ton of research.
Does your ENT suggest gentamicin or a labrythectomy ? ( sp) ?
I had my first attack in 1993. My ear nose and throat doctor told me to keep the sodium to 1000 mg per day. I have and it has prevented many attacks. I know when I'm on the verge of an attack so I cut back on the sodium. Its very annoying, especially the vertigo.
Hello i got meriene too! Can i have some question for you? I live in vietnam and dont have method to recover meriene, in your country do you have methol to fix it? And recover forever?
My ear is extremely painful. Hurts to chew. Anyone else have this kind of pain?
Does your jaw make any clicking sounds. TMJ can make it painful to chew and it causes me bad earaches.
Treatment?
Surgery
My sister has this. I on the other hand am epileptic
I suffered meniere's disease almost 12 years. I'm helpless upon attack is these disease curable? And my balance are affected also.

new drug called spi-1005 is under clinical trial now
Having a steroid injection next week in my ear that went deaf which will hopefully reduce the vertigo ...day 5 of this current attack .
Ive had vertigo for 7 weeks now. It normally doesn’t last this long usually no longer than 3 weeks.
My tinnitus came 1st b4 my menieres disease. 😊
I can never thank you enough Dr Ogbebor for all your services, I am now completely cured of Tinnitus after using your medication, you're truly a man of honor and words I am so happy I came across your channel on CZcams..
What medication did u use?
@@joey4star152 i used an herbal ear drop from dr Liam ogbebor on CZcams
Damn, til this day I’ve never heard anyone pronounce tinnitus as tin-a-duss😂💀
I don`t live within 20 miles of an ocean but I hear it all the time. over time it had gotten louder, no diseiness butI have headaches a lot. But than ,I have PTSD really bad and I hear my heart beat also. Dr. Young sort of discribed it in one of his things on u-tube . When I was in Vietnam, there was a bouncy Betty that went off 15 ft from where I was and the only thing that saved me is a dump truck was between us. But the sound of it going off put me to my knees and couldn`t really hear what was being said after that. it was all mumble jumble, So when you are talking on one side , the sound doesn`t have enough time to get to the other ear,
Do need surgery

Got rid of the constant buzzing in my ears after using the treatment from Liam ogbebor on CZcams
I have NEVER had dizziness before an ENT used a vacuum to clear wax from my ears. I was referred for my throat zenkers! Seems every time a doctor touches me they do damage to me. I trusted an oncologist who said radiation was perfectly safe I wanted lacrimal gland removed he insisted “that’s not how we deal with this” His safe radiation made me legally blind, lost all my teeth they were reduced to putty and also caused melted mylan on trigeminal nerve. 5 surgeries done on external cranium. Not until surgeon went in saw the melted ganglion pond! With my babies I was delivering fine doctors in hurry fir his Christmas dinner he cut my vag and flesh between anus and vag. He yanked the placenta out and I hemmorhaged massively and needed DNC. 2nd baby I was taken to hospital for miscarry but docs chose to butcher me open when baby heart stopped I was screaming NO don’t cut me!! Patient has no rights.
After all the years of having Menieres diseases and constant ear ringing , it is nice to sit in a quiet restaurant without anything bothering me. Even the fullness in the bad ear is hardly noticeable. And the constant ear ringing is gone..Took 4weeks thanks Dr Liam Ogbebor Herbal centre CZcams channel for the tinnitus program and herbal ear drop treatment and I hope it stops for everyone else sooner.-;;:

Lying down brings it on
yeah for me I absolutely cannot lay on my back or it triggers instant vertigo. I wake up with bad vertigo every morning and I theorize that it is because I was on my back at some point and started getting dizzy and by the time it wakes me up, the room is spinning, I am sick, brain fog, and most times with a really bad headache. It is like having a terrible hangover without the alcohol.
100million things associated with this disease
Shame on you scam bots in the comments
