I would like to hear from anyone who suffers from Menieres disease. ..their syptoms medication etc ....as I have been diagnosed
Can find tons of info on it just Google menieres. Frequent bouts of vertigo, dizzy alot. It affects everyone a little different. Some take meclazine and it helps. Did nothing for me. Depending where you live there's a list of meds. I take low dose diazepam helps a little. Diuretics help most ppl. Did nothing for me. Doc started inner tympanic gentamicin injections. Some get steroids.
Whoo Bill! Gentamicin!
Have you already lost your hearing due to the Ménière's? I know someone like you will be up on all the possible side-effects. I guess this is just a measure of how desperate you are. I hope it goes well for you.
I had some hearing loss from menieres. That's one of the issues with it. The gentamicin if done right has little impact on hearing. So far, after 2 injections, my hearing has not changed. If you had vertigo spells several times a day and dizzy 24/7 for a year and a half, after dealing with these issues 6 months a year for 11 years already, you get so you will try anything. What's it going to do effect my balance? Severe dizziness for 11 years has done that already.
Goodness I'm so sorry you have suffered all that time.....I'm only in my 3rd year...and even then it's not all the time ...it seems to go on holiday. ..but then comes back with a vengeance! !!@
