Meniere's treatments?


Has anyone with Meniere's disease used Serc or intralymphatic steroid injections as a treatment for the vertigo/imbalance? Any problems/side effects? Also, after 6 years no two docs can agree on a diagnosis (Inner ear or Migraine variant). Due to have another round of vestibular testing next week. Any suggestions? Have episodes of vertigo, mostly feel like I am going to fall when I am sitting. Blurred vision, sometimes headache. Have had a few 'drop attacks' in the past. Feels like a baloon in my head being inflated.

My husband has been suffering with Meniere's for about ten years now. I have never heard of these injections. He takes a prescribed water pill, avoids caffeine and salt, and when he has an attack he takes valium. It only takes one to get him through it and then he is always very tired and sleeps for a very long time.
I am sorry I can't answer your question, but I wish you luck.
