Does anyone out there have meniere's disease? |
I may be diagnosed with it soon and I would like to hear from someone out there who has it, what's it's like, what it causes, etc. I've never even heard of it before. Thanks! Yes and I just got over a wicked attack on Thursday. Talk about room spins! Luckily with some Valium and Meclizine we were able to calm it down. My Mom had it for years. I don't know what causes it. She would have sudden bouts of vertigo (dizziness and nausea) where all she could do was lay down and keep her eyes shut. She had ringing in her ears and hearing loss but she did not become deaf. Luckily she did not have them very often and would only last a day or two. She had some medication for it but I don't remember what it was. meniere's disease is a condition that effects the hearing. there is a triad that is used to diagnose meniere's the signs and symptoms are vertigo ( a feeling of the room spinning ), tinnitus ( which is a ringing sensation in the ears ), and sensory hearing loss. when someone has these symptoms it is more than likely going to be meniere's. there is no cure for it unfortunately, but it only effects one side. My mother and sister have it. My mother kept falling onto the floor and said just leave me there until the world quits spinning. Then she would get some sleep. You should watch salt intake. At one time, she did take some meds. Watch exhaustion or being real tired. Yes, I have Meniere's Disease, though we tend to call it Syndrome as disease makes it sounds as though it could be contagious, and it isn't. I have been in remission for quite sometime now. I take betahistine (Serc) tablets for it, though I have taken Stugeron and Stemetil in the past....doc wants me to take three a day but I only take them when I feel the need for them now, as I don't want to rely on them forever. I had my first attack when I was around seven, although nobody realised what it was till I was about 13 because children aren't supposed to get Meniere's! At that time I was getting around four or five severe attacks a week. |
