Does any one have experience with meniere's disease?

I am being tested for this. I am concerned. I fyou have it did it get worse before it got better? Did you lose hearing? Do you have tinnitus? Does it get louder? Did you have an ENG ? Did that induce an episode of vertigo? Can you tel if you are going to have an episode of vertigo? Does diet and exercise hep? How iften do you get vert. and how has it affected your life?

I am also a life long sufferer of Migraines and have read there may be a connection. Do you get migraines as well?

There seems to be a link between migraine and Meniere's disease. Food triggers are known to cause migraine attacks in some people. A similar trigger may contribute to some attacks of Meniere's disease. For example, cutting out caffeine (found in tea, coffee, cola, and chocolate) and alcohol may be worth trying.

I add a link that contains further links with which to further your knowledge regarding Meniere鈥檚 disease.

I see that you are really quite apprehensive-so many things going on in your mind. It's understandable but I suppose the best thing to do is trust your doctors and have them explain to you in full what is wrong with you and get the cure. Then you won't have to ask here.

Meniere's disease is an inner ear disorder that produces vertigo, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, and tinnitus. There is no diagnostic test. Vertigo and nausea are treated with anticholinergics or benzodiazepines. Diuretics and a low-salt diet may decrease frequency and severity of episodes. For severe cases, the vestibular system can be ablated with topical gentamicin or surgery.
