    Hi Sandra I have the flu vaccine every year and have never known it to trigger an attack. Maybe coincedence? As we all know the attacks can happen at any time. For me I went 4 years without an attack then had a particularly stressful situation happen that I believe triggered it again. Fortunately it seems to have calmed down again now. Hope you feel better soon. x

    I have had Meniere's for many years, have had flu shots for about 7 years and have not had vertigo attacks in response to them.  But, each of us is different so there is no way of knowing for sure.  I'm sorry this has happened to you and I hope you feel much better soon.  Take good care of yourself.

    Some flu vaccines contain the following.-Phenoxyethanol is an anti-bacterial agent being used as a replacement for the preservative Thimerosal (mercury). It’s considered a very toxic material that could cause a boatload of side effects, including behavioral disorders … vomiting … diarrhea … visual disturbances … convulsions … rapid heart rate … central nervous system disorders … depression … kidney, liver and blood disorders … and reproductive defects.

    Hi Sandra, like you I was clear for nearly a couple of years, then out of the blue it started again, all this time I continued taking betahistine, then I read on this forum that cinnazine was more effective, so I went to my GP and got the cinnazine, it actually says on the box its for MD, fingers crossed etc, its kept it at bay so far, have you tried these?

    Vaccinations like the flu jab have been known to make you unwell after. Not everyone of course.  Usually the strains they give you are from flu viruses from previous years. The vaccine contain mercury which is harmful to the body despite what they say. To heal yourself take Vitamin d 5,000 iu drink honey lemon and ginger take ginkgo supplements. Cut down on process foods and drink plenty of water.

    Hi Sandra. I don't usually get the flu shot but I have the herpes virus and when I start getting a little sick, I get a breakout of fever blisters and I get vertigo sensations and symptoms. I don't think doctors know much about Menier's. Many years ago when I had a full blown attack of vertigo, I read many research findings and one that said there is connection between the herpes virus and BPPV and any inner ear nerve related conditions. Do some research and don't get the flu shot anymore. I'm sorry you're having problems. Lots of luck
