Hello. I am a new member of this group which I only discovered today. I have had MD in my right ear for around 25 years and am really worried that it is moving to my other ear as well as I am getting tinnitus in the left side as well. If this happens, will I have to go through the first and second stages if the disease again? I am so down about this and don't know what to do about work. I am currently off work again as I feel nauseous and dizzy every day and can't even cope with the journey to work, let alone a full day at my desk. I am 59 and would retire if I could afford to as the stress of not knowing how to handle my situation is tying me in knots. Any advice would be welcome.

    Hi Angela,I take beta histine16 mg x 3 a day,one Dr said to take a water pill, the other said no.Unfortunately because I am sick so often,I then get even more dehydrated with the water pill so I stopped taking it anyway.I also take an anti depressant because this whole situation makes me quite miserable.If I get a good day then I feel really positive until the next bout. one of my worst symptoms is the juddering eyes,it makes me feel nauseous and very unstable.AS I have said previously, I have little confidence in the ENT docs, I have even paid privately but no one could diagnose anything even though I have classical Ménière's symptoms.

      Hello there. You are having a hard time and I can relate to all you say. I am not surprised you are on antidepressants. I hope things improve for us all soon.
