Dizziness foggy head and slight nausea but not an attack

Posted , 8 users are following.

Hi members does anyone experience dizziness foggy head and slight nausea quite often that does not become an attack. Just constantly there a lot of my days. I'm beginning to overdo the Stemetil I think. Anyone else experience this and if so what remedy do you use. Thanks

    Hello Maria,

    It's Gentamicin steroid injection thst is given by making a tiny hole in the inner ear drum and then releasing the steroid injection. Destroys inner ear cells to help with Vertigo, balance and Meniere's....The Otorologist said some patients need this about 4 or more times to see a difference...for some is after the 1st injection. So far I haven't had alot of luck as the dizzinessreduces a week after and then I get the same fullness of ear and brain fogged /dizziness and loud noises in my ear. I requested a break as I was getting them every week and it was wearing me down.....So my next one now is May 9.

    Wish you all the best Maria:-)

      Thanks Reena. I had a procedure a few years ago which involved steroids inserted through eardrum but I didn't have Menieres at the time. They tried this procedure because I had sudden hearing loss. The procedure didn't work and I'm left with the perforated ear drum, Menieres D, tinnitus Fullness in that ear. I wish I never had it. They also are hesitant to fix my perforated eardrum as my specialist said it will not make any difference to Menieres or hearing or any of other symptoms.
