Do you have headache too?

Hi Jackie I've had menieres for a few years now and most days I have headaches which I take a pain killer for which tends to help. Also when having an attack I tend to take motion sickness tablets these tend to stop some of the sickness too.

Hi Jackie. My husband was diagnosed 3 years ago. He suffers from headaches most of the time too. He can tell now when an episode is approaching as the fullness in his ear increases and the tinnitus notches up as well. Most of the time he can manage his headaches with painkillers but sometimes he has to go to bed to sleep it off. I think menieres can be quite isolating, in that it's invisible to anyone else and not that many people have heard of it. So this forum is really good in that you realise there are people who are or have experienced the same and helps to ease the feeling of isolation. I find it too as the partner of a sufferer. Take care Jackie. 

Hi I haven't had headaches, but when an attack is coming I do get increased pressure and tinnitus. I find it is all stress related. After the last attack my hearing has come back again.

Hi I have had a headache and the fullness in my ears for 32 days now, so today I went and bought some ear candles which I read on the internet are meant to help. I have used them and the pressure in my ears and head has cleared up a great amount, not  100% but at least 90%  making me feel more human.

Hi jackie, ive just been diagnosed with MD after months of feeling extreamly unwell. I have suffered with migranes since my early 20s (iam now 39). I also have a blocked nose all the time, and seem to have a lot of clear watery fluid all the time, which causes me to have sores up my nose. For the past 6 years i have had a feeling of water rushing about in my right ear, i visited my gp several times with this and was informed each time my ear was inflamed and was prescribed an antibiotic spray. I believe this was the start of MD. In november/dec last year i was very ill, and was diagnosed with sinusitus and ear infection, by feburary this year i was experiencing severe vertigo, unable to walk had to crawl to the bathroom, and vomiting frequently. Tinatus not to bad for me i can cope with that, its the vertigo etc thats really affecting me.

Also should have said, i have had a grommet in my right ear, stopped smoking and reduced salt & caffeine intake, the attacks have lessoned, just hope i continue to improve. Maybe you should discuss grommets with your doctor they seem to work with some people and its a very simple proceedure. Good luck
