hello to all ETD sufferers.  I have an inner ear disease called Meniere's Disease that has as one of it's symptoms a fullness in the ear that might resemble ETD.  I've found that taking a diuretic (50-75mg) dailey has completely eliminated my ear fullness.  I'm wondering if any of you have tried using diuretics (water pills) as a possible remedy for ETD and what results have you seen.  If you have not tried it maybe discussing this with your ENT would be helpful to you.  I hope so!

      i got a prescription last year but i stopped taking it i thought i needed something better to heal my ear fullness (i got a few other issues too, IT F*****G SUCKS). please excuse my toxicity

      i got hydrochlorothiazide pills.

      its 12.5 mg

      but i think thats the total amount in here

      like all the tablets combined.

      ill see if this works though i really hope it does
