Greetings all,

I've had this condition for 10 years now. The fullness and vertigo seems to be tapering off. However, do any of you experience fatigue without any other apparent symptoms?  

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rick! Yes some days I'm so weak and tired I can hardly go.

      Ugh. That's me today. Woke up and ready for work but my body said no.  Want to sleep all day. Thanks for replying

    Hi Rick, yes I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat . It could be the medicine but some days I think I'll do this & that & really do something like decorating which I would previously have done without a problem but now it's like a mountain that I can't climb and I get frustrated .

      Thanks Lizzie for the reply. Some comfort knowing we are going through the same thing. Was feeling otherwise ok except for the fatigue. Little ringing in the ears but wow the fatigue knocked me out today.

      I find days like today my ear is full & it sounds like a wind tunnel. Definitely weather pressure bothers it.

      Yup.  It rained today and I think it's no coincidence that I had this flair up. Feel like I could sleep for a month.

      Thanks Bluesmann. I think sometimes it throws me off when I only get the fatigue without the vertigo. But I guess the body is constantly trying to "right" itself and that causes the exhaustion.

    Yes, that's how it is with me too.  I can't understand why I don't have the energy I used to have and have to take a nap every day.  My sisters, who are both older than me (I'm 66) do so much more.  I blame it on the diuretic or 'age', but I'm thinking it is just part of Meniere's based on everyone's responses.  I've had MD for 9 years and the vertigo has died down, but I'm still tired most of the time.  Oh well, better than vertigo!

      Thanks Lana. Agreed - it is better than the constant vertigo.
