I last saw my consultant in 2016, I take Betahistine, and Prochlorperazine, it's so frustrating, just when I feel great, then the attacks come thick & fast, no-one understands unless they have this debilitating condition. I am so thankful to have this forum, where other sufferers understand.

Thank you

    It's so frustrating that after a long hiatus of not having any episodes and believing that the medication and diet are working to then have another (and another) episode.

    Hang in there Sharon. I had an attack yesterday that I think has something to do with the rainy weather. Pressure in the ears the loss of hearing in one ear followed by tinnitus. MM is a pain, but keep your head up.

    I understand completely. I have been well for months and this weekend have had two major attacks. Yesterday I vomited for 7 hours. Exhausted and depressed having my independence slowly eroded. I’m going to try and get an appointment with my gp as I don’t have any anti sickness medication and I dread the thought of more days like yesterday. Last Christmas I was in hospital with pneumonia and it’s looking like this Christmas will be just as fraught. I suppose the only way is up now!
