    Hello Debbie, good name! (One of my daughters is called Debbie)

    My husband had Labyrinthitis (twice) One was on the day we were going on holiday, the second, while we were away (on top of a mountain!) Timing couldn't have been worse.

    He was given an injection on both occasions,slept for hours, then woke with it gone. (different doctors, years apart)

    Our family Dr told him any further episode and he would treat it as Menieres.

    Best wishes

    Pauline

      Thx Pauline. How far apart were the episodes? What kind of shots was he given? This interests me. Thank you. Debbie

      Hello Debbie,

      2-3 years apart (I think) We weren't told what it was, just that it would work.

      I will try to find out.

      Best wishes

      Pauline

      How long did the labyrinthitis last each time?

      That sounds like BPPV ... he must have had crystals in his ear. Labyrinthitis really is very different.
