Hi Daniel when I had the operation I was told that I would be dizzy and unbalanced for about a month or so. This lasted around a week really unpleasant. After that things settled down and I can honestly say that I haven't had a meniere's attack since that day. The operation completely changed my life after ten years of hell.

I have definitely been thinking about this a lot just scared of taking that step but it can't be any worse than what it is now

Morning Daniel. Try not to get too depressed. I know it doesn't help but you're not alone. Lot of us around. So much more can be done since I had my op so be hopeful and I hope you are not alone in coping with this.Kindest regards

Hi Rita thanks for your input. I haven't heard of the effect on your good ear. That certainly was good advice given to Daniel. I am sorry to hear of your condition it must be horrendous. Take care.

Thanks Rita! And I'm trying not to let it get me down I just miss the way life used to be before MD but I look at it also that it could be worse I guess. And I am thankful I have a really great support team behind me that helps me with a lot of stuff. I haven't been able to work in about 3 years and just got disability started so I'm thankful for that but had much rather be working it's odd to me cause I have worked all my life. But we will all beat this I hope hopefully one day we will wake up and it will be a cure for it.

Daniel, Please look into the possibility that upper cervical chiropractor can offer you some relief from symptoms.Watch Dr Burcon's u-tube videos about his research and treatments.You can also find him on Facebook, he lives n Michigan USA.The thought of having to go on disability is very discouraging. Hope you are on SERC, beta-histine at least. Did you ever have a whip-lash accident, even twenty, thirty years ago?

Thanks Questor. I have been reading up on upper cervical and currently looking for one in my area to give it a try. And I've never had any type of neck injury that I know of my neck dose take spells where it will hurt for several days to the point where it will make me sick on the stomach.

You're right. I have been in a couple car accidents years ago nothing bad I wasn't hurt and didn't have to go to doctor but I guess it could of knocked something out of line with out me knowing.
