So all test from ENG said it is MD. I already knew that as I was diagonsed in my 30s. 63 now. I moved and went to new doctor he did not believe that I had it until tests. Hearing was bad in both ears . Anyway this is my problem I have really bad anxiety with the disease. I don't have vertigo attacks very often but my balance is horrible. Very dizzy when I bend over or look side to side. Balance issues never go away I have been like this for six months now after a couple of small vertigo attacks. Is everyone different I read where people have violent vertigo with throw up. I wake up nauseous but that is it. My anxiety is through the roof and I can not sleep. Any suggestions and do I sound like anyone else.

    The balance retraining (vestibular rehab) is really worthwhile.  I haven't looked back.  There is a lot of information on this now.  I recently went for an interview and noted I had menieres.  During the medical check I was asked how I was managing the menieres.  The interviewer was particularly interested in whether I was doing by balance exercises on a regular basis. My menieres began about three years ago.  Initially the balance retraining was difficult and I only did a few.  Three years on, it is a must for me, morning and night.  I also take betahistines.  Good luck

      Question I do not think they have betahistines in USA avaliable.  Is Meclizine the same as the betahisines. I see where so many are on them on the Meaniers forum.
