Hi Omayo by the fact you have appeared on this site I think you already suspect you have M D it certainly looks that way seems the early stages of the disease because of the long intervals between attacks your on the right track by seeing a consultan and wish you good luck . Johno

Hello Omayo. Your symptoms do indicate Meniere’s but there are several vestibular disorders so hopefully your ent specialist will give you a diagnosis. If it turns out to be Meniere’s you would be prescribed betahistine if you are in U.K.  Your attacks are not as frequent as mine were at the start and I always suffered from severe vomiting with vertigo. It’s so unpredictable I felt uneasy leaving the house. 18 months on and I am stable on betahistine thank goodness. I wish you luck. 

Ménière’s disease is an inner-ear condition that can cause dizziness, a specific type of dizziness in which you feel as though you’re spinning. It also can cause ringing in your ear, hearing loss that comes and goes and a pressure in the ear.

I give you some signs of it:-

1.Recurring episodes of vertigo

2.Hearing loss

3.Ringing in the ear (tinnitus)

4.the feeling of fullness in the ear

Treatment:-

Medication: The most common symptom of an attack of Ménière’s disease is vertigo. Medication can help relieve vertigo and shorten the attack.

Air pulse generator: Repeated delivery of small air pulses transfer into a tube placed in the eardrum had some variable success.

Surgery: These following surgical procedures suggested depending on the patient’s situation:

1.Endolymphatic sac shunt surgery

2.Vestibular nerve sectioning

3.Labyrinthectomy

 

Hello all, I’m a very complicated subject and would be writing a2page reply. I’m so happy I found you all just knowing I’m not the only one with this debilitating disease. Omayo, I feel for you! This Md is a complicated disease. My story is ... 2014 I had my first stroke. 2015 I had my second. Never had md until after that! May 1 2017 had vertigo almost everyday some mild some so bad I couldn’t stand up or keep anything down. Went to er 2 times but there was no sign of stroke until May 20, 2017. Stroke #3. 

In the rehab process I had vertgo again and they gave me mecluzine and Ativan and a patch! I was a zombie! Anyway, in my case I have vertigo that leads up to strokes but also vertigo from md. This past weekend I had the md vertigo where you can’t walk or keep anything down you just want to die! Not knowing which kind of vertigo it was my husband gave me a Ativan which couldn’t keep down later a meclizine which I kept long enough to help. 

Ive been seeing an ent to help me. I’ve lost 80% of heating in my rut ear and 30 in my left. I had an operation 20 years ago and had a sepadectimy to help my hearing. I want it out because I feel it’s causing the md but doctor won’t do it as I’ll loose complete hearing in return ear and chance of another stroke. So it’s a catch 22.

the noise is horrible in my ear some times worse than others. I notice anxiety, caffeine and salt make it worse. Also, bloodpressure plays a big role too. If you have it again that bad please go to the er. 

I hopei didn’t bore you with my story. Just happy I found someone that understands! Take care, god bless
