Menieres drop attacks
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello, i am new to this group. About 20 years ago i was diagnosed with Menieres. My Dad and Grandma had it also. I would get dizzy and vomit till it passed. I only have 20 percent of my hearing left in my right ear (thank God it is only in one ear). I always seem to get attacks when the weather pressure changes from high to low. This year I have been hit with a new symptom, drop attacks! Instead of the typical dizzy, vomit episodes my whole world suddenly turns to the left and I feel as though I am being pushed. I suddenly fall to the ground!!!!! I get no symptoms before this happens. My ENT has prescribed hydrachlorathiazide and Betahistine, which i get from Canada. Neither seems to be working anymore. I am scared to go out of house or drive.
I am thinking of asking my ENT for the gentamicin injections. This disease is soooo cruel.

This might help. I live Windsor Ontario and I was diagnosed with meniere's disease in 2011. Just recently I've made a few posts to tell how I found total relief from vertigo accidentally from a natural testosterone booster made from various plants. Actually didn't notice anything from the supplement other than my frequent and violent vertigo attacks stopped completely. I've started and stopped taking supplements about half dozen times over just shy of 6 years now. While on them I have never had even one attack and when I stop attacks always come back.
Okay here in Ontario you can buy online or supplement stores
Both of these products have worked for me as I said testo jack and multi jack
If someone out there has meniere's and gets frequent vertigo attacks you might want to try it. It worked for me within fee days of starting then after that once every week or seems enough to keep attacks away for me.

I have every sympathy with you it's a horrible disease a lot of people don't know about unless they know someone who has it x

I don't think you're grasping what I'm saying. I only take one capsule every week or two. You're looking at the word testosterone and totally missing the point that one capsule every week or two is nothing testosterone wise. Anyone that would dismiss this over such a small dose ... well I'm going to put it bluntly ... then your vertigo can't be very bad. I would of contemplated selling my soul to get rid of it because it was so bad.

I averaged seven attacks a week, each lasting about two hours with killer nausea. My life was in kaos. Then one day i was with a friend, she wanted to purchase something in a supplement store. While I was waiting I randomly picked out this product. And i had never bought any vitamins or supplements EVER in my life previous to that.
Ironically I always tell people I'm lucky.
And I have never had a vertigo attack while taking it's not a cure because when I stop taking vertigo always comes back but it's damn close.
I can't say if will help you buy should at least help some of M.D. sufferers.
And it costs me less than two dollars a month.

Thank you for your concern in this matter. I have steered away from the injections after some research on the matter. I will look up Dr. Strupp and his research.

If you google him you should find a Youtube video interview with him in English. Regarding dosage if you put "high dose betahistine (Serc)" into your search engine that should produce quite a lot of info.
Incidentally the max dose 'officially' recognised in the UK is still 16mg tds. My consultant says that level does not work and is little better than a placebo. Furthermore it takes at least a month to become fully effective when the dose is high enough. I am now in my second period of full remission (apart from low level tinnitus and hearing damage) and off drugs completely. I wish the same for all sufferers!!
PS I have just looked back at your first post re drop attacks - I have only had one near miss - I grabbed a nearby tree until the vertigo stopped. But it reminded me that up to 30% of sufferers go on to get BPPV. Has that issue been eliminated for you?

It is great to hear you are in remission, it really gives me hope for the future. I refuse to let it get the best of me and continue to live life to the fullest!
