I’ve not had vertigo as such, I don’t have nystagmus and I’ve only had 2 ‘internal’ spins (if that makes sense).
The 16mg stopped that but I’m still having some unbalance and tinnitus so happening the increased dose will help me further.
Have you had vertigo since?
Also how do you manage with your balance now? Any tips for me?

Mmm I’m doing some vestibular rehab exercises my consultant gave me but I feel I go off to the right a lot.
Do you feel dizzy at all or lightheaded at any point? Is this just something we have to get used to?
Sorry for all the questions I’m quite new to this disease.

Have to admit I’m struggling laying down in bed this evening, feels like a proper attack of vertigo may happen, I have had this before and it hadn’t happened it’s just the apprehension.
This whole thing drives you insane! Xx

If you are going to see a chiropractor, you can read this first (http://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/atlas-adjustments-alleviate-menieres-disease) and it would help you, I have a plan to see a Blair chiropractor in a few months, you can find out your nearest Blair chiropractor from a website mentioned in the comments. Other chiropractor are also find they all aim to fix/adjust the atlas but my experience was little bit annoying, I went to a chiro and he started adjustment straight away without taking any x-ray etc but now this time I will go to a chiro who is specialist in Blair technique.
I was trying to cut betahistine 16mgm 2/day after ENT approval but after a week my symptoms have started coming back, I am now back to 3 tabs a day. Little bit dizzy all day and feel sudden shock/wave in my brain that makes me discomfort.
Good Luck and let us know your findings.

I have seen the chiropractor and they have found I have 2 misaligned cervical vertebrae and greater problems with my lower back.
Had X-rays and adjustments today.
Relief in my back is brilliant, some relief in my neck which is also good, ears felt clearer immediately after for about 3 hours but now tinnitus is back.
Had discussion with my GP about upping from 16mg to higher dose and she has said no as 16mg TDS is max for maintenance dose. Not happy with this as I’m not trying to maintain being symptom free I’m trying to become symptom free.
