Hi,

I have been having very bad bouts of vertigo and nausea and am now in week 9. I have not been diagnosed with Ménière's Disease but my Dr said it sounds likely and it would be very unfortunate! I had a brain CT scan two weeks ago and am still waiting for results from that.. as my doctor said 'to rule out anything more sinister'... I had a terrible attack last night and am feeling weak and below par today though still at work. It is really starting to weigh heavily upon me now that this could be a life long illness. Like you I cut out caffeine, alcohol and salt and am still very strict with my diet. I find I am thirsty all the time. The past two weeks I have annoying buzzing in my ears that is probably tinnitus.. How are you feeling now? Some days I sleep so badly and am awake from five am every morning. I just want some answers and soon. Am waiting for an ENT appointment.. as I live in N Ireland my Dr said it could take awhile.. I live and wait..... Any thoughts?

    Hi. With those symptoms I think you need to look also at Sjogren's as a possible cause. Very dry mouth is a key symptom. Dry eyes also. The vertigo etc can also be part if Sjogren's.
