Can I ask, do people find themselves being more careful about where they go and what they do when they have got Menieres? Mine has only just started up again after a break of 5 years and already I've cancelled taking my grandchildren swimming, a day out with friends and a meal with work colleagues because I'm worried that I will have an attack. The thought of being out and having an attack really scares me because I'm sure people would just assume I was drunk.

    I found Buccastem had a horrible effect on me, I poured sweat then minutes later was so cold my teeth chattered, my heart pounded & I had strange hallucinations. I then discovered that as there was a history of blood clots in the family I shouldn't take it. 

    Re hobbies I love swimming & cycling but when I mentioned this to my GP she said not to cycle on concrete & I haven't had the courage to swim as so much white tiled surface can set me off..
