Thanks Rich, yes I too have kept a diary, watched what I eat, tried to stay stress free, difficult to do when I'm being referred to OH,and have meetings with my manager. Now I've been refused PIP, that is doubly stressful. I just keep crying, because I feel I'm not being listened to.

Hi Sharon, Sorry to hear about your troubles. I can relate. I was denied Long Term Disability recently. It's a big blow! I have been off work since end September 2016, so over 9 months now. It is difficult to prove all the problems caused by Menieres. At the end of April 2017, the new ENT I see doubled my dose of Betahistine to 48 mg twice a day. Took awhile to adjust to this, about 3 weeks. This, combined with vestibular rehab exercises have made such a difference. Tinnitus is decreased. For the first time in months, I feel somewhat normal! I still have some fatigue however but overall I am much improved. I am getting a hearing aid very soon, it's on order. Want to return to work but it's a daunting prospect! This condition is so unpredictable but we have to keep going, scary as it us sometimes. The thought of working again seems like climbing a mountain. Keep hopeful, things will get better!
