Hi Everyone,

I'm chasing some advice, I've been unwell for about three months now. Im a 27 year old woman, My symptoms include severe headaches, ringing in both ears, severe ear pain, vertigo and fatigue. I'm seen Neurologists, Doctors, Physiotherapy, I've had massages, I've tried all sorts of things. All of my tests, scans came up clear so my doctor has put me on medication for Meniere's Disease, it doesn't seem to be working, if anything my symptoms have worsen. I keep going back to the Doctor all they keep suggesting is taking anti depressants for the chronic headaches and just ride it out. I dont want to go on anti depressants I want to know why my head feels like it's going to explode from pain and pressure. I'm lost at what to do next. I'm also struggling to work and drive.

I do have an ear test in three weeks but I don't think I can wait that long.

Any advice or suggestions.

    Hi Leah,

    Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble.

    The headaches or migraines sounds like they are the most problem to you, so although you might be being treated for Meniere's Disease, you need something to treat the headaches also.  As a suggestion you could ask for Sumatriptan or other forms of triptan.  You can get it in injection, tablet a disolve on the tongue product and even a nasal spray. For me, these work very well and take the pain away quickly.

    Good luck Leah and let us know how you get on.

    Take care and best wishes
