Will it ever stop?

Hi,  re to the forums as I’m in desperate need of some support. I’ve been battling vertigo, ear fullness, hearing loss and tinnitus for over 4 years now. I’ve never officially been diagnosed with Ménière’s but have been taking betahistine for some time now. I had respite of about a year until about 6 months ago whereby the attacks (mainly in the night or morning) are now coming thick and fast. I constantly feel nauseous and dizzy really. Never seems to let up. I find myself wishing for the permanent hearing loss and the vertigo to go which is madness. But I need something to get better. Does it ever happen?

    Dear deemogs,

    Like one other person said before me, definitely salt and stress play havoc on our nervous systems so check on that. Also, in my case, sugars and grains were triggers of vertigo.

      Thank you. I do keep my salt low, I also have very little caffeine, drink lots of water and try to steer clear of sugars. Unfortunately I can’t do the same with stress lol. I was trying to get back to exercising when this last episode happened. I also have fibromyalgia so need the exercise to move me! But it would seem Zumba is not the answer.

    Sorry to hear, you are not alone! Since I turned 60 I have been having attacks at least twice a month, constant tinnitus and a lot of hearing loss. My ent says that i am doing good, which i think is bull. I hope you find relief and I also pray for mine.
