I have been diagnosed with Menieres and have felt symptoms for about 6 months. Like all of the posts I have been on Meclizine and a diuretic along with an occational valium once an attack is under way. I am very frustrated because the attacks have no rhyme or reason as why they start. I am on a strick low salt diet and exercise as much as possible but need encouragement from all of you because I am only 39 and do not want to live the rest of my life suffering. If anyone has tried something that may relieve the vertigo attacks I would be very greatful. My doctor did’nt seem intersted. Thanks in advance

I know where you are coming from…After about a million test i was told it was meniere’s about a year ago. After the attackes usually about a month or so I would start to feel ok (some days even normal)After a really bad attack I had in june not a day has gone by where I felt normal. Tried a new dr who wants to treat it like vestibular migraines. but after about a month just had another attack..went in the next morning and the new dr gave me more meds to try…including one for panic attacks (which is what he thought i had i guess) Why is it so hard to find a dr who really believes something is wrong. Anyone know what else we can try…meclazine doesnt help me and i am on a low sodium diet. was on a dieretic until this dr took me off it. I am only 35 and really need to beleive there is hope out there yet

I was diagnose several years ago with Menieres Disease, I was a relief, finally a Doctor who understood me. But I don’t have insurance and can not afford to go and see him not that I have allot of hope of relief anyway. Vertigo comes and goes, I never know when that will hit me. But the ringing in my ears is extremely high. The ringing never stops day and night. Those around me do not understand they can not believe it. I have talking about it, they just dont understand. I don’t think I can’t hear I just think I can’t hear certain sounds they just blend into the ringing in my ears.
