Jacki's Place

Hi My name is Jacki and I have Meniere's Disease. What is Menieres Disease you ask? It is a disorder of the inner ear or labrynth. The most prominent symptoms of this condition include episodes of dizziness or vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, and tinnitus (noise or ringing in the ear) and pressure in the ear. The cause of menieres also known as morbus menieres is not known., but it is thought to be triggered by an immune, metabolic, infectious, traumatic, allergic, or other injury to the labrynth. The condition generally starts in one ear, but it may eventually become bilateral in up to half of all patients.

This is me with my cat J.R. on my lap. This picture was made for me by my friend Robyn who also has Menieres Disease and she lives in New Jersey.

I belong to a great group called the Coping List which is found at the following site:
