Brings back many memories Ray, and so true, the "BEAST" can be held at bay if you follow the treatment remedy's that so many of us have found to be successful right here on this site!

Thanks for the post...

Thank you. It says it all.
I am going to print it out and give it to a few people you just don't understand what we are going through.

 

Brilliant. You nailed it dead on, and have done all of us a service by doing so. Thanks for sharing!

 

Thank you so much Ray. That says it all

 

Thank you for the great article and for this great forum. It has literally shaped my treatment plans.

And I'll never forget my first BIG vertigo attack either. Eight hours of topsy turvy stomach jolting upset wondering if it will ever stop.

Reading the boards, seeking support, finding the best docs available....keeping on the go no matter what the fearful brain suggests is the best medicine. Go. Do. Live.

Last night I went to my first amplified sound theater since my first attack in a theater one year ago. My granddaughter was in Les Mis and i wasn't going to miss it so.....I had three different types of ear plugs which I experimented with while the orchestra tuned up. The best pair was the softer goey kind that I played with til I got them just right. So a little white goey stuff stuck to my hair like a white bubble gum....It was just a little noticeable with the Bose earphones clamped tightly to my head. When the battle scenes roared, I did get some big ole pulsatile tinnitus but today it is down to doable and I got to see a great play done by enthusiastic students. Worth all the funny looks I got messing with my ears, hair and earphones...we just gotta keep trying to live our lives.

 

Ray,

Outstanding article...and it very well explains to those unaware of Meniere's about this monster we live with daily.

Like you, I won't give up my business either, and even with the best medicines available, it sure is a struggle some days just to get by.

Thank you Ray for explaining exactly what all of us are living with! Your first vertigo attack brought back memories for me and I was only 14 at the time; scared and upset with what was happening to me. I wouldn't open my eyes because the room was endlessly spinning and I would throw up each time. My hearing was gone and I had a horrible loud roaring sound in my ears. The doctors during that time (1959) didn't know what was wrong with me. But they finally decided it could be Meniere's but they knew very little about the disease and really didn't know how to treat it. It took me two weeks to come out my first vertigo attack and some hearing came back in about two months. I was fitted with a hearing aid and told to learn to live with this for the rest of my life. I've seen many doctors who have helped me get through this. I chose to live in the hearing world that came with lots of ups and downs through out my life. But I'm 63 now and have learned to live with this 'beast' as best I can. This forum is wonderful place to come to remind me that I'm not alone. We can all stand strong and whip this "beast" with the right attitude, medication, surgery and exercise. It's so hard for people on the outside to understand what we are going through and I intend to print your article and show it to my husband. Thanks again

 

Great article, Ray. And many, many thanks for providing this forum. It has been invaluable in so many ways.
