Would love to know...

Ok I asked the same question in another thread because I was to clueless ??? on posting a new thread. I get so lazy with reading on this computer sometimes. Not to mention my eyes are whack.
Anywho, I thought it would be a good idea to see what is everyone's:

age-33
ethnicity-black
gender-female
diagnosis-MAV-BPPV

Sort of like an idea on what and who's coping with what. For example, I read that Caucasians are more prone to getting meniere's. Is that true? And its an older person disorder. Well that isn't true. I have met some as young as 18 suffering with balance disorders.

 

age-60
ethnicity-white
gender-female
diagnosis-Meniere's

I've had Meniere's 34 years.

 

I remember from years ago on the forum that we could not identify these diseases affecting white, black or otherwise in any discernible pattern.
62, white, male, Meniere's and suspect MAV. Have had the dx almost twenty years with some symptoms for twice that long.

 

White male
50ish

Smoked for many years, first cigarettes then cigars (man I miss cigars) did a lot of other stuff in the 70's, Just dont remebernow.


I have always wanted to know as well.

 

Please state your sexual preferences as well. EEEH its scientific.

 

What's your guess?

 

I don't think we could get less scientific

 

64, white, male, meniere's

The only statistic I saw was that for some reason, Swedes seem to have it a little less than the rest of the world....must be the long cold snowy nights

 

Maybe if we could find out what else Swedes have less of we could nail this down.

What is "white" I have always wondered? For that matter what is "black" ? Europe and Africa are big places with many cultures and genetic contributions. And most of us really only know our skin tone and the culture of our immediate family. We don't actually know all the contributors to our genetic pool. Tests have show that the group people identify with is not necessarily the group from which they draw many of their genes so for medical research purposes it's a very shaky concept.

 

I know what you meen June. I went to the doc last week and the form ask if i was white or black. Sometimes it an`t that simple.
