Meniers Disease
Posted: 01-12-04 01:28am

I have this disease and was enquiring about the anti vertigo medications you speak of. I dont know of any such medicine here. Anything is worth a try. I have been dealing with this for 10 years and at 27 it doesnt make my life easy at all. I have had an operation and used the meniette device, tried all the low caffiene diets etc ... But nothing helps.

Hi, I too have this disease, and I certainly agree, it can come up
on me anytime at all, the worst I havehad was 3 weeks ago, after i
spent 1 1/2 hrs in the dentist chair, it lasted 12 hrs,
Sad my guestion is is it a good idea to fly, or not, as we realy dont know
what causes it, other than a build up of fluid in the ear, is there some
pill, much like a water pill, that could be used to help get rid of excess water ?? Question
any ideas ,
thanks Laughing

this ailment, would appeciate any info or experiense,

This illness is likely the case of my life long problem aswell. Symtoms come around after getting hurt, or getting sick etc. It is surprising that noone has mentioned PANIC ATTACKS though much in any of the forums since the symptoms are very similar. I have used many panic attack management techniques to control the illness. I have never used meds for it. Like many illnesses, this is one that can be managed when an episode does come around. I mean there is definately a distinct pattern. TRIGGERS.
