Got diagnosed with.......
Menieres disease. Lots of fun, woke up to the room spinning (vertigo) could not get out of bed for 2 hours. Have been having vertigo attacks at random times for the last month, real fun when you get it at work. Anyone else have this great condition? I had MRI last night and go back to EnT in 2 weeks. He wants to inject some stuff into my inner ear. Some sort of steroid I think, not thrilled about having a needle pushed into my ear but if it helps the vertigo it should be worth it.

Vertigo sucks balls. Add in the vomiting and it's major suckage.

Damn, man. That really sucks.
Did they give you anything for the nausea? |

I don't know what's causing your vertigo, but mine was high blood pressure. When that got under control, no more dizziness.

My wife has 2 friends that have been diagnosed with menieres.
It appears that huge amounts of stress brought on a lot of the symptoms. Good luck |

On a more serious note though, when I had to go through chemo lite for the HCL they did give me valium for the nausea and it helped. At least I didn;t have to go into work those two weeks. I was able to work from home with my laptop when I felt like it |

My wife was diagnosed with it a few years ago. She has significant hearing loss in the one ear now. We finally found the right Rx cocktail to control the vertigo and other symptoms for the most part.

I hope I can as well. My hearing in my right ear is down by about 40% and the random vertigo is such a stress. Not knowing when you will have it is almost as bad as when it hits.
Guess I will see what the DR says in a couple weeks. In the meantime its wait valium in hand for the next round. |
