Grief and Meniere's?

My first Meniere’s attack was 2 months after my husband lost his job. I’m in no way comparing the death of someone to losing a job but I will always believe that the stress it caused was the beginning of my disease. I’ve never said that out loud to anyone nor even written it down!

 

I think it is often associated with a sudden jolt to the system.My hydrops happened right after i quit smoking and during a time when my house was a construction zone full of noise and allergens. I have always suspected the smoking connection

 

I used to do a lot of reading on Meniere's before I stopped giving a sh*t after all the failed diets meds and surgeries. Anyway I recall reading about a disproportionate number of Meniere's sufferers having a history of depression.

Then again, I think that probably applies to people with other ailments. Depression and stress release all those detrimental chemicals.

But to your exact question. No, I did not have a major event cause my onset.

If you got Meniere's within the month of your friend dying, I'd say the stress could have more quickly brought on the Meniere's that was already lurking. But it was a year later, so I doubt it.

Just my know-nothing opinion.

 

I don't know about causing Menieres but I've had it 3 months now and any stress at all triggers a usually rest of a bad day ahead. I just can not handle any kind of stress anymore without getting full blown dizziness and extreme tinnitus after. I would say 3 notches hire for both.
Any one else experience this ?

 

Stress absolutely played a large role in my onset. I'll never forget the day when I started experiencing something different happening in my ear. It was timed exactly with an event. Furthermore, I forever have to manage my stress levels to keep from raising the likelihood of an attack or increased agitation.

 

Yep,

I got my first
Signs of menieres working at Goldman Sachs in New York wiling 16 hour days, stress like nothing you can imagine, eating lunch at my desk which consisted of shit food and diet mt dews (4-6 a day). On top of having to deal with 6 miscarriages and the emotional distress of that.

Diet and stress did me in like many on here

 

A crappy fast paced alcohol and nicotine lifestyle seems to really help kick it into gear and get it going, been all downhill from there. Just like many of you I am going through every kind of suggestion and treatment I can find. The problem is that the past high pressure lifestyle has probably given some of us coronary artery disease and or maybe Chronic kidney disease, those two buddies in conjunction begin limiting the kinds of treatments you can try.
My, My, after looking back at what I have just written it sounds pretty grim, well I am not giving up and neither should any of you. Just keep on keeping on and spreading the information, it helps us all.
Would anyone happen to know where I can find a good Witch Doctor????
