Has anybody gone into remission like I have? After 7 debilitating months with Meniere's, getting worse every week, my symptoms have suddenly disappeared. - I've been on John of Ohio (JOH)'s regime for a month. - I received my 2nd COVID vaccine shot last week. The second shot had a fairly mild reaction, left Meniere's ear was inflamed the next day. But within two days, I wake up every morning with no fullness/vertigo/etc symptoms. I've even tested it by full-on going off Meniere's diet-- lots of salt, sugar, alcohol-- that would normally put me down in bed for two days. SO remission was caused by 1) JOH regime working after a month or 2) Pfizer vaccine killing or knocking back HSV-1 in my ears. Has anyone else gone into remission AFTER having both COVID shots??
Hi- Well congratulations on your 2nd shot and your Meniere's good news. As was mentioned in this thread Covid/Vaccine I actually had a mild attack after mine and June had some temporary issues too. It's a weird disease. It could be JOH, it could be just chance. My advice to you would be to continue eating and JOH as if you still had it. That is not easy to do. I don't follow that advice very well but I'm sure it would be a good idea LOL. I'm like a politician that tells you to cut your emissions and your carbon footprint but then jets off in a private jet to pick up his enviromentallist award.
I know it's a long shot, but I thought maybe Pfizer's vaccine hits HSV which can cause Meniere's... For some reason I'm much better!
Let's see how I explain to my doctor that I want to try the ptizer vaccine because I read a Meniere in a forum that it worked for him.
Actually, wasn't that the day you had your brown socks on first and then changed to the black ones? With this disease, you never know .......
I dont think it is impossible that there is a relationship at all. Menieres is a disease of the immune system. The covid vaccine, like all vaccines, is monkeying around with the immune system. That is why many feel ill for a day or two after the second shot. It is making our immune system get up and do something and the response doesn’t just kill the covid virus. I think it is equally possible that the good effect is temporary. When the body settles down, Menieres may go back to it’s old ways. Or not. Menieres is known to respond in a bad way to allergies and a good way to allergy treatment because they are both connected to the immune system. I agree with Donamo, don’t push your luck. Even if ignoring your diet is not the reason symptoms come back you will think it is and you don’t need the guilt. Enjoy your freedom from symptoms and use the opportunity to see if you see other possible triggers, perhaps food or environmental, as time goes by.
I've had both Pfizer vaccines (Dec 18 & Jan 8) and no change in my symptoms but I am about to start the JOH regime (just got my vitamins yesterday) so I'm hoping that will help.
Thank you for sharing your story...Any encouragement and freedom from symptoms, if only temporary, is a good thing. I wish you continued success.
I got my first Moderna shot yesterday. I would put disinfectant in my body if I thought it would help
I had my 2nd shot of Pfizer vaccine feb 5th. After 8 hours, had a very bad vertigo, just like when I had my first one 10 yrs ago... I'm ok now, but it scared me...
Hi. New to this forum. I had the opposite happen. About a month after my second covid vaccination (Pfizer), I had a recurrence of Meniere's symptoms (fullness, roaring, sound sensitivity, no vertigo- yet) after more than ten years of remission. Just wondering if there might be a correlation???
Ive gone through remissions from time to time sometimes up to a year. Seems to always come back and trust me I’ve tried everything. With that said there are some here who have benefitted from their treatments so just keep on doing what your doing. If it works and gives you relief then keep going if it doesn’t then its back to the drawing board. That’s how this thing goes sometimes. Keep your head up and stay strong best you can do for yourself. Good luck!
