A year on JOH & acyclovir. 2 mo on betahistine & pycnogenol. Back in ER...

was on serc/john/diuretic for years serc and diuretic helped for a short time and stopped i got on acylovir and again had short success stopped taking serc/diuretic/john several months ago was a relief in a way not to pop so many pills switched to valacylovir a month ago and have had fewer spells am on aussie treatment going into 3rd month; too early to tell on that have some really blue days probably need something for that i wake up so angry when i sit on the edge of my bed and know my day is going to be a struggle never give up God bless you this day jt

 

I only started taking antivirals to get rid of the aural fullness. I had only had 6 bouts of vertigo over a two year period. But, my hearing was fine. Then I got aural fullness. Acyclovir helped clear my ear but, then I was having vertigo every or every other day. The clearness only lasted a week.

I started JOH's Regimen and along with the acyclovir and even added the vitacost's pine bark. I was still having lots of vertigo.

A couple of months ago ( beginning of November ) I started valacyclovir ( valtrex ) along with most of JOH's Regimen and my ear went clear for two weeks. November 20th was my last vertigo attack. My ear has been full since November 20th and tinnitus is going nuts. But, no vertigo!!

I have ordered the pycnogenol this time and not vitacost's pine bark. I'm also taking Everything on JOH's regimen and Vitamin D3. I don't do the gingko.

 

Thanks for the answer guys. Any i will i will try it . i couldnt make it Badder than now

 

Hi Dennis,

someone from Germany over here as well.
When I found this forum first and came a cross the acyclovir I also talked about that with my doctors (yup, i had four of them) and actually none of them was really open for prescribing it. I got tested on herpes viruses etc. but none of them was convinced that giving aciclovir or any antiviral at a phase with inactive viruses is a good idea when weighing the benefits and the possible side effects. They also believed in an upbuilding of resistance to antivirals (just like antibiotics), so they were hesitant.
Where exactly are you located?

 

The best menieres advice ever.
