As many here know I'm one of many who have not been able to control my mm symptoms to any large degree dispute being on antivirals for 18 months now, taking the JOH supplements, NUCCA treatments and various other things. Today someone mentioned perilymph fistula so I looked it up. Symptoms included ear fullness, daily dizziness, (not BPPV), motion intolerance, sensitive hearing, and pressure bending over, all of which I usually have daily. For several years prior to my first big mm attack my ears would get pressure and fill up while bending over in the flower garden or house cleaning. Not dizziness but always pressure. Now they are full most of the time so I just wrote it off to mm and barametric pressure. I now have to wear ear plugs in noisy places as the noise will feel like I'm being stabbed in the ear sometimes. I'm seeing a new ENT a couple hours away from home on the 20th and think I should ask more questions about this. My hearing has always remained normal other than the noise sensitivity. Just curious if anyone has had any experience with fistulas.
