Hey y'all! I can't believe I just now came across this website! Seems like a great community and tool for me to be able to use as I face this bump in the road! I would love if you guys checked out my meniere's disease story or 'testimony' if you will. Surely I can't be the only 19 year old college student to have meniere's disease, right?? Anyhow, hope y'all enjoy! https://steemit.com/vertigo/@adamrohrbough/meniere-s-disease-from-a-college-student-s-eyes Just an update since I started the antiviral valacylovir, yes I know everyone says valtrex is better but I'll just give this a try haha, I have been vertigo free. So 5 days now! That's a big step considering for the past three months i was on a consistent schedule of having a vertigo attack every other day. Hoping this continues to get better!
Hi Adam Welcome to the forum. Make sure you are taking the full dosage of valacyclovir for as long as it takes to get it under control. Also, check the brand of the generic. Some of us have had bad luck with certain brands. You can search the forums here to see which ones. If the one you're using works for you, then don't switch. http://www.mm3admin.co.za/documents/docmanager/6e64f7e1-715e-4fd6-8315-424683839664/00056616.pdf
Welcome Adam. I hope you do continue to get better. I am glad you had a doctor that knew about the anti viral. You were lucky.
Hey Adam. You seem to have a real good attitude. That helps so much. I was on Acyclovir, went into remission for 2 years and it just stopped working. I never decreased my maintence dosage. Now I'm on Valcyclovir and it took 2 months to kick in again. Still some minor episodes but short and further apart in duration. Good Luck and welcome!
And just to let y'all know everything I am taking here it is: -Valacyclovir -Leucovorin Calcium -LDN (low dose naltrexone) - Mito Cell PQQ (basically just a multi-vitamin that supports my immune system)
