Hello everyone! I have been on the JOH regimen plus an anti-viral for a week or so now and so far so good! I am getting over the shingles and still have a bit of that nerve tingling/pain but the vertigo has been at bay for over a week. I have been trying to reduce stress and am meditating and doing restorative yoga daily. My questions are: 1. I saw on the FB page called Meniere's Disease Support that most ENTs have been telling patients to use diuretics. I just started a gentle OTC one---- but am kind of scared of being on this because I think it sounds "whacked" in a way because I have always thought it is so important to be hydrated. Maybe though in the back of my mind it sounds reasonable because I have for years had aural fullness and maybe it would help with that? 2. One of my other symptoms has been waking up at around 2-3am and not being able to fall asleep. Some members of the FB page take benadryl to sleep better and they say it dries up anything that might be causing aural fullness. John of Ohio or others, would you caution me against these little treatments or do you in your opinion (and I know you are not a doctor) think they might benefit Meniere's patients? Thank you all for your support. I feel I am on my way to better health by eating a ketogenic diet, doing easy yoga, reducing stress, meditating, taking the JOH regimen plus an anti-viral.
I went off benadryl and diuretic and am sleeping better now. Those 2 things just did not resonate with me. And JOH gave me some history about why those "remedies" were prescribed in the past.
Hello, I am new to the forum and after not having an attack for six months have had them almost non- stop the past ten days. So just started John' s regiment three days ago, unfortunately having to take citrus bioflavonoids until lemon back in stock. Since you seem to have been on his regiment for a month and a half, just wondering how you are progressing. Bonnie
