    A thread by @WileyCoyote which I've relocated here, to Your Living Room.

    "Hello,

    New here but not new to this PITA. I had my first symptoms at the age of 16 and was diagnosed at 18 with Meniere's in my left ear(I am now 45). Had multiple attacks a day and ended up having a shunt implanted, mine was more of a valve the a traditional wedge shaped shunt. During surgery my doctor found my endolymphatic sac was nothing but scar tissue.

    Had been doing really well for several years, only an attack every six months or so, but since recovering from Covid I have been having a lot more issues recently. Was wondering if anyone else is experiencing that.

    More happy side of me love scuba diving and am an IT data nerd."

    Sorry to hear all this. PITA is probably the best way to describe menieres issues. Given that COVID is still not fully understood, who knows what impact it can have on other already existing ailments. Glad to hear, at least, that you recovered from it! This is an interesting thread - one that I hope garners some helpful responses for you. Hope you feel better going forward.
