How often do your vertigo attacks happen and for how long do they last?

February 15, 2020: I do not remember the hours since I went to bed well and woke up with vertigo for the first time and went to the emergency room.
May 8, 2021: 4-6h
May 24, 2021: 90 minutes
June 21, 2021: 7-8h

 

In general 2-4 hours.
One fell outside this range at 12 hours.

I have 4-8 per year for the last three years including this year (at 5 now).

I spent a day puking in a bucket at work…I spent 2 hours puking at a parking lot at my daughter’s softball game… the list goes on. When I started having drop attacks: game over. Laby time to get rid of that crap.

 

Amazing how Menieres affects folks in so many different ways. My vertigo attacks were always 12+ hours long, for several months it happened 2-3 times a week. After that peak, vertigo was every 7-10 days for about 2 years but always 12+ hours per event. Valacyclovir stopped all that and I've been vertigo free for 1 year, 9 months and 5 days, but who's counting.

 

Before I had the laby and put an end to this crap they would come in clusters and last anywhere from 4-8 hours. It was awful, pure hell on earth. The laby made me normal again.

Tinnitus was bad, couldn't handle loud sounds, even if the dog barked it hurt my ears. But the ringing is much better although it never goes away.

 

My attacks were very frequent- 3 to four pre week, each one lasting between 15- 22 hours. Hell on Earth!

 

At my peak it was twice per week. The attack would last about 2-3 hours, after that i was down for another 4 hours. Since i started treatment for MAV, zero attacks.

 

How are you now?

 

I am good thank you. In 2016 I underwent Endolymphatic Duct Blockage and I have been fine. 3 years after the surgery I got a vertigo attack but now I believe it must have been MAV related. (I was being sensitive to light and smell during it plus it was a mild one)
Otherwise I have lived a perfect life and I thank God for that.
Before the surgery I tried everything and nothing helped me.
Have a good day everyone

 

I'm know I'm one of the lucky ones with MD, if you can call having MD lucky. But I have about one major episode a year lasting anywhere from 8-12 hours. The worst one lasted 5 days but that was 3 years ago. I have "mini" episodes lasting just a few minutes more often. But I'm controlling it all well with diet and vitamin supplements for now.

 

Tinnitus is constant in both ears but I make sure there is always some sort of white noise or background noise to drown it out. Hearing loss seams to be holding steady. But there are days when one ear or the other has a sudden loss but it so far "knock on wood" it comes back.

 

I can't find the last test report so I don't have actual numbers and it's been over a year since my last test so I don't remember what they were but I do know then I was at 30% loss in both.

 

I haven't. My ENT says as long as my episodes aren't too bad we are going to just stick with diet and vitamins for now and that's ok with me. But my ears feel so full today like I'm on a plane and nothing I can do is "popping" them. Excuse my newness but what is antivirus therapy?
