    I've had Meniere's for over 20 years, lost all hearing in right and 10% in left. Still occasionally have issues with fullness and ringing in ears. Now started having issues with dry mouth and eyes, occasional swelling of parotid glands. They are both autoimmune diseases I believe. Is there an connection between them, along with hypothyroidism?

    I also have hypothyroidism and take medication for it, along with meds for Meniere's. Currently in process of testing for Sjogrens.

    Maxzide for water retention, Meclizine for vertigo.

    My wife (who has MD) and I are very interested in this connection to the possible effects of Herpesvirus on her MD. What does one do to stop the effects of Herpesvirus on Meniere's Disease ?

    Thank you for responding. How can I view (I have talked before about the importance of a broad based effort that doesnt just include the pharma or one type to hit the virus(es) from many angles) ?
