Curious - what kind of doctor do you see for Meniere's?

Hi there, I think I am in the minority on this forum living in the UK and I feel with our unique NHS in England the medical system is very different, I started off by seeing my GP when I first had symptoms 20 years ago, I was always just given Stemitil and sent away again, he eventually sent me to ENT for tests when my symptoms persisted and got steadily worse, at first the ENT specialist thought I had BPPV but after trying a few tests decided that as my hearing was suffering and I had bad tinnitus he finally diagnosed Menieres, I have had a few charges in medication over the years.

 

I’ve seen several ENTs and otoneurologists (in Ent departments).

 

Over the years I have seen many ENTs and several otoneurologists. Currently see an ENT.

 

OTO from Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston.

 

I’m to the point I’m going to start looking for a witch doctor... lol. It’s about the only on I haven’t tried.

 

I see a neurotologist.

Ent with extra training- otoneurologist? Neurotologist?

 

ENT, Oto, Chiro, PT, and a witch doctor, of sorts. The witch doctor actually put different elements or minerals on a metal plate and put electrodes on my fingers to indicate substances my body was missing. He gave me several "solutions" in dropper bottles and sent me on my way. It didn't help with the Menieres but I had some crazy dreams. I was waking up inside dreams only to realize I was still dreaming and then waking up again in the dream only to realize I was still dreaming. Supposedly that only happens when you reach really deep sleep. I never had the solutions tested but I think I was pretty lucky I was not called up for random drug testing at work aroung that time.
