To All the Recent Newbies (July 2021)

Have you ordered the Liposomal Vitamin C yet?



Yes, you are in a bad spot and I sure don't envy you, BUT, you need to stop worrying about the future and start working toward improving it. There is no other way. You need to get to work and today would be a great day to start.

 

I wish you luck, I guess I am a "lucky" one I have mine under control with Betahistine feel free to ask or PM any questions

 

hi, I just posted a thread two days ago "Medical Medium Protocol". I am newly diagnosed too! an However healing rapidly using Medical Medium's protocol. Please check out or buy his book Cleanse to Heal, you can see my post on this forum describing my story. I hate to think you should suffer needlessly, I am getting better after two months I am 80% of my symptoms relieved thus far. take care, Mary

 

Please read my post two days ago, "Medical Medium Protocol". I told my story in that post, please take a look, as I'm also fairly newly diagnosed, but healing rapidly after 2 months slowly diving into the Medical Medium book Cleanse to Heal and its wealth of information and clearly outlined protocol. I hope you will consider checking out or reading this book, please take good care

 

Lana, I believe Menieres is a very lonely disease and to a certain degree, we are all on our own. Yes some people may have a more supportive network of family and friends but when vertigo strikes, each of us has to suffer through it with eyes closed and head still. When the endless vomitting occurs, there's no one between us and the toilet. The tinnutis is especially lonesome. You cannot share a ringing that only exists in your brain.

So if you feel alone please know you are not alone in that feeling. And remember that many people are winning this battle and increasing their number of good days/weeks/months by finding what works for them. And this website is a great place to start.

Best of health to you!

 

Lana, sorry for the typos in my previous post.

I have it in both ears as well, but fortunately so far it’s only affecting the hearing in my “good” ear and not the balance (no vertigo or dizziness). It can be so very hard and you feel cheated out of your life—as a fellow musician, I get that. But life does go on and you definitely can find pleasure and happiness in other things.

You are not alone.

Lana after reading all of your posts I hope you don’t take offense to what I am going to suggest. Because you feel you are alone with no support dealing with your symptoms I suggest you ask your PCP for a referral to a psychologist. My thought is a psychologist can help you sort through your fears. Or perhaps if you have a pastor with who you can share your fears. Anxiety will increase the symptoms you are experiencing. I believe with the support of a professional who deals with anxiety will help you find the answers to many of the questions you have. You have received some good advise from many on this board but your anxiety of what lies ahead is getting in your way. I offer my 2 cents with sincerity.

 

Lana you are stronger than you think you are. Take one day at a time. Read the book you have/ are going to order Heal your Headache and start reading it as soon as you get it. Stress and anxiety is going to make everything worse. Pop in to this forum if you need to talk to someone. You are not alone.

Lana, you can also adopt the belief that it's just a matter of time before better things come.

Hang in there.

 

Hi Lana your life is not over. I don't know why some people are challenged by nasty illnesses like menieres but there is a lot worse and the graveyards and hospitals are full. IMO a change of thinking is necessary. You would no doubt get around to realising that, so it is best to start now. You need to meet this challenge head on with the knowledge that a great many people either beat this disease or learn to adjust. Research is the one of the keys for you as is trial and error to find out what works best for you. From personal experience Doctors and Specialists will not give you the answers that you need. There is so much experience and knowledge on this forum that I think you will find your answer right here.

Just briefly I was diagnosed with menieres but through research and trial and error it become obvious to me that I had Migraine associated vertigo (MAV) . By the way you do not have to migraines to suffer from MAV. There are quite a few tips I could pass on but I think it is worth looking at diet as a route to success and a medication called SERC. I am from the uk and the go to medication is SERC (Betahistine) If you are not from the uk and from the usa chemists can make up a serc compound for you. Serc is a preventative and takes a couple of weeks to kick in. If you want to try the diet route best purchasing Heal your Headache by David Buchholz in which he outlines diet but also explains that you don't need to have a headache to suffer from MAV. You will get all sorts of suggestions from the very nice people on this forum. Whatever you do take the suggestions one by one as trying more than one suggestion will only muddy the waters and you wont know which one works. That certainly is the case with an elimination diet. I started with egg on toast for every meal and added one food at at time thereby eliminating the triggers. I was sick along the way having over 150 episodes in 3 years of rotational vertigo and 6 six hour vomiting sessions. That was 2005 to 2008 and I believe stress caused shingles which caused all the rest of the problems.

From 2008 I haven't drunk alcohol, had no caffeine, MSG, aged cheese or anything high in tyramine and I have been fine. I visit this forum maybe twice a year and comment maybe once as I am fine and live a normal life. I am deaf in my left ear as a result of all the episodes years ago but that's ok. Don't worry about finding or keeping a partner as that will happen naturally if they have anything about them. Best of luck. Wishing you well. Frank

 

Lana,

Since you do not have hearing loss, strongly consider Frank's advice on MAV.
I am praying for you. Be strong, you can get through this.
