New Possible treatment for "the dizzies" next year

I get Decadron shots straight into my eardrum -- Not gonna lie - it's not pleasant - but the pain is well worth the relief I get for months after....

 

Nickyschick , is that the steriod injection?
I got it 3 times but I think it gave me vertigo
(Unless its a coincidence ) it didn't hurt
Much at all but is it possible if I got the injection
In the left ear the feeling of congestion went away
In the right? I know it's weird but I def
Felt it helped with head pressure . How many times
Per year can you get it?

 

I think I know what he is referring to
Someone posted an article regarding this
A few months ago I will see If I can find it.
I believe it's a steriod injection that turns into
A gel , which prevents it from leaving the inner ear.
My doctor said it will be available soon.
It was supposed to be available the first half of this
Year , so far not yet .

Sorry Lisa- just saw this -- Yes it is a steroid injection.... It does give you a little vertigo when you are getting it and you do feel "off" for a few days to a week after ( a little dizzy and fatigued) but after that I feel great for months at a time..... When I was having attacks 3 or 4 times a week - and before I got the Minette Device - I went for 3 shots in 5 months - the first one only lasted 3 weeks - the next one lasted a bit longer and the last one has lasted the longest.....and yes it absolutely helps ME with the aural fullness.... when you want to "pop" your ear but just can't... that is as maddening as the ringing.

So now I am trying to avoid getting another shot if possible to see if the Minette Device is actually working for me now ( i got it in April and use it 4 times a day) -- I feel "good" and almost forget sometimes that I have this stupid disease ( you know - except for the constant ringing and hearing loss in my right ear) - but I live an active life for the most part - I work full time - still do things like go to concerts and go boating and jetskiing and walking with my gf..... ( I am 47 and have had this for 20 something years).
