As you may have seen in some of my other posts, twice I reduced my Acyclovir from 2400 to 1600 mg a day. Both times I got vertigo. The first time it took two weeks the second time 10 days. The anti-viral was working so k ha e to assume the virus is the cause of my Menieres, but Prednisone also worked. So the anti-viral worked because it attacked the virus an being on a maintained enceand stopped the I n inflammation. The Prednisone worked because it attacked the inflammation directly? Is that why in some.studies steroid injections have the same ah success rate as Gasek. I know JOH has said that the steroid injections are not attacking g the cause. But if people get steroid injections and have to go back to remain vertigo free how is that different than being on a maintainence dose of anti virals. Thoughts? JOH thoughts? a
If you are suppressing the vertigo symptoms, but not the actual virus, then you are still open to long term damage caused by the virus. It would be preferable to suppress the virus itself to eliminate that possibility.
In my experience it takes a while for the ear to heal. It happens gradually, not all in a day no matter what you do. For me it was a zigzag line, to steps forward and one back. Watch the trend, if it keeps going generally in the right direction keep doing what you are doing.
