Hello all. I am new to Menieres (2 months since onset) and new to this forum. I have experienced all symptoms of MM except for vertigo. ENT advises vertigo could be around the corner. Dizziness and nausea when ear pressure increases. Largely constant feeling of fullness and pressure that fluctuates between full and very full. Tinnitus fluctuates between a severe high tone (accompanied by sensitivity to sound) and a lower tone rumble and roar. Loss of hearing in the low range. Bilateral. Left is my good ear, right is the worst. I'm 33, a lawyer and mom of young children. My life has been turned on it's head. Holding onto God who is my hope in this life and for heaven. I've been prescribed Serc and Prochlorazine. I am not a good pill taker so Serc being 3x daily 6-8 hours apart is almost impossible for me. I've read through this forum and learned of JOH and the idea that MM could be a recurring viral issue. I've seen Benny Hill's vitamins. Went out and purchased both regimens and have been using for a few days. Thinking of asking my doctor for valtrex. I am aware this could also be a TMJ or upper cervical spine alignment issue, but I think it's very unlikely for me. I also have a sneaking suspicion that autoimmunity may be at play here. I have another diagnosed autoimmune condition (Ankylosing Spondylitis) and there is a load of autoimmune conditions in my family including MS, Lupus, and Hashimoto's. I have had about as extensive a blood work up done that the Canadian system can offer and everything comes up good. MRI is clean. I'm about to pay for a private genetic test to see if I have any issues with genetic mutations that might lead to deficiencies in vitamins etc. basically looking under every rock because as you all know, MM is terrible and I seriously need some relief and hope. So that's my background, but the real point of this thread is to let you all know that I have started the Wahls Protocol (1 week in) and I am hopeful it could provide some relief in the long run if my MM is truely an autoimmune issue. I bought the book years ago and did not have the willpower to stick with the diet and lifestyle changes. Well I definitely have the willpower now friends. For those who do not know what the Wahls Protocol is, it's a diet designed by a doctor of internal medicine who has MS. Terry Whals' MS progressed to the point that she was in a zero gravity wheelchair. She began researching study after study about the nature of MS and it's modalities. Using her diet and special rehab program she was able to walk again, continues to work at her hospital, swims, bikes, hikes etc. Wahls Protocol is not only an elimination diet. It is based on the Paleo diet, but includes high enough quantities of very nutrient dense foods in order to give your body what it needs to heal - so eating the majority of the vitamins and minerals you need rather than taking loads of supplements. And you will need to bring your appetite because there is alot of eating to do. The diet has been through clinical trials and the results Terry Wahls achieved have been replicated in study participants. I believe that our bodies are a deeply integrated system. So I'm going to try giving my body what it needs and take away the things that could be harming it. I'll be committing to this way of eating and intend to resume my previous exercise routine with some modifications. I used to weight train and I've recently bought a rebounder for lymphatic benefits (though right now jumping sounds like a bad dizzy idea). So I'll update you all along the way. I'm happy to be the autoimmune theory test subject here. Everyone suffering from MM is in my prayers. I serve a good God and I certainty have no control over this terrible MM, but I know nothing can separate me from his love. I pray he shows me the way out of this and in the meantime that I would have the patience, faith and strength to endure. God bless all.
