@estrada53 Thanks for this information I'm glad you are safe Haven't tried Lipo -flavonaid Will get some payday My problem now is the vertigo I have done the ear exercises but they haven't helped this so I don't know what to that think.

I have had Meniere's since my early 40's (now 58). The severe dizziness and nausea has subsided but I have lot almost all of the hearing in that ear. Trying a one sided hearing aid but still not able to discern sound location and speech clarity. Are you having luck with your bi-cross hearing aids? Meniere's has a lot of challenges to work through. I had lost a lot of hearing in my affected ear and then had a sudden onset of almost all hearing about a year and half ago. This has really been a challenge. Feel disoriented and slightly uncoordinated. Hard to explain. Open for suggestions.

I have had no episodes since totally stopping caffiene. No sodas, no coffee, no tea.... no caffeine period.

Hi there, what exercises are you referring to? And , did you give up driving completely ? I am
Scared to drive.

What are bicross hearing aides?

Can you tell me where I can find the exercises you refer too??????
I would try them without a doubt. Thank you

I'm 52 yr old male, MD started about 4 years ago. The first year was rough, had multiple vertigo episodes. Ringing in my right ear was very loud for about 6 months. I used a cream called Promethazine that I rubbed on my wrist and it would stop the nausea and help me sleep. I too changed my diet and most of it went away. I went gluten free and that helped a lot. I also watch my sugar intake of "fake" sugars. You need calories so I use real sugar or natural additives. I tried the stay off salt thing and felt like dying because I was scared to eat anything. I lost 40 lbs in about 3 months because labels scared me. Then one day I said the heck with that and ate a whole pizza and nothing happened. So for me, salt is not an issue. Actually, your body has to have salt to survive. I use a product called Real Salt. Caffeine does make me feel more tight in my head sometimes because it constricts the blood vessels. Haven't had a vertigo attack in 4 yrs, thank God. I am dizzy at some point during the day, but nothing too bad to affect my everyday life. If I'm feeling real tight in my head, it's usually allergies and I take some Sudafed or Advil and that helps. I try to stay active and keep the blood going. Your mental attitude is 100% crucial to live a normal life. You have to move everyday and get going. Hot showers help get my head clear in the mornings. Try to eat small meals throughout the day. If find eating too much at one setting is not good. I eat mostly healthy foods, organic when I can. STRESS is a killer! You have to learn not to take life so seriously. Stress makes my head feel full. I'm a believer in God and that helps me to calm down and know he is in control. I also get a little loopy when I don't get enough sleep. I find that staying on a routine as much as possible helps a lot. I had ringing in my right ear and a little still today. I finally lost hearing in that ear. I have five children and a wife at home and it was getting harder to hear them. So I got a hearing aid and it's been a game changer for me. It was expensive, $3,500 for one. But, it has helped me hear so much better! I don't have balance issues any more and it muffles the ringing so I don't even hear it anymore unless its really quiet, even then it's minimal. It's also help my sanity when in noisy rooms to be able to know where the sound is coming from. The ear doctor told me that they are seeing patients more and more that don't fix their hearing with aids having dementia later in life because they had one ear doing all the work for years and the brain just can't handle that forever. Doctors are great to help you diagnose your issue, but from what i've experienced you have to find a lifestyle that works for you. So for me....cut out stress, find a support group in a church, family, work....eat as healthy as you can and use real salt, but have some tea or ice cream every once in awhile if you can tolerate it. Try going gluten free or dairy free....don't eat anything out of a box or processed can food....stay away from high fructose corn syrup.... get a routine going.....walk, run, play.....laugh! Everyone has some type of aliment in their life, we are not alone, we were just the lucky ones to have MD! Hope this encourages whoever reads this that it does get better and if you do have bad days, it's not the end of the world and you are not going to die! Be strong, life is a gift.
