@lacy2 Didn't see anything about what's been recommended to you medically, if anything. As a longtime Meniere's disease sufferer, I still like antivert for vertigo and a diuretic for excess fluid retention. My tinnitus has worsened since I'm no longer able to take a diuretic. The greatest symptom reliever is reduced salt intake. Based on my experience only, I'm absolutely convinced there's a connection between fluid in the ear, tinnitus, and vertigo.

Reply to Trishanna: Lots of Menierians believe that exercise helps reduce excess fluids, i.e., sweating. If nothing, else, it makes you feel good about yourself. I know that doing something far more active than usual always reduces fluids, even reduces the random "water" noises I hear sometimes from my ears.

@trishanna Nope, not fluid in the ear. There are tiny hairs in our inner ears that get "bent over" and thus tinnitus is the result. That's a very un-medical description of what my neurologist and ENT told me. It's available for research on the internet.

Thank you for your response
