I had full on Meniere's disease for 3 years - I tried everything they threw at me and nothing worked. The episodes of vertigo were extremely debilitating, and my life closed in around me as activities and events (esp loud noises), driving, things that I could do before, were dwindling down to the walls of my house being as far as I wanted to go. I opted for the full dose gentamicin treatment delivered into my inner ear and I did that twice. Yes, I lost 80% hearing in that ear (remedied with hearing aid) but you know what? I haven't had a vertigo attack in 10 months since that treatment. I have my life back, I drive, I plan activities, I have confidence that I can come and go and not be knocked down with a sudden, unexpected vertigo attack that left me on my hands and knees praying for death. Pros of gentamicin are no more vertigo, the cons are you lose significant hearing in that ear - I chose to lose my hearing in one ear in exchange for being able to live my life freely without fear again, I do not regret it one bit.

I've been diagnosed with Meniere two days ago after a MRI hydrops. I've got vertigos all the day and constant tinnitus in my right ear. I feel depressed and lonely. I was prescribed treatments to alleviate the symptoms but when I read some scientific comments about them, they cause more side effects than benefits. Therefore... The nightmare has begun for me. I can't dance, I can't run. I can't. Thank you for your comment. 🙏 from France 🇨🇵

@@idaloup6721 yes, it is unfortunately - here in the states Meniere's is misdiagnosed every day and people suffer for years trying everything they can think of and there is no reason to suffer. I've had ignorance from ambulance drivers, nurses, doctor's, there is not enough empathy and paths of being cured for the percentage of people suffering from this insidious disease. There are different doses of gentamicin, either given all at once and suffering hearing loss or given once a week in small doses and that dissipates the percentage of loss in that ear.. talk to an Otology Specialist, he/she can offer you options. I opted for full dose all at once because I don't live near the specialist I wanted and weekly drives were impossible.

I have had menieres most of my life . I’m in my 30’s and had it since childhood. Anyway never been diagnosed officially but I manage it like everyone who has menieres does. I even made a KZbin video about it. Just recently found I have genetic haplotype and CIRS. So I’m thinking this is why my menieres has been undiagnosed by ENT “specialists” because it’s autoimmune versus general causation of menieres . My haplotype is the dreaded 4-5-53 I’m trying to understand this genetic component more if anyone has some insight I manage my menieres effectively as I researched a lot as a child when no one could help me/ believe me or give me a diagnosis The reason ENTS don’t believe I have menieres is because I still have my hearing

I can be still and suddenly the room is spinning, nystagmus is happening I think, etc. I do have mild tinnitus I think it's both ears, but so far no hearing loss I don't think, but recently also have been feeling pressure like on a plane but just in my own house. I don't know what it is. Blood pressure is fine, etc no other symptoms that I can think of.

Im only 27 and I was recently diagnosed with this disease however when i get vertigo or diziness its much more brief, i get the sense that im falling backwards suddenly which upsets the balance of my entire body, the ringing in my ears is a constant and different lighitng and movement upsets it for sure.. Ive noticed the effects of caffeine and smoking intensifing the issues greatly and have stopped both completely but no let ups on the episodes yet. Im wondering if anyone else doesnt get the full 20minutes of vertigo but flashes of diziness and vertigo whether im walking, sitting down or even trying to sleep which can then lead to pretty extreme panic attacks?.. I can keep my mind calm during these attacks but any feedback or advice would be appreciated its exhausting and any help is welcome
