hi ive been sufferingwith menieres disease for 3 years and would like to try and help anyone else who may suffer from this frustrating illness
my syptoms buzzing in the ear which starts to get worse over the first few days this is my early sign of a attack .
then over the next few days i will feel more and more fatigued ...fatigue is with me most of the time though it gets worst leading up to an attack
sleepiness and irratable ,not being able to think straight
sometimes heat like surroundings can make it worse central heating or hot places i tend to feel alot worse ,
the dizzyness starts to come in head movements and eyes not moving with the head movements
thus creating a timelaps between the to
this is were you should lay down and sleep ..,sleep is one of my best cures ,even though i hate doing it because with an attack sleeping is all i do
sickness if i dont sleep i will useally vomit ..iknow its not very nice butt this is caused by the dizzyness
the tablets im prescribed areprochlorperazinemaleate.
these sometimes help but not on all occasions
rest is of the upmost importance also i was given excercises which help to control the dizzyness by a hearing specialist these are of great help and i do recommend highly to help the situation
i have been told a operation could be done but this is just for my half hearing loss due to menieres
but i now am gonna take the operation and hope it may help towards getting menieres out of my life a bit
as for all you sufferes out there this disease
has truly taken alot of my life and happiness away from me i dont mean to sound depressing but this is just what it has done
my daily routine is...
a struggle to get out of bed drive to work i am a decorater
start work with hardly any energy
around 2 oclock not much energy at ll drive home but feel totally fatigued
get in have my dinner and by 7.30 so tired i have to sleep ..wake up about 10.30 then a drink of tea and then to bed to start the day all over again no matter how much sleep i have i never feel refreshed ...this is the most important thing in menieres with out sleep id be sick dizzy and pass out ..in my opinion
i hope one day they find a cure for this menieres ..
and finally my said omething to me a year ago about my mineres disease
we were talking and she said........i just want my den back ......thats how much it has changed my life .
and i hope this info ive given helps anyone else who may be sufferng this disease
