What is Meniere's disease?

Ménière's disease typically causes attacks of dizziness with a spinning sensation (vertigo), hearing loss and noises in the ear (tinnitus).

I have had this for 63 years and is really getting me down. I am nearly 79 and it seems to have got worse as I get older. I have cut out bacon, cheese, processed foods and bought a Ménière’s disease recipe book. I get all the symptoms you mention. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy x

My sister has menieres mostly caused by neck and jaw problems, no real help with it all. I had labyrinthitis in 2010 which left me unable to walk in a straight line, ruined my love of weekend walks, and terrified of stairs, even escalators, not sure what’s worse, it’s all pretty dreadful.

There are surgery options for Ménière’s disease, I had one which cured it, but left desf in that ear.Ten years later it started in other ear, has eased off after 9 years.just the terrible noises left

There is no cure. I’ve had it for over 3 years 😢

Hi Dr. are you still reading these comments. I'm pretty sure that I have Meniere's Disease. I haven't seen a Dr. to be Dx yet. Not sure what to do.
