      Suffering with Meniere's since 1987

      Treatments

      Antivert Somewhat Helpful
      Drug was discontinued in Canada a number of years ago, switched to Serc
      Betahistine Working / Worked
      Works sort of, I guess, how sick would I be without it? Bad side effects on my stomach though.
      Lipo-Flavanoid Working / Worked
      I believe this is only available in the states, so I take it when I am in Vegas and bring some back.
      Low Salt Diet Working / Worked
      Haven't eaten salt in almost 20 years
    • Close Dizziness & Vertigo

      I have had Meniere's Disease since 1988 and have tried almost every medicine and health product available. I also suffer from intermittent attacks of BPPV Benign Paroxysml [sic] Positional Vertigo and have had the Epley Manouver done to CURE that problem with 100% success each time. Serc is my current treatment, along with Menrotab. If I can help anyone who may have questions, I would be pleased to do so.
