Dizziness & Vertigo Support Group
Dizziness is the sensation of instability. Vertigo refers to dizziness with a sensation of motion. Vertigo is more likely than other types of dizziness to be associated with nausea, vomiting, or double vision, to occur even when lying down, and to feel better with the eyes closed.

Can anyone enlighten me on the diference between menieres and layrinthits?
Recently diagnosed with menieres but previously told I had labyrinthitis or BPPV!
Do others find diagnosis confusing?

My Dr. told me that menieres is not positional. Also with menieres you would definatley have some hearing loss. But I can't be sure anymore because, like you, I am confused. I get the feeling even the doctors don't have a clue what they are dealing with. I am ready to seek the advice of a specialist above an ENT. Quality of life is just gone.

Diagnosis is very difficult with vestibular issues. I've been told I have Meniere's, BPPV, and migraine associated vertigo...and I've also had a doctor admit that they just aren't completely sure what I have. In the end, I guess you just have to pick the one that fits most of your symptoms and try the treatments for it. If it works, great! If it doesn't, go on to something else.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
