Meniere's Disease Support Group
Meniere's disease is a balance disorder of the inner ear. The symptoms of Meniere's are variable; not all sufferers experience the same symptoms. However, "classic Meniere's" is considered to comprise the following four symptoms: Periodic episodes of rotary vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a sensation of fullness or pressure in one or both ears.
Hi Everyone, It's been awhile since I've posted. I really don't know why but I do not get my Daily Strength notifications like I use to? Now into my 4th year of imbalance and wobbliness. Still not working or doing too much. Has been a struggle for sure. It has been a very long brutal winter here in Eastern Canada. Still snow on the ground. Has anyone tried Effexor or Venlafaxiene for there dizzies? It is normally used for depression but according to my current ENT in small doses can be used for vertigo related symptoms. I also know that the hot flashes effect my steadiness and I feel very weak when I have one which is about every two hours. :(
Bye for now.
Bye for now.
I don't alwasy check Daily Strength either. I'm two years with symptoms and one year since confirmed diagnosis. I have tried to stay off hte drugs as much as possible so I'm not familiar with either of these for dizziness. So far my vertigo is months in between attacks and the attacks are less than 2 hours so I've been handling it without meds. I only had two attacks that had me vomiting and down completely, so I feel fortunate. If they get more frequent or more severe, it would be good to know if these two drugs actually help. Keep us posted and try to enjoy your day.
