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.
I was started on Dyazide about 2 weeks ago, this past week due to worsening of my dizzy spells, the doc upped it to 2 caps/day. I looked online about side effects of this medication & it seems like I have a few of them, which has caused me to miss all but 1 day of work in the last 2 weeks. I had a really bad dizzy spell yesterday & have had off/on spells all day today. I plan on calling the doctor tomorrow to see what other meds he might could recommend. Just wanted to know if there are any meds anyone has been on that seemed to really help w/the dizzy spells.
Thanks,

Hi there - I have menieres, and hearing loss. I take Serc x 3 a day, plus water tablets. I also at the start had to do excersises, something to do with teaching my balance. When the vertigo first hit, I had never experienced anything like it, but now I seem to be able to control it. I often have that feeling coming on, and there are things I am careful about like getting out of bed in the morning, its like Ihave to get my balance first before I just throw my head up. But, its fine. Good luck. :)

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...
