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.
Hello I just discovered this forum I am 42 and started having MD symptoms at 19 when I got pg the first time, I finally got diagnosed t 25 at that time MD wasn't heard of really. I have 2 endolymphatic sac Decompressions a round of steriod shots a round of gentamicin shots and finally a Vestibular Nerve Section in May of 2017. I do still get attacks sometimes without the vertigo but I have a hard time walkimg straight so use a cane often and cant do a lot of chores and no bending or stooping. I am wondering if anyone else who has MD has had a hysterectomy but they left my ovaries this was last March. If you have, have you gone through or started to go through menopause yet and if you are does it make your MD worse?
i have MD and has my uterus out and my Ovaries still in. You did the Sac and you still has vertigo and have a hard time walking. My ENT wants me to do the Sac surgery and I told him that I does not want to but will read up on it. I am glad that I read your post. I am not going through menopause my doctor said as yet but I am 47 years old. You ask a goo question and I wish I knew the answer because one day I will be thinking like you.
Did the gentamicin shots reduce your hearing?
I'm sorry to hear that all this you went thru did not produce what you had hoped for. This can be a mysterious syndrome. I have it too, but have never gone for the procedures that you have.
It started for me in 2004 and has never gotten better.
