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.
Bono we really need your help..
We are speaking on behalf of the millions of people, worldwide, who suffer lifetimes filled with constant vertigo from a little known and very misunderstood disease known as Menieres disease.
Menieres disease steals lives, leaving those left unable to function as they once did. Many are reduced to bystanders to their own existence, unable to work, drive, and attend family gatherings or simply play with their kids. Menieres causes dizziness, severe vertigo, tinnitus, sensitivity to light and sounds and other normal everyday activities. Menieres attacks leave the sufferer so dizzy and unable to walk or balance with even the slightest movement bringing hours of nausea and vomiting. If that wasnt enough, most Menieres sufferers develop hearing loss and many go completely deaf. Yet Menieres remains relatively unknown and dramatically underfunded when it comes to research dollars.
We are respectfully asking you Bono and your U2 band mates to read the thousands of heartbreaking stories below and then consider helping us to raise awareness about this debilitating disorder. We are asking for 'one' simple statement before you sing your song Vertigo during your 2015 concert tour. A simple:
We need to find a cure 'now' for the millions who suffer lives filled with vertigo and deafness caused by Menieres Disease. would work wonders for us.
So please do this for us..

Though my Vertigo is not bad. I have had it where I could not get off the ground.
This is a highly unknown disease most people don't know about. It will take a famous person that has it, to get others to pay attention to it.
