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 guys! I found a resource that might be helpful. I have a Meniett device I use (no idea if it helps, but I use it anyway just in case I would be worse without it). It's made by a company named Medtronics. If you go to their website and click on "patients" on the top bar, then you will get a screen with two menu boxes. Choose the one on the right (it's greenish) and scroll down to Meniett Therapy. Click on that and then choose the "Living With the Therapy" button. On that page in the right hand column you will see a link: Tools for you and your doctor. Click on that link and you will see a pdf download for a symptoms diary. I hope this may be helpful to some. Have a stable and solid day!
I looked it up and printed it off. I would love to see what food/drugs were ingested on the same chart... But it is a good place to start.
As for the chart you mentioned, I would add "tinnitus, balance, and (head) pressure to the list of symptoms. As was said, it's a good start though.
That having been said, I would add that we must try to think of other things to keep our minds occupied and off the MD. An absorbing novel, a lifelong project, write a book, do some puzzle solving, are some suggestions. Think of your own, to redirect your brain waves.
