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.
Well this is 3rd one, he says my ringing and pressure in ears is part of having meniere's, I do not hear many people here talk about the pressure much thats the worst for me, he said it could be crystels that fall off the tiny hairs in our ears plugging it up its just my right ear, he gave me exercises to do with my head and eyes,and some steriod pills, I really just feel they do not understand ,I take xanx when bad and for vertigo and it helps ,I am now having more migraines and my neuro said it from the stress the pressure is putting on my ears ,any one have any suggestions.I would truly appreciate any help ,thank you. hugs to all that suffer with this.
It sounds as if you are not going to the right specialists. Yes, I had severe fullness in the left ear. Simplifying an extensive, complicated path... I went to the Meniere's specialists at the House Ear Clinic in LA and had the shunt operation. The fullness has abated and is sometimes there, but not in the rigorous way it had been in the past. I figured out my triggers, etc. by keeping a journal. But, my first step for improving was finding the right specialists. Of course, I got better only because I became very aggressive finding out my triggers. I am a firm adherent to the Meniere's Diet, exercise, and staying positive (easier said than done, huh.). Please find the right specialist. Perhaps you can contact the House Ear Clinic directly and start there. They have a website. Don't know where you live, but they might be able to recommend a Meniere's Disease Specialist in your area if you are unable to see them.
Hugs back to you...hope I helped in some small way.
One more thing, prednisone (steroid) didn't help me at all.
