- Hey guys! I am now 6 weeks post op after vestibular nerve section. While it hasn't been easy I have hit the point where I no longer have vertigo and am starting to regain parts of my life I had given up due to the disease. I am back to driving,...
- After 5 days in the hospital I have been discharged. I had right vestibular nerve section. Recovery has been hard work. Each day I can do a little bit more. Hopefully tonight I will be able to sleep all night without getting vitals checked...
- Well Thursday morning is almost here and that's the morning I am going in for a vestibular nerve section. I've met with all my doctors and today I meet with the anesthiaologist to review all that stuff and make sure my heart can handle the surgery....
- I saw my doctor for the 4th time in 3 months and also saw another well known neurotologist while home in Phoenix. Both doctors told my husband and I that I had run out of new options for improving my symptoms. After talking with my husband and...
- Any one else feeling a little depressed, angry, and lonely?
- I know random! As some of you in Florida know we have seriously hard yucky tasting water. My husband wants to get a system but it uses salt. The sales guy says that thru osmosis the salt is taken out. I am doing everything possible to keep...
- After feeling like I had my life back for about 5 months the vertigo and misery that comes with it has come back. I have seen my doc 3 times in the past few months. We started with increasing meds, then steroid shot in my ear, and today I broke...
- Hey Florida and Meniere's have not been the best combo for me :) My doc has mentioned in the future I might want to consider Vestibular Nerve Section where I would have the balance nerve cut but still keep my hearing. I was wondering if anyone had...
- I kind of disappeared for awhile. We moved from Rhode Island to Florida. The stress of the move definitely played havoc with my bad ear. Fortunately we are all moved in and stress level is getting better. My oldest came home from football camp...
- For 10 days I felt like crap. The vertigo the nausea headaches and vision changes. I really thought I was just going thru a really bad spell. I felt so sick my husband took me to the ER on Sunday just so I could get so IV meds and fluids. A...
- After I had surgery in January I was so horribly miserable I thought I had made the biggest mistake by having the surgery. I was pretty much bed bound for 3 weeks and only left the house to pick the kids up the other 3 weeks. I was sick and...
- Well this morning is my 3 month post op for Endolyphatic Sac Decompression surgery. Since the 6 week mark I've been doing pretty darn well. This past week though I have wound up in the ER twice with vision problems including eye lid drooping. ...
- I have started having issues with my right eye - same side as my bad ear. The doctors think it might be neurological but so many things can be explained with Menieres I was wondering if anyone else has experienced an eye problem? Thanks!!!Leslie
- I know my ENT tells me bilateral Menieres is rare and he rarely sees it I sometimes wonder if I am starting to get bilateral. I wonder if I am just almost imagining it because I'm worried about it happening to me. I'll occasionally get tinnitus...
- Just to give everyone a little background my husband is a Navy pilot and we are currently stationed in Newport, RI for this year. Ironically this small base has some of the best docs compared to bigger ones! We are moving in just 4 months - yikes!...
