- Except for the tinnitus, I have almost been able to forget that I have Meniere's Disease except that my balance. When I walk I look drunk unless I have someone to hold on to. My balance makes me look and act much older since I can't walk very...
- I just found out that my youngest granddaughter is believed to have selective mutism. Although she talks to family and friends, at school she speaks through other kids--she is 11 and has done this for three years. She saw a therapist for another...
- My MIL died just over two years ago and for the last six months of her life, I was her hospice nurse and I have to tell you why it was so stressful besides the fact that a woman I had loved for many years was dying. Her granddaughter could not help...
- My baby brother (that's how I will always think of him) will be 66 next month and has been married for more than 40 years and has one child and five grandchildren. About 8 years ago he began having strokes and is unable to use his right side very...
- Today I was walking from my car to Costco. Lately my balance has been off, I am short and I am 68--but a man asked me if I wanted to use his handicapped cart when he returned it. I almost burst into tears! Perhaps I was rude to him when I said...
- My husband is a type 2 diabetic and suffers from depression which means our sex life if pretty much G rated. He started seeing a new psychiatrist seven weeks ago who says there are only three antidepressants that don't cause ED and he's on one on...
- I had to quit taking my dyazide a few months ago because it apparently causes pancreatitis is some people. Now the pancreatitis is back and my doctor, my PCP, took away my new diuretic and said not to take any hydrochlorothiazide--he seemed...
- I have been doing really good lately and have not had nystagmus or vertigo in 8 weeks. Although I am happy about this, I have still got the tinnitus and the unsteadiness as well as the fullness. My husband, however, said "oh good--let's plan a...
- I was taking a medication which drove both my Lipase and Amylase to dangerous levels. After I switched drugs, the Lipase is only 5 points out of normal and my Amylase is only 155. I have had a CT scan and it shows nothing dangerous and I am content...
- I have had a bad two weeks, much of it due to stress and have spent many hours in bed. Please confirm that while this may go on forever, it may stop tomorrow with nothing unusual at all except the ever present tinnitus and ear pressure. I can...
- I have had a really rough week and have had to go back to bed with my meds for five days of the last seven. Although my husband knows that there is really nothing else I can do, he gets so upset when I get sick. Not angry, just upset---tells me to...
- Saturday I had a bad vertigo with nystagmus attack and as I lay on the bed trying not to move a muscle, my husband was asking what do you usually do when this happens. I told him I needed meclizine, xanax (since I am out of valium), and a...
- DH started on Invocacana since his numbers have been rising as has his amount of insulin (he's up to 75 units). How long should it take before he sees a significant change? What changes should he notice first?
- I have been on Medicare for three years and before my sign up time I received so much mail--and amazing amount. My brother turned 65 in November and is still not signed up, claims he has received nothing, and does not appear at all concerned about...
- I was diagnosed with Menieres 8 years ago. Right now I'm on a diuretic with valium, phenergan and meclizine to be used as required and it is required more and more often.On the 19th of December I had a cortisone injection in my bad ear--the one...
