My Meniere’s Diagnosis

Time to find out What’s Going On

After my second vertigo attack I knew I had to find out what was going on. I was now terrified of that coming back. It haunted my dreams. I bought a pill carrier for my keychain and put the Meclizine in there. I read for hours online and found a description of this disorder called Meniere’s Disease. It said that the main symptoms were pressure or fullness in one or both ears, loss of hearing in one or both ears, tinnitus or roaring in one or both ears, dizziness and occasional bouts of severe vertigo. My jaw was on the floor as I read peoples descriptions of their experiences in the forum at the menieres.org forum. I found people there describing what I had experienced and had not yet found a WAY to describe.

I called and scheduled a regular physical at my General Practitioners.

I described what I’d been experiencing. At that point the roaring in my ears had gotten to be quite severe at times. (I recall one night it was as though I could hear someone playing jazz guitar in amidst that sound. I guess my brain was bored.) I was given a longer prescription for the meclizine and another allergy medicine to try as well as a referral to an allergist.

Time to visit an allergist and try to get my allergies under control
