i've been getting attacks of severe vertigo since september. i went to the ent office to go through balance testing. the tech told me that chart readings from my eyes are going crazy, which are signaling that my inner ears are going crazy. we talked for a bit. she said that it can't be meniere's as the symptoms and stuff don't exactly match. for some of you who know about my deafness, i was born that way due to rubella (german measles), that my mom had while she was pregnant with me. i was just curious if anyone has experience because i'm doubting that this test is going to come to a conclusive answer. i hate being a medical mystery. i baffle docs all the time, even with all the tests i go through.

I had a book like this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Inner-Ear-Bala.../dp/1419618377

which helped me feel better about my Meniere's. The last time I saw the ENT he confused me telling me I didn't have "true" Meniere's :-)

I still get the nystagmus occasionally still, even though my Meniere's has been "over" for more than 15 years.

i dont know what i have but i have a terrible inner ear problem...i cant sleep on my back because my head gets lower than my body and everything 'turns upside down" and i have to sit still the whole day trying to feel better and fix it...even though the sloshy brain wacking against the sides of ur head dont go away right away

Do you have any antivert? It usually helps with the dizzyness. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

Hugs,

i take meclizine. but, sometimes, it's too severe for it to work. i have even changed my diet to make this better: no caffeine, very low sodium, and no sugar..... the dietary changes doesn't do the trick.
