Getting Worse

I have been a support board user for another concern for some time and it has been a big help. I thought I would try a Menire's support board because I really would like more information for this disease which I have had for about 3 years. The first year I noticed the symptoms I was bounced around from doctor to doctor until one finally suspected Menires. I was sent to the Otology Group at Vanderbilt University where I got the definite diagnosis. I was told very little about what I could do about Menires other than ditch the salt and learn to relax. Wow, tough to do.

spin is me

Hello,
My first blog in here. Im glad that I found this forum. My story ...well I will keep it short.
11 Years ago,, diagnosed with unilateral menieres. (Lside). Tried many meds..including antidepressants. Nothing worked. 3 years into the disease my doctors decided it best to have a VNS (vestibular nerve section) done. I did. It was a very hard recovery and it probably took me close to a full year to walk on my own again. Am I glad I had it done.. YES!! It gave me my life back. But, still disabled to some degree.Won my disablity case. Which I am happy for.
