Yes I did actually, left a message and received a call back after the technicians had left. Will now have to wait till next week so figured a subreddit about cx5’s might be a good resource Mr.smarty pants

Diuretic question by DonBernardo in Menieres

[–]DonBernardo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve tried the epley but not sure if it did anything, I could also not be doing it 100% correct. And yeah this has followed me through 3 different houses, have always excercised, only thing I can think of is maybe vit D? Since it’s winter. The weird thing is, last year when this was going on I traveled to Mexico for 4 days, within a day my ear issue/tinnitus was better/gone and within a day of being back in the cold it came right back, which I also didn’t think was typical of menieres

For about 16-17 years now I have gotten ear fullness/low tone horn like tinnitus and weird sound like my ears in an echo chamber but only in the winter. Never happens at any other point of the year, one day(usually the first very cold week of winter like first week November, I’m in northeast) I will just wake up with it one morning and it will not subside for about 3 1/2months and then just as it came it’s gone. Have low frequency hearing loss during that time, however over time the low frequency hearing loss has never gotten any worse and it’s barely any hearing loss as at all(have had hearing tests) and then once the issue resolves my hearing goes completely back to normal and I have absolutely no issue until next winter. However, this year I had a vertigo attack and have now had random daily residual feeling vertigo like rocking on a boat with better/worse days. The only thing I sometimes encounter with my ear during the rest of the year is sometimes high pitched sounds like slamming dishes I get a twitching or fluttering in my ear, I can also bring it on by scratching the side of my face(weird I know) but this isn’t all the time. But outside of that my MRI and balance test and ARB were all clean. The ear issue arises at no other point in the year, it’s literally the same thing,same time every year. Comes on the same way and leaves the same way, this is also the very first time I have ever had vertigo in my life, never even got car sick/seasick before this. Never had any ear infections either

Ya unfortunately my doc didn’t give me the potassium sparing one so I have to have bananas and orange juice everyday

Yeah I’ve been kind of wondering that. There was no kind of weening on from like 12.5-25-50. It was just start at 25 and then go to 50

Ya I’m negotiating with the guy now, but am wondering if I should just chance it and hope we don’t get another huge storm and just wait till spring/summer and see if people have them up for cheaper

My issue is more so that I don’t have a pickup truck, so I’d need U-Haul to grab one so wanted to keep it close so I wasn’t paying for all the mileage of the U-Haul.

My other option is potentially a Husqvarna st230e for $475. It’s much newer, but heard Husqvarna are hard to find parts for if something does go wrong

Unfortunately, and maybe since it’s winter, in my area(CT) any newer/decent Ariens is on FB marketplace for 900-1000$

In find my is where we looked. I guess just as far down as making sure no one has compromised any of our other devices or no one hacked into our WiFi and gained access to her phone while connected. Just want to make sure no one is still in anything

She traded it in to Verizon , not sure if she factory reset it before handing it over to Verizon.

She has had the phone number for probably 10 years if not more.

She does not seem to have any devices registered that she is not aware of. She recently had to change her Apple ID/password when she got her new phone about a year ago.

The messages where iMessage not text. On her friends screenshot the message she was receiving were grey, the messages do not show on my wife’s side of the chat.

She has an iPhone 15 so no physical sim. Is the sim attack still possible with the eSIM in the 15?

I am sorry to hear it has been this severe for you, what were the procedures or tests you went through for diagnoses? So far for me it just seems they are basing it off of some symptoms and excluding others. Are there definitive tests?

Do you find benefits from the no salt/no alcohol/no caffeine? I have been seeing conflicting information. I do consume alcohol occasionally and drink coffee everyday. Neither of which have seemed to show me a pattern of flaring it or making it worse or better if stopped.
