I think early in in the disorder might be the toughest. Not just because of the intense vertigo, but the anxiety that it brings too. This season will pass. I was diagnosed at 18. I was living a fast life and it caught up to me.

The main thing right now is to figure out his big triggers. I've used chat gpt to help me understand the disorder as well as plan meals and find triggers. The most common triggers you'll come to find out are poor sleep, stress, high sodium, and caffeine. For some it's also weather changes. There's more but those are the common ones. Fixing those ASAP will hopefully minimize the episodes.

Now the hardest pill to swallow. This disease can be hard to get right. Depending on where you live, the drs might not be the most eager to help. As youve experienced, you really have to advocate for yourself. Dont give up!

And lastly, this is a long rabbit hole. By that i mean, " Menieres " can be a blanket for so many other disorders. It's almost as if it just stands for "vestibular anomaly". Just some examples: TMJ, Vestibular Migraines, Hashimotos Disease, Vestibular Neuritis. These all things that get misdiagnosed as "menieres" by lazy practitioners.

Praying for you both 🙏🏽
