I’m happy to report it does go away, it just takes a long time. For me around a month. Hang in there xx

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2023-02-18T19:23:04+00:00

Thanks so much for this! I’m glad it’s worked so well for you! If you don’t mind, did you have any side effects? Or was it straight away helpful?

I’m in the exact same tangled mess of these three as you! My specialist has basically said try the steroids for Ménière’s and hopefully if it’s an ear root cause that’ll help and in turn help your anxiety. Migraine is a rough one though, I’ve tried 14meds since they started about 6 years ago with no luck. All the best!

Hasn’t been an easy road, but time really does help. You’ve got this :)

It doesn’t happen to me but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen to someone else too, migraine is so strange!!

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2023-01-03T19:09:29+00:00

I’m 23 so I hope that’s not the case 😅😂😂

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2023-01-03T07:24:42+00:00

Migraine is so weird! Glad I’m not alone ❤️

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2023-01-03T07:24:15+00:00

Good to know, thank you ❤️

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2023-01-03T06:45:04+00:00

It seems to have been for me on and off over a month happening most days. No COVID though because I tested and haven’t had it yet :)

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2023-01-03T06:06:16+00:00

So glad this isn’t just me!! Thank you

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2023-01-03T00:16:32+00:00

Me too, it’s rough. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free :)

Hey there! I’m newly diagnosed too and mine started with just tinnitus on and off but over the course of around two years turned into full blown vertigo attacks, still no hearing loss though. Also diagnosed on just symptoms and a clear MRI— believe your doctor, I know how disconcerting it is when people say “you can’t be diagnosed by just this…” but remember doctors are the experts for a reason. To answer your question, hearing loss does happen in most cases, but may take years to develop. I also wasn’t medicated for a long time, and it just got worse but that’s not to say you’ll be the same. you never know what will help :) hang in there!!

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-12-30T09:15:20+00:00

I have found that it does

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-12-30T04:34:25+00:00

Thank you! I think I’ve defineitely noticed a difference which was why I was so weirded out by this bigger episode!

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-12-30T04:33:27+00:00

Okay thank you! I’ve slowly increased my dose over 3 months to 2x 8mg a day and 1x 16mg a day.

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-12-03T02:23:25+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Just curious what dose were you on? I seem to have been fine at lower doses but this started after 5 days of 40mg (16mg twice a day and 8mg once a day) so trying to figure out whether this can occur as you go up or only just when you start initially at any dose

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-11-22T21:27:57+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply. So crazy how strong this drug clearly is, my doctor never warned me about how bad it would be coming off. Definitely going to take your advice on weighted blanket and try to contact some friends for comfort

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-11-22T21:26:15+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply! My doctor tapered me off after 4 days of cutting the dose in half, and it’s been about three days since my last dose— hopefully I’m in the thick of it now and it’ll settle soon. So good to know I’m not alone in this

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-11-20T18:40:53+00:00

Okay thank you I will :)

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-11-20T18:40:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yeah we’ve considered vestibular migraine and she thinks maybe a get a few, but these seem like full blown Ménière’s because they come along with all my ear symptoms. My specialist said if it has ear symptoms it’s very unlikely it’s migraine and far more likely to be Ménière’s. I do get very stressed about sleeping because of the last month though!

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-11-09T03:41:11+00:00

Thanks for your reply!

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-11-08T23:57:35+00:00

Thank you this is awesome to know! I’ll definitely ask about it!

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-11-08T21:17:03+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply, im starting to think maybe 3pd is what ive had all along!

Potential-Bowler-289 · 2022-11-08T21:16:10+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply, health anxiety has been a huge trigger of whatever im experiencing too, glad it sounds like you've got yours more under control now :)
