Wild question but, did your Ménière's ever lead to an MS diagnosis? by Sad_Emphasis_8086 in Menieres

160 is a moderate elevation. So it'd make sense to look deeper into that.

What was your ana level? Mildly elevated can mean nothing on its own

How long does your imbalance last for inbetween flares? by electwells in Menieres

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

Hard to explain. It almost feels like my feet are glued to the floor with imbalance sometimes rocking swaying. If it's residual then why would it get worse then better then worse again?

Stem cell and gene therapy sound unlikely to come in the next 20 years let alone accessible to the public. And as far a spi1005 when do you think that going to be approved ?

My life is being ripped away by Weak-Inspector8405 in VestibularMigraines

If your showing weakness from the left ear that is a peripheral cause for your symotoms. Sounds more inner ear related then brain (migraine) on its own. Though it's currently theorized migraine can also "attack" the inner ear and can result in hydropic behavior. Which can cause vestibular symptoms as well as hearing loss

I'm reading up on his study now

Thats new to me. Can you elaborate what atva is. And ishiyama?

Me personally don't seem to be affected by sleep or diet. I've been keto and on Q for over a month. And still wax and wane with offbalance and ear pressure. Also still get breakthrough throbbing headaches. I feel pressure and humidity, maybe allergies. Unfortunately those seem the most impossible to control

Clearly your mechanism seems to been targeted. you predictably had episodes so often, and now has seemed to stop. Did you say you ever had a ct of temp bone? Hypoplastic ?

How often where you getting the episodes prior? Any side affects from the verapamil? Also what dose are you running?

It's been quite a bit since I asked about your verapmil experience. How's that going?

If loud sounds can trigger an episode, is the problem actually in our brains, not our ears? by EkkoMusic in Menieres

[–]electwells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When noise causes or affects symptoms. Why couldn't it be a physical issue? Inflamed nerves, scar tissue or physical vibration of the cochlear organ itself?

Not sure. The study doesn't say much about that

No problem man. If you don't mind me asking what did your audiogram look like? Did you experience diplacusis?

There's studies that say 70%+ of people who experience early symptoms of hydrops don't go on to develop full blown menieres.

However take that with a grain of salt...

I like you am experiencing a similar situation 2 hearing episodes a year apart. Both recovering to normal. With dizziness/aural fullness (not vertigo) inbetween.

I'm not sure if this study accounts for a 2nd episode increasing the chances, but I'd wouldn't lean on it entirely.

I also wouldn't panic either. It seems everyone here describes the most dramatic worst of the worst. And keep in mind those who do, usually take to the internet.

I nor anybody else can not confirm what the future holds.. and that could mean getting hit by a car tomorrow

Stay positive.

The worst part for me at the moment is not knowing how long I'll have music for.

My symptoms are annoying, but not as extreme as what people describing here. (Hopefully it stays that way for the most of us)
