Hey! Just wanted to introduce myself. I am pretty new to the online group
thing but ready to jump right in...

My name is Brenda and I was diagnosed with Menieres Disease about a month ago.
I have to say that first attack was probably the scariest experience I have ever
had. I was at work (luckily in a hospital) and everything started to spin. Then
came the sweating from head to toe and finally the never ending vomiting. I
didn't know what was going on with me. I thought things like "is this what a
heart attack feels like?" "am I going to die?" I really just didn't have a clue
as to why the spinning wouldn't stop. After being in the ER for over 5 hours,
they sent me home with meds and an appointment with an ENT doctor. You know the
rest after that.

I am 30 years old, married and have twin babies that will be turning 1 year next
month. I have many questions and fears and am hoping that finding a community
of people that have the same disease I have will help.
