I just read something in Yahoo answers that I'm curious about. A man on there said he has MM and that he has occasional bouts of anger, and that's it a side...
Hi, Laurie - Anger is certainly not a "symptom" of Meniere's, but any chronic illness or condition that limits our lives and causes us pain and stress surely...

Hey guys and gals, I was wondering from everyones stand point...I realize everyone's situation is different, but how do those of you who are married and...
... reread what that guy had said and he also talked about impatience, so that's probably where I got that idea. I've never heard that depression is...
How many of you with MM can fly? My doctors have told me since I was diagnosed that I was ABSOLUTELY POSITVELY NEVER TO FLY. Do any of you fly with MM? If so,...

Hi Jennifer, Like Penny says, we have to go on with our lives as best we can. My daughter (now recently pregnant) lives in Brussels. If I plan to see my...
I appreciate everyones kinds words and support about flying. It amazes me that those of you fly AND have MM. It's amazing to me I guess. My ENT has me...
Penny, My ears don't pressureize at all, that's why I get terribly sick when a low pressure system rolls in, when the humidity is high, any cold, allergy, flu...
Penny, I am very careful about my meds. They have never (knock on wood) caused me to have any type of hearing loss. I have taken Vicodin with no problems for...

Hi Karen, Thanks for the reply. I know what you mean about thinking about the illness all the time. It's hard to forget when it's always reminding you it's...
This is somewhat not related to the MM but I am so excited I needed to tell someone and ask all of you to keep your fingers crossed. I applied for a Dog for...
Hey everyone, I was just wondering if heat affects your Menieres at all? My symptoms have been really bad for the last several days, and it has been hot here...
Hi Jennifer, Flying used to cause severe pain in my right ear. Since I lost all balance in that ear it doesn't bother me! I fly two or three times a year. This...

Thanks for your kind words Sharon, they mean alot to me. Yes, I need a dog for the Deaf. I don't hear the alarm clock, oven timer, microwave, smoke detector or...
Hey Paul, You are so lucky to be able to fly, I am jealous. I bet you've seen some really beautiful places. My biggest wishes are to see Alaska, Japan and...
Have you considered the train or possibly driving? You should not deny yourself the delight of traveling because you cannot fly. Even Oprah did a cross country...
Hi Jennifer, I travel as an Official for USA Swimming and FINA. FINA is a once in a lifetime opportunity I'm very excited about! I will only be on their list...
Paul, When u say years ago when you would fly it would bother you, exactly what bothered you? What happened, did your symptoms get worse, did you end up with a...
