I too believe my Meniere's is allergy related. I have
been keeping a journal for about three months now to
see if there is any pattern, when it appears to be
worse. I live in MS and right now the pollen count is
very high and I have been sick for the majority of
February and now March is worse. I hope that I will
one day awaken and this thing will be gone again. I
say again, because I suffered as a child from about
age until I was in my early teens. Then it started
back at age 23, as I stated in an earlier posting, I
am now 40.

I do admit that being able to communicate with people
who understand what I am going through has helped me
tremendously.
