I have some confussion about this disease. I have had meniere's disease for
going on 4 years now. I have been through the ups the downs the what happens
when i do this or did i really knock myself out for that long? but today has
been baffling to me. There are no people in my area that i can talk to about
this other than my cousin Chimane but she is getting married and i dont want to
bog her down with this. And she's just as new to it as i am. in fact we were
diagnosed 2 months apart. anyways here is what has got me so baffled.

This morning i woke up with a rather strange feeling in my head. almost like a
headache. But it wasnt a headache. as the morning went on i began to feel sicker
and sicker but i just couldnt tell if i was dizzy if i was having an attack or
if i just had a headache. i of course lost my cookies several times today. it
was begining to get old in my book and i was getting alittle upset that i
couldnt shake it. i am not sure still what hit first but i ended up extreamly
dizzy all day. still am dizzy. bad. I havent been able to keep much down at all
today and my stomic is hurtin from the throwing up and now i know my head hurts
from the throwing up and the strain and the stress of trying to keep myself
balanced all day. when i knew that it was an attack was when i was at walmart
shopping. i cant walk in the store because i promised the manager that i would
use the electric cart because i have a tendency of walking through the store and
knocking down displays because of my balance. it is quite comical to watch me
walk in walmart i do have to say! but every half isle i had to stop for almost 5
minutes because i started to get sick to my stomic and started feeling like i
was going to loose my cookies right there. i have been sitting down the rest of
the day but i can feel that it is still getting to me. i bought some Dramamine
with Meclizine in it and it is helping me. but what has me baffled i have never
had a dizzy attack hit me like this ever. is it something i did to cause it, is
it from the stress i am dealing with? i have tried to keep it at a down low. I
dont eat salt and i keep my sodium count down low. I dont drink soda anymore, i
dont eat potato chips anymore. i am having to drink Gatoraid now because i have
been throwing up all day and i need the electrolites in it. but i dont know what
to do with this one. has anyone had one of these before and is there anything i
can do to ease it so that i dont end up sleeping for 4 days?

can someone help me or just well i need someone to just be there. like i said i
have no one here in my state or town that has this disease so it is hard for me
to deal with it alone.

someone help?
