Erin -- I'm a new member here, but thought I'd give you my thoughts. It sounds to me like you have an allergy-related problem that may involve inner ear...
I do not have tinnitus (except for a ringing in the ears for a couple of minutes at a time--like all people, I'm sure). But my hearing just isn't up to snuff....
Hi there Steve- i believe i know exactly what you are talking about in regards to the allergy correlation. YOu say you have controlled you rmeniere's symptims...
Good Day Joey -- Start with some background. Started losing my hearing (first right ear then left over two years) and got tinnitus in both ears in 1976. ...
Hi Steve! Thanks for the good post! I wonder though about this: "valium is addictive. So in 1980, I began taking Lorazepam (or Oxazepam), a substitute...
Ok, so for the first time in my entire life, I have to report for jury duty tomorrow. I am soooo not a happy camper, I have a ton of stuff I was supposed to do...
Russ -- It sounds like you are much more into the scientific names and make-up of drugs than I am. I tend to take the word of doctors and pharmacists, as well...
Sonja -- Of course you can be excused from jury duty. Actually, you should have called them as soon as you got the notice. I am in your neighboring state of...
... Find a doctor you can trust if you have the money. I have good insurance. I (my wife actually)drive two hours to see my doctor because he listens and is...
Hi Steve! "Besides all that, everyone's problems and remedies are different. Isn't life a kick? I agree, and whatever works, works; Even it is more or less...
Anybody in here been diagnosed with cochlear hydrops? If so would give me a holler would like to know more about it! Thanks Connie ... Start your day with...
Hi Connie! I'm unsure how many have this sub-diagnosis of Menieres called 'Atypical Menieres' or Cochlear Hydrops. I believe you may not receive a lot of...
According to the local court, there are no excuses whatsoever. They wouldn't talk to me about it. So I'll drive down there tomorrow and see what happens. I was...
Connie -- There are many web site references if you do a Google search on cochlear hydrops (fluctuating hearing loss). I think that would educate you quicker...
Steve, I live in Oregon and my doctor also gave me Ativan to take for episodes. I have often wondered why so many people with Meniere's have been prescribed...
hello group, I have posted only once or twice but recently have had problems with gagging. A friend mentioned that maybe this may have something to do with my...
Susan, I too have this problem. I have acid reflux too, which is what I thought was causing my gagging while brushing my teeth. It has definitely been since...
Hi Susan! I can't speak for those with Menieres as I have an acoustic neuroma problem and not Menieres. Seems many with acoustic neuroma also suffer gag or...
Yep that sounds like what I got!! I am like the doppler radar tooooo....when the weather changes or is going to change ......I KNOW IT!! The way the specalist...
Hi; The audiologist adjusted my HA again today. She then called the company headquarters in Minneapolis. They're not getting anywhere in improving speech...
Russ, I really feel for you and can understand your dilemma. Could it really hurt to spend a couple of days to see what could come of it? And if they're...
Hi Erin It may be worth it to go. I don't know at this point. My Mayo Dr seems to have resigned himself to wait just a little bit until he can try a cochlear...
Sonja, absolutely tell the judge that your are having health issues...They will not want you to serve when they get those vibes from you.....And the...
Gosh, I really am getting discouraged. This morning I got up early, went to the PC as I always do...Within a few minutes something clicked, I got dizzy a...
Hi Nada Are you taking anything for the acid reflux? Also; Have you ever sensed the Tranxene or Prozac actually makes the nausea worse for a while? Is the...
Yes, Russ, I take nexium for acid reflux and have for years....I have had about 4 of those test down the throat and my esophagas stretched...Reflux is a real...
Russ -- Hearing aids can be both a boon and a bust. I started out with analog aids back in the 70's because that's all they had. They were able to adjust them...
Hi Nada What was happening to me was that the Valium was building up in my body after the 10 years I had been taking it. Both Tranxene and Valium have really...
Hi Steve! Thanks for sharing. Yes; We do have similar situations. Mayo Clinic audiology said they were having an awful time switching people to digital after...
Russ: The trip up north to Mpls would be worth it IMO. Imagine if it did work? Then when it does (stay positive), take some time up in Grand Marais, or stay at...
