It's going to be a bumpy ride... getting ready for -30F temps this week here in ND. My family in Texas was just bragging about how it was 80 yesterday.
My grandbabies sinuses are acting up I'm fine right now but I've had headaches the last couple of days. People don't realize how much air pressure changes affect us.
Yes, I have Meniere’s and the pressure changes can affect me, but being new to having Meniere’s I’m not sure at what pressure point affects me. I forget to check the weather app on my phone to see what the pressure is when I’m off balance because I don’t think of it, too busy worrying about if I’m about to have a full blown episode or not. Meniere’s sucks! I’ve been having more of what I call “wonky headed” (lol, it’s what I call it because it’s the only way I can describe how my head feels). It’s like I’m not fully into a vertigo stage but my head is off balance.
I live in the south, so it’s no surprise that we are in the 70’s during the day & 60’s at night in December. After this week it’s suppose to cool off again. But our damn grass is growing again. Because we have cold snaps our grass dies & leaves fall off the trees, but it always starts warming up again and it’s like all the greenery is tricked to start growing again, just to get cold and kill it again.
Oh wow until today I had never heard of Meniere's syndrome. I've always been sensitive to pressure changes.
There was a cat 5 tornado that destroyed a town a couple hours from me back in 07 I was awake with the worst migraine of my life. In an old job I had my ears would pop when I went up and downstairs lol. I notice when storm fronts are blowing through and there are lots of pressure changes I have a bad headache and my ears will pop and unpop. I've always been like that and I have very good hearing some slight tinnitus in my right ear but turmeric has helped reduce and the sinus pressure video I linked has also helped.
I have tinnitus in both ears ALL the time! I try not to focus on it or it will drive me insane. When we have heavy gusts of wind it can make my head spin.
Yeah, didn’t know much about Meniere’s until my doc said that’s what she thought I had. The thing is you then have to find a doctor who can actually diagnose you through tests, mri’s, hearing tests & your symptoms, then be able to treat you. After seeing a couple of ENT’s & my neurologist, I finally found an ENT that could diagnose & treat me for it. I was having many episodes (its what I call them, others call them attacks) a month, sometimes like 2 a week. They are horrible to go through, can only imagine how others seeing me go through it feel. For me it lasts over 4 hours.
I had a procedure down where the doc opens up my eardrum and gives me a shot of steroids into my inner ear, not a fun procedure but it helped with the bad episodes. I feel like I may need to get another one in the not so distant future because my head has become more imbalanced lately. Whenever I have another episode is when I have to go back to have it done again. The one I had done was the first time and it’s lasted months so far, the next one could last longer hopefully.
Knock on wood ... I have never had a “drop attack” yet and pray I never do. They say it comes out of nowhere, one minute your standing there and the next you are on the floor, like someone violently pushed them. Some people have had injuries from the fall.

Also this technique really works to clear sinuses
