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.
