I have Meniere's Disease. It started in 1997 after the accident that I was in. I had a concussion and it was real bad.. after that it was never the same... foggy brain, fuzzy thinking, no concentration.. vertigo and dizzy all times if i move it to fast it can make me feel nauseated and throw up.. i gotta be careful with it.. also ringing in my ears... if i have those ringing then i know i will have to stay in bed for few days to ride it out.. its called attacks. then afterward i would feel bad for few days and stay in bed ... then 3 yrs ago.. it got worse.. seems like i get it every week now.. so had to go to ENT last year.. i had balance tests and all that.. finally the result is Meniere's Disease.. no cure.. but i have 2 medications.. one is diuretic pill (water pills) and amtrip for balance and pains to help me sleep at night time.. it worked for a while.. but now i have insominas again.. i have another dr check up appt coming up .. i will tell the ENT that medicine is not working cuz i kept waking up and cant go back to bed?? grrr.. its frustasting so i know how you feel.. this week i had it.. it sucks... my brain is still fuzzy.. way of life.. nothing i can do about it.. and my soon to be ex hubby was not supportive of me .. he think i faked it to get out of going places?? he wasnt understanding.. jeez! i cant help if i have it?? ugh!
