I have Menieres disease and tinnitus. Going through a bad patch at the moment where the tinnitus is really bad and the Menieres is making me dizzy in noisy places. Have been put on Beta-Histadine Dichloride by the doc to sort out the dizziness but am so blardy exhausted with it - haven't been able to go to work.

Anyone else suffer from this? Any tips? Can't use white noise machines as am deaf so have to take my hearing aid out at night to sleep, which makes the tinnitus worse as then don't hear anything except the tinnitus!!! Arghh!!!

i have menieries and one day head was spinning so much i fainted!

am there with you and have tinnitus too - i used to cry myself to sleep from the noise but now months down the line it is a bit better - just do NOT think or conentrate on your ears - just think about something else

Oh Puss. My Deaf friend used to get so down with tinnitus cos she said that her ears didn't bloody well work anyway so why should she be forced to hear such crap. sad
My dad gets positional vertigo (inner ear problem) which is helped by Stugeron travel sickness tabs. Any use on the dizziness? I suggest you go back to the Dr's and insist he finds something non drowsy for you cos that is not fair on you either.

Aww, thanks for the lovely replies smile

The tablets aren't making me drowsy, its the constant tinnitus thats making me tired -the tablets will help the dizziness but not the tinnitus. The pisser is that at night even though I'm tired, the buzzing keeps me awake so its a vicious (sp!!) circle. Most of the times I can cope with it, but these last weeks its been a bit ughh.....

Mind you, am grin at the my ears don't work so why should I have to listen to such crap though!!! ha ha!!!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
