[quote Starrr123]@chaosrabbitland what symptoms did u get xx[/quote]
it started off with feeling like my ear was blocked with wax , mild earache and a feeling of like pressure in it , as it went into a year and it was clear after the nurse syringing it with no earwax at all , the earache increased to sometimes throbbing pain . i also had deafness in the ear , i was diagnosed with md at the hospital after a referal ,
i get mild unsteadiness , esp on rising in the morning and i also get spinning when i lie down intially . i cant look up anymore as i spin , i have to use a stool even to look in say top shelf of kitchen cupboards
the deafness in the affected ear is 30 percent hearing loss now , i was given a hearing aid , i have tinnitus in the ear now , sometimes its not noticiable , other times im very aware of the buzz and whine of it
iv had three major attacks , where i have been spinning and collapsed on the floor , getting up is impossible , there is no balance at all , its like being extremely drunk , there is sickness i have thrown up reapeatly when iv had an attack . staying horizontal and waiting for it to wear off is the only thing md sufferers can do .
my md is worse when im stressed , two of my attacks happened after a period of intense worry and stress
i take beatahistine 3 times daily to help decrease the feeling of pressure in my affected ear , it does help it though somedays if its bad im naughty and double it up . if its really bad and i feel very spinny i buy myself some travel sickness tabs and they help with any nausea
