Meniere's Disease Remedies
Posted by Cindy (Wisconsin) on 08/29/2013
Can Ted or Bill offer help with this:
In 1999/2000 I HAD a Meniere's attack. It lasted for a week and was gone. Fast forward to 2011, I lost my job and my father in 6 months time. Started having problems with my ears being plugged up, stuffy feeling, dizziness at times, off balance. All this would come and go. One day in July of 2012 put my in ER at hospital with nausea, vomiting, dizziness etc. Was given an iv and thought to be a stomach bug of sorts, my guess was dehydration from too much hot outdoor work and not enough water intake. sent me home, continuing off and on same symptoms but more frequent for days at a time and then stop. July 2012 once again in ER for the same uncontrollable bout of previous year. I didn't help as much this time. Go see ENT specialist, ears checked, hearing checked. He suggested MRI done to rule out possible tumor(s). Suggested low slat diet to help with water retention that is causing symptoms. Also go on a water pill to help with too much fluid. Was trying to stay off salt as much as I could. Yesterday I am at work and get another bout and back to ER at hospital and another iv etc. got pills today for water retention and scheduled MRI for September.
I am searching for natural remedies to maintain this disease. I don't understand if low salt means no sea salt as well? I have started researching Meniere's and come up with MANY possible causes. It should be noted I have a great many high, medium and low food intolerances, suspect candida as well and all that goes with that. I really don;t know how to proceed day to day and get my live back enough to function and hopefully be able to keep my job. though the job is contributing to my stress load and continually search for a new one, though that is not easy where I live.
Sorry if this got so long but posting on here gives me hope of being led to information that will help me thank you all

Hello, try Strath from Bio-Strath. The founder himself had Meniere and got cured many years ago. It is a Swiss product and can be bought in Food Health Stores.

You should NOT put any type of oil down in the ear canal.
Spinning Yoga Exercise
Posted by Janice (Coloma, Mi) on 10/18/2009
I just tried the "spinning" exercise. You have to be careful because I got dizzy and lost my balance a few times. I'm going to keep it up and I'll let everyone know if it helps. I have been experiencing dizziness but only when I'm lying down and get up. I'm fine during the day. The Dr. gave me some antihistimines also and said if they didn't work to let her know and she would make an appointment with the eye, ear, nose and throat dr. I was hoping it would just go away but it's been a few months now. I'm really hoping this spinning thing will work. Thanks for telling us about it.
Swedish Bitters

Hi. I've read the post of Mery, who was taking Swedish Bitters for Menieres Desease. How do you have to take it? Drink with water or put into your ear? I've heard different opinions. And how long does it take to feel better? I mean, when do you start to see the results after the beginning of the couration? Thanks
OTC Antihistamine

I also have vertigo which can leave me incapacitated for a couple of days at a spell. I have started taking 25mg of Bendryl at night. I may not be taking a large enough dosage as the 25mg has only helped a little, if any. I would like to know what dosage of bendryl is helping you? Thanks.
OTC Antihistamine

Benedryl normally has to be taken every four hours. Look for the feel of it, the calming or settling, the flat footed-ness. I'm allergic to animal dander, grass, wheat, pollen, and it's a constant. Hint: my psychiatrist told me to never stop taking it.

Yoga and Balance Exercises

I am a vinyasa yoga teacher and have a new student with Menier's disease. Any helpful poses are welcome as she has a hard time in any poses that require you to look up, down, or sideways. I have taught her variations so she keeps her head still. Any tips or good poses?
