Well I went to the docs today and got my ears hoovered (not syreinged, HOOVERED!) 
And they showed me inside my ears too and I seen the before and after pictures and when I came out I felt great for a few hours and now I can feel my ears fucking up again as Im sitting here and the noise is still there, reduced slightly since today but still there.
Am hoping this will fade away but the way my ears feel now I very much doubt it!
Has anybody else had a similar experience, any help advice or info would be greatly appreciated!
heh and if anybody wants to know who I am at the Scottish Munch Ill the one hanging over a table all night or looking totally pished before I even hit the bar!!

I am reviving this thread as, although I didn't post on it before, I too suffer from regular bouts of vertigo. It's not easy to declare exactly where the borderline is between Meniere's disease and vertigo and some doctors treat them as the same thing.
But anyway, I've just heard about a newish treatment for vertigo called Epley's manoevre, and I wonder if anyone here has had experience of it. I certainly intend to ask the specialist about it when I have my next appointment.
There's some information about Epley's manoevre here:
....and more to be obtained by googling.
Fruity 1976 doesn't seem to have been around in here lately (last post May 9) but I hope she's still here...FRUITY?!!!!

Hey fruity bad news 
a friend of mine has just been diagnosed with it, after several tests etc
Question have you seen the doc or just guessing?
Because he recieved a lot of information from the quack, if you havent make sure its what youve got.
There are several versions some easily treated and are short term, others more severe and progesive. you do need to establish this with the doc
His is the progesive one but he can still do most things as before just a little slower
Hope you get the advice you need if not go back to doc and get him to explain

Thanks Alex - no, I would certainly not try Epley's manoeuvre without help from a physio. And Iwill start by asking the specialist I see if it is appropriate, as I am well aware that it doesn't suit all sufferers. Thanks again.

I have recently been diagnosed with having Meniere's after suffering for months with the unknown .
I'm still coming to terms with it and am highly emotional on the subject but PM me if you wish, Fruity and I'll let you know my experiences.
I'm on permanent medication and also have to carry round ermergency medication and this seems to help the "attacks" although it doesn't stop them from happening.
The lifestyle change is the hardest but you will cope and get used to it. I am starting to.
The textbooks and various websites do paint a scary picture but you need to be prepared (in my opinion) for all eventualities. When I was first diagnosed my "attacks" weren't too bad but they seem to be getting more frequent and more horrible as time passes.... I'm just glad I have the support of my fmaily and friends and also the medication to deal with it as and when it happens.
Chin up Fruity..... you can learn to deal with this.
