    Meniere's Disease and Neck Pain

    I was wondering, does anyone else who has been diagnosed with Meniere's have really bad neck pain at times? Sometimes in between episodes I have severe neck pain. It starts at the base of my skull and goes down under my ears. It hurts to even turn my head. I have tried hot and cold ice packs...

    Does Anyone Else's Tinnitus Sound Like a Slot Machine or Computer Beeping?

    Does anyone else's tinnitus sound like a slot machine or computers beeping? Driving me bananas. I wonder, since I work in an office environment 45 hours a week, has my brain copied that noise and play it back as tinnitus? Please let me know if yours does or if I'm just a freak. Thanks.

    Xanax for Meniere's — Within an Hour Ringing Stopped, Hyperacusis Was Gone, and Ears Were Opened Up

    Hey guys. I went in for my brain MRI yesterday. Been having tons of issues. I was diagnosed with Meniere's a couple of years back, but things have gotten worse, so my neurologist suggested on the safe side to do a brain MRI. Anyway, I asked for something to calm me down before going. He...

    Kinda at My Wits' End

    I was diagnosed with Meniere's about a year and a half ago. However, I don't really think it was the right diagnosis. I do have low frequency hearing loss in my right ear, did the MRI (came back clean), and did the balance testing (two organs in my right ear did not respond). I have been on...

    Sternocleidomastoid Muscle?

    So I've had some serious T since last July. I have gone to numerous ENTs. Most have diagnosed this as Menires. It is accompanied with severe daily headaches and dizziness (however, no vertigo).

    Suggestions.... What Do You Do for Headaches?

    So I just got off the phone with my ENT. He's setting me up for a steroid shot into my eardrum. For the last 3 weeks my T has been almost unbearable. I took 10 days of steroids, antibacterials, and diuretics. But none of these did anything. My biggest problem is, the T is soooo loud it gives me...

    Had a Good Couple of Days, but Now....

    So over the Thanksgiving Holidays everything was good. I thought maybe the supplements I had been taking were kicking in or I had gotten to the point where I was learning to cope with the low frequency tinnitus. On Wednesday and Thursday I couldn't even hear it, just silence. It was wonderful...

    Does anyone else have low frequency tinnitus (like a constant low pitch hum) that goes away when you talk or hum? I've noticed it goes away when I hum or talk, but when I take a breath or stop it returns. It also stops when I hear songs at a certain frequency or other people talk sometimes...

    I have been dealing with T since July. So fairly new to this. I went to gp early on and was put on steroids and it came back. I went to several doctors and they said it may be early onset Meneire's, considering I was having some other symptoms as well. I went to take my hearing test and came...
