Meniere's Disease

Hi K.,
I don't have Meniere's Disease but I use to have inner ear problems quite frequently (and as a child I had tubes in my ears twice). I went to many otologists and ENT doctors to help me with this. Finally, it took a chiropractor to help fix me. Try this, it sounds off but it really works.
good luck

Hey K..
I saw your email.
I know this may sound strange, but Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care gets FABULOUS results with your condition! My mother-in-law just recovered from it using upper cervical care. If you'd like more info, please email me directly. Otherwise, there are links on our website that might help.

Let me know if I can help!

Oh, yes I have this...bad! I was dizzy for the longest time. So bad that I would have to hold on to something to keep from falling over. Many times people caught me. It would get to the point that I couldn't teach. I would be at the front of the classroom trying to teach and would have to go sit down!! Doctor after doctor told me they don't treat dizziness. Finally, I found someone that took care of me. They gave me a prescription for water pills. Oddly enough, the vitamins that I started taking took care of it mostly. I still have a few bouts of it every once in a while, but only when I am very active.

My mother has Meniere's Disease and wears hearing aids (she is suppsed to but only wears one and not always that one). Feel free to email me any questions!

Hi K.;

I've been dealing with Meniere's Disease for about 10 years now, and I know first hand how hard it is to cope with day to day life. I was born with nerve deafness in both ears (85% left and 50% right) so I was a very viable candiate for Meniere's disease. One question for you, did your doctor put you on a low salt,low caffiene diet? if not, you might try that. I havent had any problems for 6 years since I went on it.
I also have found several informative websites so I could learn more about Meniere's when I was first diagnosed with it.

I didn't know unitl my research that they can do surgery to correct Meniere's disease, my episodes aren't that bad anymore although I do occasionally black out and have a siezure once a month. This may sound silly but I wear glasses and when I got my bifocals last year I also got the transsitions lenses, that change according to the light around you. I was amazed after a month of no headaches, tiredness until recently when I started back to work the week before Christmas at McDonald's, I've noticed that I have a had time concentrating on my job and the beepers going off around me aggravate me to the point I get very stressed. I've lived here for 7 years and am still trying to find a doctor in Saint Joseph who treats Meniere's disease.

hi K.. i do not have meniere's but my husband does and we haven't met anyone else who has it yet. he is getting medically discharged from the army because of it and we have 3 children. i have been a stay at home mom since our first child was born and he wasn't diagnosed until after i was pregnant with our third child. i would love to talk to you and i am sure he would like to meet someone who knows what he is going through.

I am an upper cervical chiropractor in Overland Park. There is quite a bit of research to support that specific upper cervical adjustments help with Meniere's.

Here are a couple websites:
www.upcspine.com
www.blairchiropractic.com
www.dunndc.com - this is my website, but I don't have research on there.

Please feel free to call my office if you would like to talk to me. I actually just treated a patient who had labrynthitis recently.
