Remission? Cured?

I haven't posted in quite a while because, well, nothing has changed with my Meniere's in quite a while. At my last ENT appointment, the doctor did, well, nothing. Aside from looking in my ear and asking me 3 minutes' worth of questions that I've answered a hundred times before. Nothing has changed, and I'm now doing nothing. Seriously, nothing. I stopped taking Acetazolamide (Diamox), the one thing the doctor says to always continue doing. I have long suspected that it is doing nothing for me, and the doctor uses it as a panacea because he (the medical industry) knows nothing else to do for Meniere's. Well, I stopped taking it several weeks ago, and nothing has changed. I still drink alcohol and caffeine.

I also stopped taking anti-depressants. The process of discontinuing anti-depressants is a very awful one, and that's a discussion for another forum. But as with Diamox, I suspected that, in the long run, these anti-depressants are not helping me. Or maybe more correclty, I am at a point where I do not need them as I did before. As a security blanket. Furthermore, they are masking feelings and sensations, both good and bad, and I'm tired of operating in a haze, where I'd much rather take a nap than do anything else.

Ok, so the point is, I have stopped all conventional Meniere's treatment, and my Meniere's has not changed. It is still there, always, the ringing, the occasional dizziness, fullness, pain, hearing problems. Vassilates during the day and follows no discernable pattern.

So what's up? The medicine didn't work and I finally figured it out? Is Meniere's in remission? I suspect some combination of both. Please understand that I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ADVOCATE THAT EVERYONE STOP TAKING THEIR MEDICINE! Again, this forum is about my experiences and what I've done and what effects have resulted, if any.

My doctor says that the Meniere's may come back in its initial form. I pray that this does not occur, but I am now convinced that there is little I can do, pharmacologically, to prevent this.

However, I have some new ideas. Well, they're not new. But they represent what I believe to be a new approach to this "disease", and much more. I'm still studying and learning, but I have high hopes. This is something non-medical, something I can control, and something that, if done properly, can also help a lot of other things that I think accompany Meniere's.

More about this in another post.

I have had MD for the last 5 years. I had to go from doctor to doctor before I found one that helped me. I started with ents then went to an inner ear specialist.
The thing that finally worked for me was the gentamicin injections. At least it has worked so far.

Good luck with this. I've had it for 4 years, maybe longer (I just thought it was a severe headache when I was a kid), and it is really annoying. Still blows my mind that there is not a cure for this, or at least more solutions that work. Good luck!

Thanks for your comments, David and JustMac. Can you talk more about what you've tried and what has worked? What is gentamicin? How do you find an inner ear specialist?

God bless Dr Kennedy for helping me with Meneiere's disease herbal remedy. With all my life i will forever be grateful to God Almighty for using Dr Kennedy to reach me when i thought it was all over. I'm Hayle Rodriguez, i was diagnosed of Meniere's disease 11 years ago just shortly after my 42nd birthday. I felt some forces on my right ear for just a day or two and it was over but It rolled back again after some weeks but this time it was more severe ear ringing and i get dizzy almost all time. My husband drove me to the ENT doctor who confirmed to me that i had Meniere's disease and only advised that i wait till more research is done for a possible cure. Just as the doctor said, my tinnitus and hearing loss permanently worsened on the affected ear because there wasn't a cure for it then. When i wasn't sure of what someone just said, i'll just smile and hoped it wasn't a question, my whole life became a mess as i couldn't relate with my own husband and children. I and my family searched and hoped for help until my friend told me about Dr Kennedy and how he helped cure her 4 months Pancreatic Cancer too. I contacted Dr Kennedy for help and explained my hearing loss to him through his email: drkennedy118@gmail.com . I must say I didn't actually believe her but she ask me to trust him and things would be OK. I did trusted him and after a couple of days he sent me medicines and dosage instructions. I started taking the herbal medicines as prescribed and my Meniere's disease got cured and disappeared just within 9 days. I still can't believe its gone. I say thank you, thank you, thank you so much Dr Kennedy. I also believe "In between Meniere's Disease is a thing called good life, that has to be lived and enjoyed" which is why i need everyone with Meniere's Disease to reach Dr Kennedy for help and herbal cures on drkennedy118@gmail.com and +1 (312) 973 1164

Hi, thanks for this awesome article, I’m Shania Kubisch 41 and from Manteca CA, USA. i was first diagnosed of Meniere’s disease in 2009 following an unexpected attack. My husband didn't know what it was and i was taken to the hospital where we were told that i had meniere's disease. It lasted 2 years and went away. It came back in 2012 with a vengeance spinning 24/7, constantly feeling sick, tinnitus in my right ear, and loss of hearing. I was so devastated as i watched my carrier as a cashier crumble and communication with my family and friends lowered. After years of going to the ENT, and search for cure that proved abortive, my husband found out in a post on a health forum about some guru man (Prof Aafiya) who casts herbal healing spells to heal all kind of diseases. My family needed me and i needed a cure at all cost, i and my husband agreed to try the healing spell too and he complained my health state to the spell guru (prof Aafiya) on +2348108647815. He surely did help me and my husband cast a healing spell for Meniere's and i was completely healed of the disease just within 14 days. It’s been 2 years and 7 months since i had the healing spell and i have not had any symptoms of meniere’s disease. My hearing has been fully restored instantly and everything is back to normal again. If you have meniere's disease and experiencing it symptoms, you too may be able to get help from this Man (Prof Aafiya) via his email, prof.aafiyahealingspells@gmail.com .
I now believe in super-naturalistic healing very much because my own case has proved to me that there is nothing impossible. Once again thanks for this great article.

Happy 2021, I just want to quickly share some real tips on how to beat even the last stage of Cancer or Tinnitus. I know 2020 wasn't a great year for many people, but it has indeed been a lovely one for me and my family simply because of these tips.
My name is Anna,  I had Tinnitus (Meniere's Disease ) for 6 years, it was really hell for me and some years ago my husband was diagnosed with Lung & Bronchus Cancer and the doctor’s told me that there was nothing they could do to save my husband. Then a work colleague i have known for a long time told me about real natural herbs and oils, i told her that my husband Lung & Bronchus Cancer was in the last stage that i don’t think the natural medicines will be able to help, and she persuaded me to try. Because of the love I have for my husband, I decided to give it a try. She recommended ( dr.osojo@gmail.com ) to me and I visited their website where I learned more and got herbs medicines for myself and my husband. I was opportune to have a private talk with the herbs doctor in charge and told him my situation and that of my husband and he assured me that after 2 months my husband's Lung & Bronchus Cancer will be gone. All this was in August 2019, i followed the procedures and got some herbs medicines and oils, which indeed after a few weeks of applying it i realised i never experienced Meniere's Disease symptoms anymore and it's exactly one year now since the doctors confirmed that my husband is perfectly okay and no longer suffering from Cancer. If you know any one who is suffering from Meniere's Disease or Cancer, you can save his/her life by contacting Doctor Osojo via his email : ( DR.OSOJO@GMAIL.COM ). it worked exactly as the doctor prescribed.
