Suffering from Meniere's disease?

by Pat McFarley

Meniere's disease is neither well known nor comprehended. When somebody first suffers from its symptoms, they are often puzzled and credit the symptoms to something else. Meniere's disease can't be self-diagnosed. It needs a skilled physician to execute a series of very specific tests. As the symptoms of Meniere's disease act like the symptoms of other ear disorders, one needs to seek the aid of a health professional to get correctly diagnosed.

When struck with the symptoms of Meniere's disease for the very first time, you can be shocked at what is going on with your body. If you have never suffered from a complete loss of equilibrium, it is a peculiar and disconcerting situation that you don't understand because you may not have anything to compare it to. To make matters worse, these symptoms can come and go without any forewarning and can hang around for hours at a time.

Often traditional doctors are at a loss as to what to do to help you out. They might prescribe steroids and antihistamines. These may or may not help. Generally a patient is given the lousy option of "just live with it." The problem of just living with it is that you can be quite unhappy battling to exist with those symptoms. Worse, if unmanaged, Meniere's may progress from just one ear to the second (called bilateral Meniere's disease).

The good news is that there are things that you can do to decrease the severity and frequency of Meniere's disease attacks. These include controlling your stress, lowering your sodium intake and taking specific supplements.

The insidious thing about stress is that it can slowly build up without you realizing it. Stress reduction is essential to one's search for optimal health. Stress reduction can come by such simple things as yoga, meditation, and aerobic exercise.

A low sodium-diet is frequently prescribed by physicians to help you manage the symptoms of Meniere's disease. This is one thing that has yielded varying results with Meniere's patients. Since a low-sodium diet has other health benefits, you should consider giving it a try.

Vitamins and Nutrients are essential for good health and maintaining the systems in your body. Your ears are not exempt. Your inner ear requires antioxidants like glutathione and minerals like zinc for proper operation. Anything that aids your body's circulation can help your ears. There are a number of vitamins and supplements that will help improve your circulation.

Meniere's disease can be difficult to decipher as one remedy that works quite well for one may not function so well for another. Always consult with your physician before engaging in a new health care program.
