I've been suffering from Menieres since 2004. It is not fatal or terminal but can be chronic and disabling. The disesase is different for everyone and it is idiopathic meaning there is no known cause. There are some things that have helped in my case that may help you. Basically Menieres is an excess of fluid in the inner ear. Cutting back on sodium, less than 1000mg daily provides some relief. Increase your water intake to flush out excess sodium and water. Diuretics, also known as fluid pills are an OTC medication used to rid the body of excess water. Use with caution as diuretics can deplete potassium in the body. Potassium is very important in dealing with Menieres as potassium helps to regulate the balance of fluid in the body. Get your potassium from foods such as bananas, strawberries and Lima beans. Potassium supplements do not work as they provide minimal amounts that aren't easily absorbed by the body. Medications that have helped me are meclizine 25mg 4-6 times daily. Use caution as meclizine will make you drowsy and can cause headaches. Lorazepam and diazapam are prescription drugs. I have found that 2 1mg Lorazepam a day is helpful. It doesn't prevent the drop attacks but it does seem to make them shorter and less severe. Some research indicates that the supplement Lysine may be helpful. If you smoke, stop. Smoking aggravates this condition. So does second-hand smoke. If you suffer from allergies then treat them as they are an aggravating factor. Stress is a biggie. Try some breathing exercises, yoga etc. The lorazepam also helps with the stress. That's the best advice I can give you. I hope something works for you. Good luck
