I have Ménière’s disorder and had a few short episodes of vertigo before one finally got me discombobulated. I woke up one morning and couldn’t get my extremities to function. Couldn’t tell up from down. It took about 8 hours for it to completely go away but then I realized I had lost most of my hearing in my right ear and half in my left, and had constant tinnitus and dizziness. I went to an ENT and learned that there is nothing I could do as there is no cure for Ménière’s. I have gotten better at dealing with the tinnitus and don’t notice it unless the train whistle or the lion roars start. I keep hoping one day that I will read that someone has found a cure! Ah well, hope springs eternal!!
- Aeglaecia 7mo agoim sorry to hear that, some of my family members have inner ear disorders and the nausea/vertigo sounds terrible. the original comment isnt targeted at those like yourself who unfortunately must deal with damaged peripherals ... but still there is a chance it could apply. may i ask whether you ever noticed ringing in your ears to be correlated with a change of mental state? examples of this chage would be arriving at a big realisation, or commencing relaxation, or performing meditation.
- asplake 7mo agoI suffered a highly unpleasant vertigo attack yesterday - happens every once in a while. Tinnitus was the warning, and I was definitely over-tired beforehand. After an ear infection 30 years ago I lost most hearing in my left ear and my balance was affected. Not a massive problem most of the time but I regret not being able to read when travelling, even by plane or train. It’s audiobooks all the way…
