Another Meniere's sufferer here. Triggers for me are the typical ones: alcohol, caffeine, high stress, sleep dep. Dietary salt doesn't seem to be a big one for me. I had steroids after my first attack, and have also tried various prescription diuretics and low-sodium diets, all to little effect. Learning about and avoiding my triggers (and, like the GP, getting regular exercise) has been the best bet for me. I had a breakthrough a couple years ago when I was prescribed diazepam (Valium) to deal with acute attacks. Apart from its anxiolytic effects, it's a powerful vestibular suppressant, and works far better than anything I'd tried before (e.g. anticholinergics) to control vertigo and tinnitus. In fact, since I usually get a 'prodrome' (symptoms build over a few days before a full-blown attack), I can get on the diazepam right away, and head off the attack before it gets out of hand (starting at 5mg/day, fairly low dose). This seems to also prevent the prolonged temporary hearing loss phase of a couple months after each attack. Thanks for the link to the water cure, that's a new one, and pretty interesting. Best of luck to you!
