ADHD meds that is. I notice no difference this week taking my ADHD meds and I'm gathering that it is because of the Menieres flaring up. I've not had a huge vertigo attack yet, but since last week I've felt slightly drunk, confused, disorientated and some sounds make me dizzy and nearly collapse.
I saw the ENT Monday who said some of these new symptoms were the Menieres,, but he siad he wont do anything about it as it might go away on it's own. I cried when I got out his office because tbh I've had a gut full of feeling dizzy for over seven days now, n waiting for a big vertigo attack to happen.
I've try to keep a big attack at bay by taking the meds, n yesterday my GP gave me some diazepam to help, coz stress makes Menieres worse. But I'm annoyed the ENT wont do anything to help me.
Menieres doesn't 'go away' it can go into remission, but it never goes unless you have balance organs destroyed inside your ear, which he wont do for me. The bad side is that having this done can make you completely deaf in the affected ear, but I'm already completely deaf in my left anyway, so I wish he would at least try it in the deaf side for me.
But no I'm to suffer on, and well, just walk around like a zombie for however long I feel strange, and keep praying that I dont collapse again or get vertigo so bad I vomit like I usually do
The other thing that happens is that with each attack Menieres destroys part of your ear anyway, so could leave me deaf in my good ear too, which has also been playing up so it looks as the Menieres is affecting that ear too
Sorry to rant, but it's making life so hard for me and I've become so depressed, I'm 29, yet feel like 80 n now the ADHD meds cant help the ADHD when I feel like this either I just want it all to stop now I really had enough
