The ABC Homeopathy Forum

diagnosed with menieres disease

I was diagnosed with menieres diseaese three years ago.
Symptom onset 4 years ago. dizziness and near faiting attacks. pressure in ears. trouble sleeping. panic attacks. anxiety (this after onset of symptoms and anxiety from many doctor visits and tests, never have had panic before. some anxiety as a younger child.
one year after symptoms went to ENT, diagnosis of menieres. brain fog, head pressure/ear pressure, tinnitis, vertigo mostly at night.
sensitive to stress.
light sleeper since menopause, onset of menopause age 47, no HRT..
age is 54 now, female.
on no medicines. the ENT wanted me on a diuretic but these make me too lethargic.
so have tried parsley and dandelion capsules.
eat very health, 85% raw food and small amounts of eggs, goat cheese or fish/turkey, maybe once a week.
most fruits, veggies, sprouted nuts and seeds, tofu or fermented soy.
can't eat dairy or sugar or refined foods or get sick.
thin built, not overweight.
work all day in front of a computer.

symptoms have improved with above diet, but still have episodes of vertigo, ear pressure, head pressure, feelings of movement in head like motion, sometimes see flashes of light in periphery of vision at night only with eyes closed.
very sensitive now in the right ear to noises. have to ear an ear plug in right ear.

I have tried many many natural therapies all with only temporary results..
oh, i can't have any salt. SALT makes me have vertigo/menieres attacks and makes it feel like there are water balloons in my ears/head. retained fluid with salt...
I also drink fresh veggie juices which help and take grape seed extract, lemon bioflavenoids, flax seeds and oils, hemp protein powder, blue green algae..

thx for any help... I want to feel my old self again..

I was hoping to hear from Dr. Sharma soon..

I have been to the ENTs, more than one. they just want you to take medicines which all make me sick with side effects. Have already had MRIs and CAT scans.
They showed nothing..
I have had many other tests such
as balance tests and hearing
tests which show menieres.
I am looking for an alternative treatment other than allopathic treatments..
thx
Elise

A remedy prescribed for someone else will unlikely do anything for you. That is not how homoeopathic medicines are chosen. The whole case is examined and the remedy choice individualised on this basis. It is possible that 100 people with Menieres Disease might all need completely different medicines in homoeopathy.
