How my meniere’s disease is going as of the end of August

Well, this has been a strange year of ups and downs with regards to my meniere’s disease. Right now things aren’t that bad and when I say aren’t that bad I mean that I haven’t had any attacks and I haven’t been eating antivert like candy.

As I posted before, the year started out with me just coming off disability, I was still a little shaky but I could return to work. After 6 weeks of VRT I felt a lot better (I don’t know if the VRT had anything to do with it, but I can’t say that it didn’t). For the next three months after that, I felt pretty good, I didn’t have any attacks at all and I felt comfortable driving again.

Of course the good times never last forever with Meniere’s disease. At the end of spring and around the time that I took my plane ride I started to feel bad again. No violent attacks but enough to convince me to start taking antivert again. This bad period has lasted most of the summer. But for some reason I have been feeling pretty good lately. And that is strange considering my health in general hasn’t been all that great this summer with my high blood pressure and the wisdom tooth extraction of last week. I had worried after I had the tooth pulled that the pain pills that I was given might cause an attack to occur but they didn’t.

So right now things are aren’t bad. I don’t know how long this will last but we will see…
