Planning ahead for another year with Meniere’s disease

Well, 2010 is almost over and what a year it has been for me. My Meniere’s attacks came back with a vengeance leading me to another round of gent injections which didn’t help. I went back on disability and I am still there. It has been a tough year all around. But I found a lot of solace in writing this blog and hearing from everyone that have written comments. The participation means a lot to me. I also hope that I have been a help to many of you too.



As for 2011, I will continue working on the blog and finding out as much information about Meniere’s disease as possible. Please keep those comments coming in! Information and support from others is a very powerful tool!

I am hoping that in 2011 we will see more advances in the inner ear devices that are being tested now. Maybe next year there will be a real breakthrough.

Thanks David for all the info you have posted. I thank you especially for connecting me to so many others who suffer like us. I hope that this coming year is better for you. 2010 was the best and the worst for me with Menieres but now that it is coming to a close I am thankful for my continued healing. I look forward to 2011 and the new discoveries it will bring!

Merry Christmas to you and all your readers, David! Thanks for your efforts to spread information on and generate discussion around Meniere's, I feel we all benefit from reading and commenting.

For me this has been quite a good year, as my health made a marked step forward at the beginning and has improved further at various points since. I've also had my diagnosis firmed up and whilst that could have been better at least I know where I stand.

I'd like everyone to be aware that things can get a lot better, albeit slowly, and I say that as someone not taking any drugs but just managing my nutrition and stress. Try to stay positive and patient!
