Living with Meniere's Disease.

...See more I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease about three years ago. It is an inner ear disorder in which there is too much fluid in the inner ear tubes. Symptoms I have personally experianced include extreme vertigo, tinnitus, aural fullness, and roaring in the ears. I am currently being treated for this condition by an ENT who has prescribed a diuretic (fluid retention reducer) and I recently had surgery to place ear tubes to improve my balance and hearing. Does anyone else suffer from this disease? How are you managing with it?

Living with Pseudotumor Cerebri (IIH)

...See more I have just been diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri aka Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension. It is caused my an excess of spinal fluid being produced and said increased spinal fluid increases the pressure inside the skull. It forces pressure upon the optic discs and causes them the hemorage. This pressure results in permanant damage to the optic disc and optic nerve, which in turn can cause blindness. I have been told by three separate doctors in the past week that I need to lose 50% of my body weight and this has the possibilty of reducing symptoms. I suffer from crippling migraines. Does anyone else suffer from this condition? I know it's rare but I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there.
