My husband has had several attacks of meniere’s disease. The only thing
prescribed for this was a common motion sickness pill, but he is so sick
sometimes that he can’t keep it down. Are there any cures for this disease?
There doesn’t seem to be a common thread for the onset of his attacks. Any info
on this baffling disease would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you all in
advance

I did a web search for “Meniere’s syndrome” — aka “Menier’s disease”
or “labyrinthine hydrops” — using the search engine located at
http://altavista.digital.com/ and it came up with 57 entries. If you
don’t have access to a search engine, let me know and I can post a
summary of what the entries say. I did check the web site located at
http://www.avana.net/pages/business/uppcerv/home3.htm It claims that
Menier’s disease is a complication of brain stem subluxations and it
can be cured through chiropractic treatment. Hope this helps.

Some people have been cured of Meniere’s. I had it, but the procedures
for getting rid of it can be destructive to some balance. If meds, and
diet, and time don’t give relief, then surgery, or injections of
antibiotics, will stop the vertigo. Usually the motion sickness pills
do nothing or very little to relieve the symptoms. Ask your physician
if valium can be tried. It works wonders for calming the vestibular
system. Also for nausea there are suppositories. Ginger root herb also
is great for upset stomachs. Two with meals work great. Menieres
itself can last weeks months, or lifetime. But remember the vertigo
can be stopped. If you need anymore info let me know. There is an

Margot, often diuretics are useful in Meniere’s disease. There can
also be surgery done with fair results. The key is distinguishing the
type of labrynthitis he has. Presumably he has the type of hearing
loss associated with Meniere’s. There are some great sites on the www
for labrynthine disorders…please email me if you have trouble
finding them.
