been a while first Tinnitus now Meniere's disease

not posted for 3 years it think, but I still read all comments when i can, they help. after having T for 22 years then i was finally diagnosed with meniere's disease after having a "Drop Attack" at the time I had no idea what the hell it was, a loud screech for a breaking washing machine, next thing i know my head (and the rest of me) crashed into a radiator. Stupid me did nothing about it, then i had an attack last 2 hours, i had no idea what was goin on, but its the most horrific and annoying thing ive ever had, I say annoying (now I know what I have) because it not painful, its just horrific thats why its a disease its slowing destroying you.

Hence the 3 year gap. I didnt cope well, when I was diagnosed my wife was 2 month off giving birth to twins. the first six months was hell i had a lot of attacks i was n Cyclizine which wasnt great, vertigo was ok but my vision was blurred and couldnt stay awake, so that stop. as months past i was having a lot of attacks but why.......

finally i went to see a counsellor (doctors orders) and realised (I love my Twin boys) I was getting stressed with them, I was getting stressed as I thought their cry or scream would start my attack, turns out it was me causing my own attacks. after a long dark patch ( I have scars). with the amazing help of our family, they all in turn come round every night and help bath and bed the twins. during that time prevented me from getting stressed and having attacks. I now try not to take medication due to the side effects, instead I now meditate(which I hated at first but now I swear by it) go for walks.

I still hate it, I cant hear out of my right ear, but im trying to cope, if i posted 2 years ago, well anyway

Two T's we have in common the No1 is my twins 30 years of age men the loves of my life ♥️🤗 and second T which iv endured for a few months now high pitched tone in my left ear I get vertigo I find sound therapy from Alexa work's for sleeping and ignoring it helps but I had to purchase a tens machine for a pinched nerve in my shoulder £12.99 amazingly does distract my brain from the monster 😠 as your probably aware it's there just now because I'm writing about it I'm waiting for a hearing aid appointment as iv always been partially deaf in that ear so I thank you for your feedback and am going to give meditation a go 😁
