Hi are there tests available for Menieres Disease? Or any treatment other than tablets?
ENT - 1st visit, the consultant said it was likely I had menieres disease...gave me betahistine which made me unwell.
2nd visit, different ENT consultant said no definitive tests for menieres- he pointed out I had tried betahistine, phloclopherazine and cinnarzine - none worked all 3 made me ill/drowsy/sick now being referred to neurology for vestibular migraine.
Was wondering, is there a test for menieres?
My ENT consultant is also suggesting stress therapy. I wear one hearing aid, just feel a bit fobbed off by ENT. Still getting ear pressure build up, shakiness, tinnitus build up and distorted hearing. It is very distressing.
Consultant asked if I felt stressed and I said yes when I'm in the grip of an episode and I feel he has seized upon this and wrote in his letter back that this could be the cause, or vestibular migraine.
He said the fact that I had tried all medication for menieres meant he thought it more likely to be migraine...would appreciate any advice...thanks
