Just been reading your post of a year ago. Did you manage to follow the advice ?

Could you post your blood test results with ranges for your Thyroid - AND for B12- Ferritin - Folate - VitD - Iron.

ALSO the thyroid anti-bodies - Anti-TPO - Anti-Tg.

Hi sorry not yet, last Oct they said I was on too much & reduced it bk to 100, last moth increased it bk to 125 as I really dropped & fatigue was exhausting as the menieres started in may they bn concentrating on that said mwy be a link

[Marz in reply to Elaine25]

I have read here that it is a bad plan to reduce or change medication according to the blood test results. Am I right in thinking that Menieres is an auto-immune condition ? If it is - have you been tested for auto-immune thyroiditis - Hahsimotos ? If not then the anti-bodies are called - Anti-TPO and Anti-Tg....please try to have them tested and the others suggested in the post above. We really do have to take care of ourselves and make things happen. Everyone here will help you and support.

Have you researched the effect salt has on

Menieres? X

[Elaine25 in reply to jkiuyt]

No I will look into it thanks

There seems to be a strong link between attacks and salt intake. Google it hun, there's lots of info out there on it. Hope it helps you. X

My mum has late onset hypothyroidism and Meniere's also. She eats hardly any salt at all, and after 2 years of attacks certainly weekly if not daily, the meds seem to have kicked in and none for 5 months (fingers crossed!) She will be 90 next month.

The deafness has not resolved at all and I think it is permanent, she has discovered that digital hearing aids are worse than the old type, but they are very hard to come by.

She finds that by concentrating hard on her hands held close to her face can ease an attack (stopping the swirling etc) so that might help you until the meds can kick in. She is on the highest dose though.

Good luck, it is truly an horrendous thing Menieres, saps your energy and confidence too.
