Hi, I too have this disease, and I certainly agree, it can come up
on me anytime at all, the worst I havehad was 3 weeks ago, after i
spent 1 1/2 hrs in the dentist chair, it lasted 12 hrs,
my guestion is is it a good idea to fly, or not, as we realy dont know
what causes it, other than a build up of fluid in the ear, is there some
pill, much like a water pill, that could be used to help get rid of excess water ??
any ideas ,
thanks

In response to some med I am on to help control the dizziness
it is called, serc, now it does have a much longer name, but the is
all that is diplayed on my med bottel.
I take up to 4 a day, as each one is 8 mg
but it works, and certainly keeps things under control
I am wondering if any one has any info on flying with
this ailment, would appeciate any info or experiense,
thanks karren

Hi there, was wondering if you had any luck getting the med serc.
I have a new prescription here and this is what is says ,
serc, betahistine , registared tradmark under solvay pharma
hope this is of some use to you ,
still wondering , about the flying, hmmmm

This illness is likely the case of my life long problem aswell. Symtoms come around after getting hurt, or getting sick etc. It is surprising that noone has mentioned PANIC ATTACKS though much in any of the forums since the symptoms are very similar. I have used many panic attack management techniques to control the illness. I have never used meds for it. Like many illnesses, this is one that can be managed when an episode does come around. I mean there is definately a distinct pattern. TRIGGERS.

Serc, (novo betehistine) is what the doctor prescribed me... even though i did not complain about any dizziness or vertigo.

I have been suffering from meniers for many
years, it comes and goes. it is at a point where it's affecting my lifestyle. i am looking for help to deal with this, i am seeing a doctor in boston as my last hope he does injections in the ear, and also surgery, if their ia someone out their who could give me somehope, please send a message. thank you
