Nausea From Endolymphatic Hydrops Please Help! Posted: 10-20-06 13:48pm
Recently I have become incredibly
nauseated with painful fullness in the
ears and was diagnosed with an inner ear
endolympthatic hydrops problem. Head and
neck pain too. I even had a test called
vemp test which showed how my poor eyes
are confused by brain signals due to the
inner ear problem making my chronic nausea
worse. The doctor wanted to put me on
diuretics but my eyes have not only not
improved but worsened so I am too scared
to do that. Both nausea and dry eye pain
are completely unmanageable now. There is
no cure. Also can't take any
anti-histamines like otc bonine/meclizine
used for motion sickness. I am nauseated
just sitting here typing this. Reading,
writing, tv are all so hard now as nmy
nervous system is so sensitive to stimuli.
Cant take lexotan in an attempt to relax
the nervous system because that family of
drugs can cause dry eyes as well. Will
see an ear doc I saw about this a few
years ago when I had this problem this
bad, then he had prescribed
serc/betahistine. I dont know how a
histamine would affect dry eyes since it
is not an anti histamine I guess. Seems
like the things that they are most likely
to prescribe are the most likely to add to
dry eyes and since my problem began with a
medication I took for just 2 short weeks,
I worry about taking stuff that can add
more permanent problems. I cannot afford
it but am now not at work because of all
this. Any ideas appreciated.

I don't know if this will help you or not
but I hav a neuro, pain situation, along
with vision problems, dealing with neuro
and iuse morphine and other meds which
sometimes makes me nauseated and I use
promethazine to help with the nausea, I
know that when I was 1st on it it kind of
knocked me out but now since I have been
on it for awhile it does relax me, I am
not a dr but had your dr tried something
like valium to possibly relax your system,
maybe something like that might help, I
take that too, their is also some
anti-nauseation stuff that wal-mart
carries(equate) it is their brand and it
is over the counter, I don't know about
the dry eyes part on any of it, sometimes
you can talk to a pharmacist, you also
might check out the natural herb shop. I
hope you can find something that can help
you soon!
Good luck!
