Anyone have Meniere's?

You have: Primary idiopathic endolymphatic hydrops (Meniere's Disease)

I developed Secondary Endolymphatic Hydrops (SEH) as a result of a vehicle accident in Iraq. The condition is very similar to Meniere's, in fact they pushed for every test they could on me to prove I had Meniere's but they couldn't determine what it was. Eventually, the army decided I was fine (even though all my symptoms still existed) because they couldn't prove otherwise. I seriously doubt the education of my military doctor for not looking at SEH first, given the vehicle accident was the origin of onset symptoms.

I only found out this year that I had SEH, because I was still having multiple issues and finally went to an audiologist who confirmed. That accident jacked me up pretty good. I suffer from random loss of balance, tinnitus, random onset dizziness and occasional pressure in my ears (fullness).

Wound up with a mild TBI, SEH and Occipital Neuralgia and a few other conditions that were aggravated by the three above all from a single vehicle accident of +/- 45MPH into a ditch in open desert...

Here is some stuff on Meniere's:

Hope that helps and I wish you the best in your treatment. I'd wish you recovery but there isn't recovery for us - just treatment and learning to live with it.

LT, did you ever find a solution to this? since last Christmas when I was hospitalized I have been dealing with different symptoms. But over the last two weeks, I have been dealing with violent headaches and vertigo. My docs don't know what is going on. Now I'm finally going to go back to the VA. The funny thing is my driver who was with me 24/7 in Iraq is starting to feel the same thing I'm going through. Any help would be appreciated.
