Thanks, for the reply.
Sorry, that I could not get back to you quicker, I was out of town for a few days.
I have had Menieres for about 5 years and it seems to be getting worse.
From your experience, is Menieres a progressive illness that seems to get worse over time? I to, have tried to reduce salt, but without success.
I am currently taking Triamterene/hctz 3.75/25mg. I have tried steroids, Medrol doze paks 21. Meclizine seems to make attacks less severe.
At this time, the hearing in my left ear, is very poor and it seems like I have Vertego most of the time.

Hi wayne.
as far as i know it does get worse..ive had hearing tests & they are normal, which is puzzling?
During a vertigo attack i lose hearing in my left ear. but only During an attack.
I did try a diuretic for a few days, but was allergic to it.

i feel sorry 4 anyone with MM.
