re morbus meniere is there a real remedy in article pitt uucp geb cs pitt edu gordon banks writes in article lindaec jglk fxm netcom com lindae netcom com writes my biggest resentment is the doctor who makes it seem like most people with dizziness can be cured that s definitely not the case in most cases like i said above it is a long tedious process that may or may not end up in a partial cure be sure to say chronic dizziness not just dizziness most patients with acute or subacute dizziness will get better the vertiginous spells of meniere s will also eventually go away however the patient is left with a deaf ear all true and all good points to anyone suffering with vertigo dizziness or any variation thereof my best advice to you as a fellow sufferer is this just keep searching don t let the doctors tell you there s nothing that can be done do your own research and let your this may have helped you but i m not sure it is good general advice the odds that you are going to find some miracle with your own research that is secret or hidden from general knowledge for this or any other disease are slim when good answers to these then spending a great deal of time and energy on the medical problem may divert that energy from more productive things in life a limited amount should be spent to assure yourself that your doctor gave you the correct story but after it becomes clear that you are dealing with a problem for which medicine has no good solution perhaps the best strategy is to join the support group and keep abreast of new findings but not to make a career out of it well making a career out of it is a bit strong i still believe that doing your own research is very very necessary i would not have progressed as much as i have today unless i had spent the many hours in stanford s med library as i have done and years ago it was clear that there was no medicine that would help me so should i have stopped searching thank goodness i didn t now i found that there is indeed medicine that helps me i think that what you ve said is kind of idealistic that you would go to one doctor get a diagnosis maybe get a second opinion and then move on with your life just as an example having seen of the top specialists in this field in the country i have received different diagnoses these are the top names the ones that people come to from all over the country i have had to sort all of this out myself going to a support group and in fact heading that support group was helpful for a while but after a point i found it very unproductive it was much more productive to do library research make phone calls and put together the pieces of the puzzle myself a recent movie lorenzo s oil offers a perfect example of what i m talking about if you haven t seen it you should it s not a put down of doctor s and neither is what i m saying doctors are only human and can only do so much but there are those of us out here who are intelligent and able to sometimes find a missing piece of the puzzle that might have otherwise gone unnoticed i guess i m biased because dizziness is one of those weird things that is still so unknown if i had a broken arm or a weak heart or failing kidneys i might not have the same opinion that s because those things are much more tangible and have much more concise definitions and treatments with dizziness you just have to decide to live with it or decide to live with it while trying to find your way out of it i have chosen the latter linda lindae netcom netcom com gordon banks n jxp skepticism is the chastity of the intellect and geb cadre dsl pitt edu it is shameful to surrender it too soon
