Hi, I'm Portuguese and I'm 56 years old. Sorry for my bad english . I suffer from Meniere since I was 13 years old. I have the disease present in both ears . In the right ear since the 9/10 years old I have profound deafness. In the left ear now i have a serious deafness and use auditory prosthetic since 1991. I have suffered over the years some episodes of vertigo. All quite intense that lasted from 24 pm until 15 days continuous. I also had a few years without any symptoms. Between 2000 and 2004 were difficult years in terms of Meniere's attacks. Although my balance is affected, I had some years without crises or few episodes of vertigo. In 2011 I made a cochlear implant in right ear. After that I had some problems with vertigo again. Start now to have daily a permanent state of dizziness, head feels heavy, I feel some nausea and I feel very tired. It was forwarded to me now, that I have bi-lateral vestibular hypofunction with preponderance on the right. I have done vestibular rehabilitation.

Although all these years has struggled to keep myself professionally active, I had periods in which there was not able to do. I still professionally active but beginning to have more difficulty in concentrating and do different tasks. I'm afraid of what these symptoms mean (in the meniere) and how hard it can be. Can you help me? Can you clarify me?
I enjoyed meeting people with experiences similar to mine and that wanted to say me how is your day-to-day. I'll do the same.
Thanks for all . Lisa
