FYI
The symptoms of Ménière’s disease occur suddenly and can arise daily or as infrequently as once a year. Vertigo, often the most debilitating symptom of Ménière’s disease, typically involves a whirling dizziness that forces the sufferer to lie down. Vertigo attacks can lead to severe nausea, vomiting, and sweating and often come with little or no warning.
Some individuals with Ménière’s disease have attacks that start with tinnitus (ear noises), a loss of hearing, or a full feeling or pressure in the affected ear. It is important to remember that all of these symptoms are unpredictable. Typically, the attack is characterized by a combination of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss lasting several hours. People experience these discomforts at varying frequencies, durations, and intensities. Some may feel slight vertigo a few times a year. Others may be occasionally disturbed by intense, uncontrollable tinnitus while sleeping. Ménière’s disease sufferers may also notice a hearing loss and feel unsteady all day long for prolonged periods. Other occasional symptoms of Ménière’s disease include headaches, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. A person’s hearing tends to recover between attacks but over time becomes worse.
it sucks to know that someone is in pain, and they have given you so much joy and peace in your life and you can’t do the same for them. it also sucks reading the negative “reblogging” from people. i dont know much about this little tumblr space but i hope that its never a place where someone rewrites me and makes me feel uncomfortable about desisions i have made, words that i feel…its just my place to write my shit down.
