It may be worth checking out that it really is Meniers, and not something else going on in the brain and or ears.

same as my sister in law. In her case at age 26. urgent removal 2 days after it was detected. Doc wanted to put her on anti depressants as she was going to see him every week. it also caused her face to drop and she had to have an eye stiched closed for 2 months. She was funding her nursing by modeling at the time so that had to stop.
She now has a bone anchor earing aid, finished her nursing degree and now works on an ENT ward. Funny is with phone when she puts it to the wrong ear and says somebody is p1ssing about there is noone there.
Bri, as Messie says ensure it is Meniers and nothing more sinister. You met my mate with Meniers at my 50th. It certainly isn't life destroying. but life changing.
