Question by Skyblooms: Can there be varying degrees of Meniere’s disease?
I’ve always thought my dizzy days weren’t as harsh as what true Meniere’s consists of. Although I’ve had tinnitus for a very long time and dizziness, I’ve never become literally sick to my stomach and have very rarely experienced true vertigo…the type that makes it impossible to stand up or open your eyes.
I do however have such a terrible feeling of pressure in my head and around my nasal passages and eyes, on the bad days. On thosedays, I have it all day long, from the time I get up, and it’s only cured after sleeping the next night. Lately I have chills on those days…including goosebumps…although I’m not cold. I’ll have trouble standing in one spot and can’t STAND being around anyone. There’s often a shaky vibrating feeling to my head but when I get the chance to lay down later in the day and cover my eyes, my head feels much better, even if I don’t actually fall asleep.
I’ve recently read that sinusitis can be confused with Meniere’s and although I’ve always expected it would be obvious if I have sinus troubles or allergies, I’m starting to wonder if sinusitis is what I have. But when I read that the symptoms of sinusitis are similar, including a spacey feeling in the head, I wonder if those symptoms aren’t coming from the anti-histamines that sinus suffers take. I mainly stay away from meds with anti-histamines or sleeping aid pain relievers because I don’t want any additional spacey and lost of control feeling like they cause.
I’ve had tinnitus since I was 22 years old and I do have severe days but I’ve become accustomed to it and it only drives me crazy on the bad dizzy days. On my very bad dizzy and ear noise days, using the vacuum cleaner is the only time I can concentrate but it still doesn’t alleviate the horrible feeling of pressure within my head.

I know of two people with Meener’s disease and, they have it in the falling down and crawling stages when it hits, usually from to much salt in their diet’s. They simply cannot function unless they are laying on the ground and puking. This is meener’s disease in it’s full capacity. What you describe is a very mild stage if in fact you even have it. It could be sinuses or a full head congestion. Salt is the in between answer that sets this off.
