Anyone who has Meniere’s disease knows that there are certain foods that should be avoided in order to help keep the attacks from happening.  The Meniere’s diet is also going to help to keep the sufferer fit as well.  It is basic health that needs to be established and maintained.  There is no way around this. 

Without good health and a proper diet, the attacks may come more frequently.

When an attack occurs, the symptoms can be so debilitating that an attack can cause a break for daily routines for days and even weeks.  This is why it is so important to maintain Meniere’s diet. 

You do not want to have attacks as frequently as you would without a proper diet.

It is important to keep a close check on your cholesterol. 

  • Do not eat fatty meats. 
  • Instead, eat lean chicken, breast portions that have the skin and bones removed, fish and other lean poultry. 
  •  Only eat two eggs a week or egg whites. 
  • The yolks contain the most cholesterol. 
  • Make sure you get your proteins from these types of foods. 
  • You should also eat plenty of leafy green vegetables and also plenty of fruits. 
  • Stay away from complex carbohydrates like white bread.  Instead eat breads that are rich in grains like whole wheat bread.

These are the basic tenets for Meniere’s diet that should be followed.  Coincidentally, this diet is also the same as anyone who suffers from high cholesterol would be one.  There may be a correlation between high cholesterol and attacks of vertigo and Meniere’s disease.  Since vertigo is one of the symptoms of Meniere’s disease, it makes sense to treat both at the same time by following this low cholesterol diet. Keeping the body healthy is just as important as taking the medications that were prescribed to you.

The reason for this is that the tinnitus, along with the dizziness the person who suffers from this to experience vertigo or the feeling that the room is spinning.  The person is going to need to get to a bed immediately.  If this happens while at work, then driving home is going to be an issue.

There is not going to be any way that the victim of Meniere’s disease tinnitus is going to be able to drive or do anything really.  This can last for up to two weeks.  Most attacks only last a day or two without medication.  If medications are taken immediately, the attack can last only a few hours.

Because of all the symptoms, however, exhaustion is going to follow an attack.  Again, this can lead to not being able to work or drive a car.  A few hours of sleep can help with exhaustion, but the body may require rest for a few days at least.

For a longer attack, then more bed rest is going to be needed.  The body needs time to recover from an attack.  To answer the question, “Does Meniere’s disease tinnitus make it difficult to hold down a job?”  There is no cut and dry answer.  If a person has a good support system in place, and a company that understands the nature of an attack and is going to allow the person to leave at a minutes notice, then no, it is not difficult to hold down a job.  For those who do not have this type of support system or company that is sympathetic, then it may not be possible to work until the symptoms and attacks are under control.

What can Cause Meniere’s Disease?

Menieres Disease Vertigo

Menieres Disease Vertigo

There are many schools of thought on the actual cause of Meniere’s disease.  The most common thought is that it is caused by an injury to the inner ear.  While this is not a known fact, many physicians treat it as such.  Some of the symptoms are very like those of vertigo.  This is main symptom that is treated when treating this disease.

Some ways that the inner ear can be damaged is by a viral infection.  When a person gets an ear infection, this can cause the disease.  Some medications can also be the cause of the disease.  There are other ways that this disease can be caused but they are only speculations, not actual fact.

Vertigo is commonly known by feelings of dizziness, the room spinning, feeling like you are falling when standing upright.  Other symptoms of Meniere’s disease are nausea, vomiting, sweating and exhaustion.  The exhaustion can come from the other symptoms.  In most cases this is when an attack is on its final stages.  These symptoms can also be associated with vertigo as well.

Some of the ways that this disease can be treated is by using medications that are typically used by those who suffer from vertigo.  Drugs that are used for nausea is going to be prescribed for the vomiting.  Because an attack can make a person anxious, anti depressants or anxiety medications may be prescribed.

Meniere’s disease can be controlled by watching the diet.  Keep the cholesterol levels down and take it easy on the chocolate.  It is also important to keep the salt and the sugar that are being used to a minimum as well.  Some may want to purchase a hearing aid to help with the vertigo.  Getting the proper treatment for the ear injury will help as well.
