Meniere's Disease anyone?

[Bathsheba]

My step-mum has it. It came on during her late 40's I think. She has had to stop driving and riding her horses . I've never seen her during an attack. She is a pretty private person but I have been reading a bit about it. I hope you can find some supprt. Keep us updated... I'm very interested too.

Hi there everyone.
Just wanted to let you know how my mum was going.
She's been 'salt free' ( that's basically how I see it, lol), for a couple of weeks, and it really does seem to have worked. She has had 2 very small attacks since changing her diet. She's still working full time, driving and doing everything she was doing before, which is great. She's just getting over the 'novelty' of her new diet. She joined the VIC menieres support group and the info she has been sent has helped her immensely.
So, just thought I'd let you all kow howshe's going, and thank you all for your help

great to hear!! the salt thing really is the best thing to avoid!

Hmm, my step mum doesn't seem to avoid salt.... although I only see her a few times a year as we live interstate... last time I saw her she seemed ok about joining us in eating a very salty Chinese meal... but maybe that was a special treat for her? Thanks for the info girls

interesting bath, for me salt was and still is on occasions the trigger for dizziness! i still read the sodium contents in packaged foods!!
