Raeyn<p>This week is a week of floating my teeth, ha ha. So like, Meniere's Disease is poorly understood, but one of the big theories is fluid build-up in the inner ear. So stuff like diuretics and low salt diets are often prescribed. </p><p>But for me... I don't retain water. Like, I didn't even in pregnancy. So when I started having more wobbles after dinner, I'm like... more water after dinner? Doctor is like sure, sounds good. </p><p>And this week it finally docked in my dim head that heyee, maybe actually drinking sufficient water during the day will help too, you dumb sweet potato self. Unsurprisingly, it helps :p So just gotta sit on myself to remember to drink a reasonable number of pints during the day, instead of like, half of one and a few sodas. It's not like I mind drinking water, I just sort of forget. xD</p><p>Past that, last day of work for a week, woo, etc. Spouse booked us off for half-term; we're not going anywhere or doing anything, which is perfect. We definitely have a preference for staying home and chilling. The only thing planned is to get Chinese tonight. We always get enough for two nights because of delivery costs, so nom nom, beef chow mein for me.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/dailylog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dailylog</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/deardiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deardiary</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/menieresdisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>menieresdisease</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/raventhecat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>raventhecat</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/catsofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>catsofmastodon</span></a></p>

Raeyn<p>Just got back from my 1st Annual ENT Appointment. My hearing hasn't gotten any worse in the past year, which is win. The doctor and I are satisfied that medication is well managing my Meniere's Disease, though we reserve the right to tinker up my main med if needed. We're in agreement about titrating off of Prochlorperazine, because I'm not convinced it's actually helping. It's not hurting though, so. We'll see.</p><p>Today is also awesome, 'cause we are *finally* getting a shower in. Our handyman is only... oh... 13 months late on doing it, but we forgive him. He's had health issues, and he's also been training up his daughter as his apprentice, so busy.</p><p>Right, gotta get back to work. I'd like to get stuff done before my normal knocking off time, so I've got bonus caffeine and am trying to find a bit of focus. So it goes.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/deardiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deardiary</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/dailylog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dailylog</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/menieresdisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>menieresdisease</span></a></p>

Steve B<p>Horrible bad day thanks to Ménière&#39;s disease. It’s the first really bad attack in almost a year, so grateful for that. But my god today it seriously reminded me of its existence. </p><p>Eventually passed around 5pm, after kicking in around 11am. Been laying down all day but now I’m just exhausted, which is normal after such an episode. </p><p>Hopefully it’s just a one off and not the sign of another bad period ahead. </p><p>On a plus, I did binge Bodies on Netflix. Which was rather good. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/menieresdisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>menieresdisease</span></a></p>

I suffer from <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/MenieresDisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MenieresDisease</span></a>, a type of vertigo. I frequently have to deal with those physical symptoms (although thankfully not the 'Alice in Wonderland' effects. I don't think people realise just how debilitating it can be, your article covered that extremely well.</p>
Steve B<p>For the first time in months my Ménière&#39;s disease is back with a vengeance this afternoon. It’s been creeping up on me for about a week now, but since I’ve learnt to manage it now, it hasn’t really gotten bad for over a year. Today though it just wanted to show itself big time and remind me that it’s in charge. </p><p>So it’s early to bed and hope it settles tomorrow, as I’ve some busy days in the garden ahead getting it ready for my youngests graduation party on Thursday. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/menieresdisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>menieresdisease</span></a></p>

Amber Hieb<p>The persistent tinnitus in both my ears is significantly louder this morning, which results in reduced ability to hear overall. Not knowing how long it will last or if it will get worse is the most challenging part to manage. Last fall, I was effectively deaf for 4 months and managed through it, but it was exhausting. I don't feel ready for another round. I feel sad and frustrated. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/menieres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>menieres</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/menieresdisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>menieresdisease</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tinnitus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tinnitus</span></a></p>
