Oh Lacey, I just found this thread. I imagine you must have been frightened. It would have been hard to to! You did the right thing though and I'm so happy to hear she feels better today........

We've read about different things people do to minimize symptoms, but it seems that what helps one person, doesn't help another (if that makes any sense). Basically what i am getting at it the doctor told my mom there's really not a whole lot she can do when it hits besides fix her eyes on one spot to try to minimize the dizziness, which in turn minimizes the vomiting, but for the most part she just has to ride it out...
I pray she is never alone when it happens...and if she is, then she is able to contact one of us to get there for her ASAP!

Thank you, Susie. You all are so kind.
aww Lacey, I'm sorry that your mum went through this and that it was so distressing for you and your dad.
As well as anything the doctor can do, it can't do any harm to try some of the tips others have tried to see which of them work for your mum. This is something we have looked into with my daughter who suffers extreme vertigo too. The question of Menieres has been raised in relation to her too, as there is a long line of history on my husband's side too linked to inner ear problems.
Sending lots of vibes for you and your mum. I hope there is no repeat of this anytime soon.

thank you, Jan
Lacey, I'm sending vibes your mom's way. It must have been terribly upsetting for you, but the fact that the doctors have come up with a diagnosis should be a bit reassuring. Hang in there!
Thank goodness you and your dad were there! That was so great that you were able to help her out the way you did!!! Plenty of health vibes coming for your mom!!

Lacey, a review of that info about Menieres Disease says it is basically a "rule-out" diagnosis. If the symptoms cannot be explained by anything else, it is Menieres. I don't know how they could decide for sure that is the problem in the ER! It seems to me that she needs to see a good neurologist for a thorough evaluation!Originally Posted by LaceyDF
She was out for a while, then the doctor finally came in and did tests and, to make an even longer story short, he thinks she has what is called "Meniere's Disease". I
I apologize for making this so long, but it really scared me alot.

Best of luck to you and your parents. I am so happy you were there and insisted on calling 911! Wise daughter!

The doctor had heard that my mom's ear, nose, and throat specialist had said that she had just about every symptom of it being Meniere's...but I guess this incident really put the icing on the cake. Everything that happened to her and has been happening in the past points straight to this "disease"...after many tests in the ER the doctor told us there wasn't anything else (by the results) that it would have been, besides this.
Lacey, your Mum is in my thoughts!
