It helps somewhat but my doctor says I have permanent damage in my ear from the migraine/neurological issues. My doctor states that this is a neurological problem and, hence, all my neurological symptoms. From his handout, “Most think of it as a headache problem but it has become apparent in recent years that many patients suffer from symptoms of migraine who do not have a headache as a dominant symptom. These patients have a primary complaint of dizziness, ear pain, ear or head fullness, “sinus” pressure and even fluctuating hearing loss”.** That’s me. The new thinking is , according to my doctor, “the tiny blood vessels in the inner ear are innervated by branches of the same nerve that innervates the intracranial blood vessels severely affected in migraine attacks. Individuals with Menieres who have been treated effectively for Migraine see improvement in their Menieres symptoms. This has been my experience.” Meniere’s Disease is very rare and yet so many people suffer from vertigo. He REQUIRED me to read “Heal Your Headaches: The 1-2-3 Program” by David Buchholz, M.D. What now helps my ear fullness, ear pain and tinnitus the most is Allegra and/or Nasonex. This is how I know it is not Menieres. They would not work for Menieres because they do not get to the inner ear. They do, however, reduce swelling around the nerves. By the way, I have permanent hearing loss in my bad ear. Nothing helps that. I sure wish I could have been on this program since 2008 when I first had an attack. I searched for good help for 4 years. In these last 4 years my hearing has remained about the same. My tinnitus really fluctuates from bad to almost gone. Never gone. So far, the diet, trigger avoidance and Allegra all help to keep the vertigo at bay. My next challenge is to try and get through the hot summer months without an attack, as heat is a real problem for me. Just so you know, it takes about 3 years for people to wrap their head around this whole thing. They do not want to believe it or they cannot understand all of it at once. I’ve been there.
