Is It To Be Concerned About Bilateral Meniere's Disease?

I have bilateral Meniere's disease, poor balance and undergone several surgries that include a Laby and two weeks ago a decompression Sac with shunt. i am also having right weird sensation in right, mostly but also left foot sort of an ache, not painful, it is also in my right leg. This has gone on for years but seems to be getting worse. I have had neurological tests and they say all is fine.
Any suggestions as to what to do next. Also I have my days and nights mixed up. I sleep all day hard as I try not too and am awake all night. thanks

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Meniere’s disease is a disorder that affects the inner ear.The inner ear is responsible for your balance, as well as hearing. This disorder causes vertigo, hearing problems and a ringing sound in the ear.

You requires investigations like Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) testing, Posturography, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Auditory brainstem response audiometry.

You may require medications like diazepam for motion sickness, promethazine to control nausea and vomiting and medication to reduce fluid retention.
Thank you.
