Hi my name is Christina I live in Calgary, Ab Canada. I was diagnosed with Meniere’s August 2009. But that was after i fell at work in Jan ’09, got a severe concussion. No Work mans comp i worked for a charity. Then it was post concussion syndrome, then it was this and that you get right? Sick leave ran out. EI ran out. Lost job because i was no longer able to do it. In the midst of this i fell in love. Today is our one year but im staying my moms because my now fiance is so overwhelmed with me being sick that he has asked for a one month break. He has no sympathy. He always says suck it up the world doesnt owe you anything. How do i suck it up when my ears hurt, the ringing, the nausia, the dizzyness. I get up i fall down. Today i can barely hear out of my right ear and i think im getting a cold or maybe its just a symptom i dont know. He says hes overwhelmed. He says he just doesnt have it in him to care about everything. What about me! huh? i feel trapped i feel out of control. I cant work. i cant go to the gym. I cant stand up with my baby niece because everyones worried i might get dizzy and fall down. I hate this, How i am i just suppose to suck it up and carry on all i want to do is cry in my bed. Nobody in my life gets its. I read your blog and you get it. You do. Im angry too. I want my life back. I dont want to feel like this anymore. Im on SERC but what its done is made the attacks only last 20 minutes or so when they were lasting hours which is one good thing i can tie up my shoes and pick up my purse again. but now the fluctuating hearing loss is whats getting me and the ringing well everything i guess. It feels like i take one step forward and two steps back. You helped! at least someone else gets it. I will keep reading your blog i like to talk to you even if its just email. I think itll help. Thank-you Everheardofvertigo. i like that its from a song. Christina
