Update since Starting Meniett

Since May 9th I have began the following treatments: Started doing the Meniett device at least twice a day, started taking 16mg of Serc (betahistine hydrochloride) three times a day, started allergy densensitization injections on a weekly basis.

Since around May 15th, I have had one Meniere's attack that was brought on by my bad behavior - I drank coffee, even though I know I'm not supposed too!

Other than that attack, I have had no Meniere's symptoms in my bad ear related to hydrops and my tinnitus has improved drastically to the point where it is barely audible and my hearing has gotten quite a bit better.

The Meniett seems to help keep a general state of equilibrium going in the ear and I believe the Serc is helping with excess fluid as well and is a big part of the tinnitus improvement. I don't know how long this will last or whether or not for sure which treatments are helping most, but I thought this update may be helpful.
