No problem. There are many different versions of these exercises... Key is not to switch them up before giving any one a chance to work. From what I've read, 5-7 days is a good period of time to do these exercises to see if one has the desired effects, but some report 2 weeks.No i hadnt thank you DDave. The appointment was mostly a brush off. He removed some buildup since i was already there but aside from that he said to ask my GP for a Neuro referral. I didnt have huge hopes but i was hoping for a more through exam than looking in my ear and up my nose
@DDave how have you been?Hey @ataxian ,
Thanks! God Bless you too! I researched ATAXIA (SCA) when I read your postings and am really happy to hear you've found this relief! And due to your postings, I am really wanting to try Cactus Cooler strain! That strain has a prominent place in some of your postings, proudly sitting between your multiple Solos.. I think your pictures are awesome! And Sincere Thank You for your contributions to FC and its members. You inspired me to get out there and help!
Not sure if you're on the same quest as I, but I had Menier's for 5-6 years. Took just about 5 years for the diagnosis. Then I was blessed to find MMJ and I was in control again. So, now I'm here to give something back and help others find their relief!
I too replaced almost all pharmaceutical medicine I was taking with MMJ. A true gift!
It's great to know you and read your updates on FC! Have an awesome day!
DDave
PS. Why was this natural medicine passed up? Because government and big pharmaceutical companies can't have the monopoly on growing, distribution, and sales. Because it's fairly easy to become self-sufficient.... and where's their profits then?
Hi @ataxian,

I'm sorry you're in this situation.
Hope TBreak doesn't have to last much longer.

I am sorry to hear this as well! And for anyone who suffers loss of balance.My husband had labyrinthitis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinthitis a few years back: not Menier's but miserably dizzy while issues lasted.
I believe you are so strong!I wish I had been using this thread to track the spins, even when able to instantly relieve them with mmj. Most events were light, so got lazy and didn't keep track of them.
Well, tracking this one. Sunday afternoon felt an episode of the spins coming on. Timing could not be worse. TBreak for work reasons, so have been riding this one out.
Sunday afternoon to evening - felt like a ship in rough waters. Ears ringing.
Monday - lost the day. The world an ocean of stormy seas! Fog horns in the ears! Almost
Today - ship in moderate waters. Back to ears ringing. Feeling like
I cannot believe the irony of having the cure in a lock-box next to my bed and being unable to touch it. I can't afford to reset the clock on the TBreak!
Ever do this when you were a kid?
I did. But now the chair won't stop and I can't get off of it!!!

When TBreak is over, and spins again happen, this
I tried to make the Q work?@ataxian
Had to run some errands, and what a nice message to come back to! I'm a bit at a loss for words. (a rarity for me, I know).
I'm really sorry to hear about your fall today! I've been there as well! Hope all is ok! Most often an ice pack and a few bowls takes care of it fairly well.
I'm happy to hear about your Q working better now! It's a great unit that should serve you well for many many years!
The spins do suck! But with the support of family and friends (present company included), it really makes things much easier.
Thanks for the message! I feel better already!

For those who suffer from this debilitating condition, I sincerely hope you find the same relief!!!!!

MMJ & finally I was given the gift of life once more!!!!!
========================================================================
I have Meniere's disease and was ready to call it quits. After time, there wasn't a day that passed where the world wasn't spinning in overdrive and my head felt like a swollen hot air balloon. There were no activities with the family, no outings, rarely entertained guests. There is a cure for this, with a horrible side effect.... through surgery, they remove the part of your ears that handles balance and the dizziness goes away. The only thing is, the same part of your ear handles hearing too. So you trade losing the dizziness for your hearing. I went to doctors, specialists, and many others with "ists" at the end of their titles.... all with no progress towards gaining any resemblance of a normal life.
I was actually considering the surgery, as at all times my movements were hampered by lack of balance and nausea.... seasoned with the fear of starting a full blown episode (lasting 8+ hours, zero mobility, on my back, and throwing up constantly....).
By accident, I came upon a journal entry from another Meniere's sufferer who found relief with MMJ. That day, I was out getting my req and supplies.
So, in regards to this being a medicine, I'd back this absolutely.
Please share this with anyone if you feel it's appropriate or can help them.
I don't like to end on the negative, so will state that Meniere's has very little on me now. As for daily dizziness, it's gone!!!! I can walk without stumbling, run, bike, swim, and do all the things I never thought I would be able to do again. And as for the full blown episodes, yeah, they come once or twice a year.... but when they do I no longer spend 8 hours pressed into whatever surface I happen to be laying on, throwing up non-stop till passing out. Nope, when I feel an episode, I heavily medicate, then go sleep it off!
I went from ready to call it quits, to hoping I live to be 100-something!
When people state that MMJ is a gift, I believe many really have no idea!
Hope this helps and sorry for the amount of detail.....
Vape On!

Update for those suffering Menier's or maybe any dizziness in general. So yesterday, got the warning signs that I was in for another day of the spins, so got prepped to medicate and sleep it off (writing the whole rest of the day off as a result). New strain this time. Fire OG, loaded Herbie bowl, two lung busting rips...
As the effects came on, as always, I noticed my symptoms going away, but what surprised me is they kept going away! This time THEY WENT AWAY 99% (1% as still had a feeling of fullness in the ears as when you get water in them from swimming, but none of the other symptoms remained.) No dizziness, no nausea, no lightheadedness... nothing... I was able to go back to normal activities... THIS WAS A FIRST! (Was even able to take a 3 mile hike approx 90 minutes after medicating).
This is only one time I have ever had this type of result with any strain, and Menier's doesn't always have the same severity or combination of symptoms, so will be "testing" further episodes against this strain when possible. May be some time before I can input more, as my attacks only come approx 2 times a year now.
But on the chance this could spare someone else a bout of spins or nausea, just keep the strain in mind...
It was...
To sum it up, I was able to get back to normal activities... THIS ROCKS!
