Meniere's:

Have you been diagnosed with Meniere's?

Meniere's symptoms may include:

Attacks of vertigo (the room appears to spin) – the attacks last more than 10 minutes and may last up to several hours

Nausea and vomiting usually accompany the vertigo attacks, especially in the early stages of the disorder

A feeling of fullness in the ear at the time of the attack

Tinnitus (ringing in the ear) at the time of the attacks – some degree of tinnitus may become permanent.

Hearing loss (and often distortion of sound) in the affected ear at the time of the attack – some degree of hearing loss may become permanent if Meniere's progresses to a later stage.

People with Meniere's are encouraged to read as much as they can on this complex disorder, as there are very many treatment methods (but no cure, as yet).

Become better informed, so that you can you can enter into a useful discussion with your family doctor, your ENT specialist, or your neurologist, on the best management and treatment methods for your particular case.

There is useful information on this website, but there is a lot more available, in particular the authoritative printed brochures available from Meniere's Australia – their contact details are on the contacts page of this website.

This website:

This website was formerly the website of the Meniere's Support Group of NSW Inc. (MSGNSW). However, in mid-2009, the management committee of MSGNSW, with the approval of members, arranged for our members to become members of the new national organisation, Meniere's Australia Inc., and applied to the NSW Office of Fair Trading for the voluntary cancellation of MSGNSW as an incorporated association.

Present members of MSGNSW will have already received information about this change.

Those who are not yet members of a support group are invited to join Meniere's Australia.
