Oh no, are you ill? Or hung over? |
Ménière's disease is a wonderful thing. For those who don't have it. |
I had to look it up; it sounds awful. I hope you can at least manage the symptoms.
And sorry to derail Quack's thread. |
(from Quack's birthday thread, so as not to derail).
The only way so far I've found to cope with the symptoms is taking some antiemetics and stay laying down in a dark room, with as few visual and auditory stimuli as possible.
The annoying part for me (ie, with regard to my professional life) is the temporary lateral deafness. A few weeks ago, I was a guest singer at a gig in Nice, and was totally deaf in my left ear. As my stage monitor was to my left, I had almost no feedback and hilarious out-of-key singing ensued.
But really, pucking about 15 times a day is not all it's cracked up to be. Taking a shot of vodka around noon, however, kind of reduces the dizziness and vertigo. I'd like to get the surgery to resolve the problem, but there's a 50/50 chance that I'll lose my hearing in one or both ears, so I'm not taking that risk yet (bread and butter, mixing new album's demo, yadayada...) |
Ugh, my father has it, and I'm showing early signs.
Much love, brother.
