living with meniere's disease

Let me start off with telling you all about myself. I'm 27 and I have two kids and up till a year ago I was making great money in the construction industry. I had a job that i love and everything seem to be looking great until one day at work it just hit me. The room started to spin and I was having a hard time keeping my balance and I was really light headed. I didn't know what to do. In my mind i just thought i was stressed and it would go away in a few days but it didn't go away. After about 3 weeks I went to a doctor and he gave me an exam and told me that it had to be something with my ears but he wasn't sure what it was. But he was sure it would go away with the pills that he gave me so I left the office tried to just relax and thought the pills would work but it didn't. I started to feel worse everyday it got to the point that I couldn't move out of bed and I wasn't eating because I felt like I was going to throw up. I really started to get scared so I went back to the doctor and he thought I should go see a person that deals with the brain and so I went to him and he had me do all types of tests and mri's and blood work but it all looked normal so I really tried to talk to him and find out what's going on with me. He told me that I could have something called meniere's disease which there is no cure but there is medicine that I could take that could help me with what I have and stop it before it gets worse and I'm thinking to myself how can it get any worse so I left the office and took the pills that he gave me and I'm still taking them. I don't feel great but I am able to move around more than I was . I'm also trying a low salt diet which is really hard if you like fast food like I do but I didn't find some great food ideas that anyone can try with this disease and if you would like more info about them i will be writing them in my next post I hope this has helped alil for anyone that is going though what im going through.
