sleeping posture for patients of menneirs disease

I have had vertigo because of the inner ear problem two years back. The vertigo has gone after taking medicines for about 3 weeks. I am told that people who have this problem should always see that they sleep  turning to the right side or left side   keeping the effected ear on top. since then i am sleeping turning my body to left side , keeping my left ear on top. Surpirsingly i did not get vertigo bout in the last one and half years. Till today i have not slept with my affected ear down on the pillow. Please advise me is it correct or is it just a coincidence that i did not get vertigo in the last one and half years. Because of this i am not able to sleep comfortably through out the night,as i am allthrough the night sleeping on one side.Please advise

Hi, meniere’s disease, which  is a condition in which there is an excess of fluid in the inner ear. The excess fluid disturbs the ear’s balance and hearing mechanisms and causes tinnitus, dizziness and deafness. So, sudden changes in posture can trigger an attack, sleeping in the same position may not affect the disease. So, change the position and see. Regards.

I am told andread in the internet, that people who are having hypothyroid and taking thyroxine sodium (Thyronorm commercial name) should not consume aloevera juice. Is it true?
