whats been your update what medicines did doctor gave you at first
How did you know when it is gone?
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Understand your predicament.
Labrynthitis and Meniere’s disease are inner ear disorders. Air travel usually causes atmospheric pressure changes, this is usually reflected in the middle ear. There are tubes called 'Eustachian tubes' which connect the middle ear to the throat, this balances the air pressure in the ears. So, cabin pressure changes may not affect inner ear disorders, so you may not face a problem with traveling.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Hi Paderla,
Thanks for your response. I would much prefer having Labyrinthitis then Menieres!
Since 3 days ago, I feel the symptoms are slowly disappearing and I have less problems keeping my balance when I walk. It's not perfect yet but psychologically I feel better about my improving condition. It's been 4-5 weeks I'm having balancing problems, the worst was 2 weeks ago.
When I get back to Canada, I'll try to do a full examination and make sure I'm back to normal. I still have another 5 airplane flights so I hope the cabin pressure won't be a problem.
Thanks again!
Arnaud
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Understand your predicament. But if you have Meniere’s disease, you would still have persistent tinnitus and maybe hearing loss. In the absence of which, Labyrinthitis goes more with your symptoms. Labrynthitis is commonly caused by viral infections. Steroids are given to reduce the inflammation. Recovery time from Labrynthitis is approximately 3 weeks. If your symptoms persist beyond this, consult your doctor to rule out other neurological causes.
