Long overdue, added the following
information to the Treatment Page:
Stugeron, (cinnarizine)
(not available in the U.S.).
Stugeron is an antihistamine that is
also a vestibular sedative. The purpose of Stugeron in treating
Meniere's Disease is to prevent or reduce vertigo and hence the
resultant nausea by sedating the vestibular system. Stugeron is
commonly prescribed in the U.K. and is not available in the U.S.
Disability lawyers.
Note: We don't endorse, recommend, or refer to lawyers.
The following lawyers are listed simply because they have websites (or
other Internet links) that connect them with the disability
representation of patients with Meniere's Disease.
Updated the link to Dr. Hain in the
following section on the Diagnosis Page:
Electronystagmography (ENG) (caloric stimulation test). Vertigo is induced by warm
or cold water or air introduced into the outer ear; the patient's eye
movements (called "nystagmus") are then observed to the extent that
they occur.
Videonystagmography (VNG).
VNG is similar to ENG (above), except that eye movements are studied
with cameras that are incorporated into goggles; a video recording is
made of the eye movements.
