Unfortunately yes.

Ive had it since I was in my mid 20's, my dad had it too.:(

I find relief in loud music. :eek: This way I can sleep without the constant Berrrrrhhhhhing noise in my head.
But life goes on.:)

I used to, I havent had one for a while.
The worst one was when I was about 20 and I went for smoko for the boys, I stood at the counter at the milkbar and the counter started to slowly, slowly, every so slowly rise up, of course it was me going down.

I havent had a bad attack for some time but always carry the Stemitel.

Al :(

have you got grommets in your ears? I know someone with it, and they have had a lot of relief with the grommets apparently.

All I can think about with grommets, is Junior surfers. :eek:

I dont think I am that badly off after all, if they have to fit grommets to your ears.

Al :eek:

bad disease, no cure, my father in law suffers from it. Yes, salt is a no-no

I dont take salt as such, but I suppose it is in every food bought.
