Eat Low Sodium. Three simple words that can be interpreted as much as a suggestion as a command. Eat Low Sodium.com is a website dedicated to bringing the best of low sodium living to the world. Offering advice, cooking tips, recipes and support, Eat Low Sodium.com is one of the most active, inclusive and meaningful low sodium sites on the web and it’s run by today’s very special guest, Umit Demir. In addition to being a font of low sodium knowledge, Umit has Meniere’s disease and is an aide and inspiration to many sufferers, myself included.
Umit, when were you diagnosed with Meniere’s? Please tell us your story.
I was diagnosed with Meniere’s in 2006. In fact, severe ear pain started a year before the diagnosis. I used to get very stiff, aching ear (right ear mostly). Sleeping a little helped, so I did not go to a doctor for it. Then I started getting dizzy approximately once a month and I still did not go to a doctor for few months. One day I had vertigo for several hours. Lying down did not help. I was caught alone at home and could not carry myself from couch to bed. That day I decided to see an ENT as soon as I managed to walk!
My ENT doctor did not mention Meniere’s at all. After a few elaborate tests (radiology, hearing loss, allergy, etc.), he said no abnormality is seen in my tests and my problem is probably psychological more than anything else. In the meantime I noticed that I was hearing constant humming noise and could not hear words clearly especially on the phone with my left ear.
So I decided to find the best ENT doctor my health insurance could afford! Luckily the University of Miami’s Otolaryngology Department was close to where I lived. At first visit to Dr. Adrien Eshragi (MD and Associate Professor at UM) I was diagnosed with Meniere’s and asked to go through few more tests to confirm his diagnosis. That is when my life changed its course! Positively.
TESS!
