Several years ago I was diagnosed with Meniers disease. After 2 years of failed treatments my doctor cut me loose and told me he couldn't help me any further. He advised me to make major lifestyle changes and I might get some relief. My problem was with drop attacks and constant poor balance and to a lesser extent, ear ringing and loss of hearing in one ear. Out of desperation I contacted a Meniers network near to me and was given a recipe for supplements that were said to help with the Meniers symptoms which were related to autoimmune problems. I reluctantly bought the supplements at considerable expense and now 7 months later I am 100% free from poor balance and drop attacks and my hearing is much better. You are definitely on the right track Dr Clark, keep educating us.
My vertigo was non - existent during my pregnancy but came back just one week after. I'm baffled. I really appreciate your videos. Finally, someone with answers!
I woke up with Virtigo a few days ago, got checked and have been taking meds and resting. Am feeling better today but still a little off. Thank you for your video, I wasn't told anything about auto immune system which I already know mine is low from previous medical complications. Now how to improve my auto immune system cause it's scary when this dizziness hits especially when im fine for hours than drive and it comes back. Great video!
WOW!!! I'm sooo glad I came across this video.....I've had vertigo for almost four year now, and my balance has been off for two years now and it's getting worse, I've been through the doctors and physical therapy, it's not helping me at all, I really would love to get back to being myself again, this is depressing!!!!!......Iim a mother of four kids and hurts me to not be able to go out and run and play with my kids and so much more...it really affects my life .......so if u could please help
I believe you 100 percent!!! I was just diagnosed with vertigo and I have Sarcoidosis. I will be asking about this test for sure. Thanks Doc!!
Hi doctor i have severe vertigo i take antivert for it at the beggining it used to hellp but now i take it and i actually feel worse :( i suffer from depression and havinfg this disease makes me feel even more helpless , i can only sleep on my right side and cannot turn in bed to the left because the feeling is so horrible i some times think the day will come when im going to be completely dissabled because of this condition, having verrtigo is the most horrible thing a human being can experi
Thanks for the information but how about sharing the name of the paper/research with us so we can show our doctors here in Australia.
Oh doctor ive had vertigo for all my life but had severe episodes around 14 years where i had dizzy spells that did not go away for 3 days straight then i moved and it got a little better but ever since that time ii havent been "normal" i walk wobbly and get episodes where i can be dizzy for days straight non stop
Hi Dr. Davis,
I am so glad to finally find someone understands what I'm going through. I've been suffering from vertigo on and off for a few years now. Every time it comes, I have severe indigestion problem as well. It usually starts with a migraine. I've gone to the several doctors, because I don't know if it's because of the indigestion that's causing my vertigo or the other way around. It may not even have a connection.
I cried listening to you speak because now I know I'm not crazy.
I'm happy you found someone to check for autoimmune problems. Now...the question whether they know how to do anything for an autoimmune problem, or if they know how to find one besides looking for antibodies (unreliable). I wish you good fortune.
so what do i do to fix Meniere's ?????????
Yes, hearing loss can be caused by autoimmune attack on the inner ear.
I had a bad case of Vertigo once. I woke up one night to go to the bathroom and I was so dizzy I was stumbling around in the dark. It makes your stomach feel sick too, which is not fun. I still get it in the morning sometimes when I wake up but it goes away within a few minutes or so.
Possibly. The "falling backwards"symptoms concern me greatly. Usually that type of symptom points to a bilateral problem in the medulla, cerebellum or midbrain. Now, the immune system could be a factor---there could be an autoimmune attack on the brain that's behind all this. Keep in mind, I am not diagnosing your child nor is this a substitute for actual examination.
you really got point Doctor...i got this problem for 4 years now and my gp did not able to help me feel better and did not even told me exactly what iam having they just prescribed me different types of medicine that did not help my case ..thanks for posting this video it helps me to understand what maybe causing me this illness!!
Help PLEASE. Sometimes my body will move back and forth or side to side it affects my balance & walking, far off vision, thinking, slured speech, studder. Started Dec 2011 went ER. They thought I was having a stroke. Hospitalized 3 day. Had heart test, MRI on my brain and arteries. Neurolgist said Vertigo or middle ear virus. ENT doctor he said it is not my middle ear. Heart doctor said my irregular heart beat not causing this. Said see a Movement disorder Neuroglist. Has increased over time.
THANK YOU! I just tested positive for MS and NMO. They never would have found it had I not seen this. THANK YOU!
My 72-year-old father has been diagnosed with Vertigo. He gets frequent ear infections, has diabetes (mostly uncontrolled), and is slightly overweight. He has also had shingles terribly! His balance seems fine. But anytime he lays down to sleep, he feels like the room is spinning, and it causes him to become nauseated and lose sleep. He battles the vertigo by sleeping in a recliner. Having his head elevated quite a bit appears to help. Does this fit the profile for an autoimmune disorder? Help?
YOU. ARE. AMAZING. Thank you SO very much for this!! I think you may have just changed my life forever.
@luckyfire3 Not necessarily. Stress can make any person's dizziness, tinnitus worse--whether the cause was autoimmune or not. Stress decreases blood flow to peripheral tissues and causes chemical changes that make nerve cells less efficient.
I had alopicia areata and now I have a vertigo .
Thanks for the information. How do we get this Auto immune test done? I have been suffering since last 3 months and getting severe attacks of vertigo every month .
I have Hashimoto's & Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. I'm getting a VNG test done next week
Dr. Clark, can you give me the title of the study and what journal it is published in?
Damn just got vertigo a few days back and it sucks! I have trouble standing up and all my Doctor said about is drink this and that, made a movement test that police officers do to drunk people. Has said my condition was ok, but when i woke up after my midday sleep i was feeling even dizzier than ever.
@clarkchiro Dr. Clark I had my third episode of this spaced over 5 yrs apart. When it hits it is like ohhh god not this again...It is quick I have a tilting swooosh effect. I have about 8 min. or so before I am incapacitated. I feel the need to squat low shut my eye's as the light effects me terribly..I feel like a magnet that can move, eyelids heavy, violent vomiting starts, then off to the er in an ambulance.. this time it lasted from 5 in the evening to 11 at night.
I have Minieres since my second baby was born and my symptoms which are dizzy, Balance in the dark and light, tinnitus, and more are getting worse for a year now. I had few tests but doctors still can't figure out and finally got my test done for autoimmune after a year of torture. Will see. Also think its my spinal fluid pressure. Just want to say how sad it is that doctors always want to give drugs but actually don't cure or find out what's actually wrong! Thank you for this video, I hope th
well how should they check?....thanks
I now know MS is in my family history (mom diag.at 77 yrs old). any potential connection ? although statistics say I wont develop MS. What helps me is knowing others have it chronic & function,so should suck it up & not whine.I'd really like a brain scan just to see
I have a 7 year old that now experiences a dizziness that he says he feels like he is falling backwards, also complains of jaw pain. He is unable to walk without assistance, and or he crawls. This happened when he was 11 minths old. He started to walk and then quit at 11 months and did not walk again until 20 months old. He finds that being inverted/upside down releives some of the symtoms. Would the functional immune system eval help here?
I have the same symptoms as you and I do have tinnitus and vertigo
...I got mine due to a car accident..
I cried listening to you because now I know I'm not crazy. I've been suffering from vertigo on and off for a few years now. Every time it comes on, I have severe indigestion problem. Is there a connection there? I don't know if it's because of the vertigo that's causing the indigestion or the other way around. I've been to doctors, but I haven't found someone who could understand what I'm going through. I live in northern CA and I'm not sure who to go to.
Psoriatic Arthritis, connected to vertigo?
Dr. Clark: I recently came down with vertigo. After it persisted for about a week I went in to see an ENT Dr. and he diagnosed that I had "--------------" (sorry, diagnoses escapes me), basically, an inflammation in one of my semi-circular canals causing the crystals to move out of position and cause veritigo. This was evident more so in one ear than the other. I was scheduled for an Epley maneuver but canceled it since the symptoms almost completely subsided on their own after 1 week. However, a week later, they are back. Almost a month between initial onset and the return. In 2006 I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis and use Humira to control it. I am mostly symptom free when on Humira as long as I inject at the prescribed interval (which I occasionally fail to do when feeling good). I should probably mention the vertigo to my Rheumatologist as well.
Obviously, PA is a malfunction of the auto-immune system. Curious as to your thoughts and encounters with people suffering from vertigo and arthritis.
Thanks!

Mike, yes in your case the two can be connected (not in every patient). I think you should watch my more detailed video on vertigo. Go to this page and fill out the form in the yellow box so you can watch it: doctordavidclark.com/vertigo
Its good to hear something other than a "rock slide" . There has to be other causes,
but BPPV is always the easiest conclusion.I had 1 mild bout several years ago BPPV & in recent months 1 debilitating,days to recover fully & 2 lesser bouts, but it let me know "I'm here". Now it seems to be lurking at all times,just laying low & hinting.
Thank you David. Finally, the pieces of the puzzle fit!
Be well.
Hi. Sorry, I listed my T4 as 0.67 and it's the FreeT4. I thought I was saving a word and didn't realize that there is a difference. :)
So glad i came across your video.I was told five yrs ago i had meniere's .Two yrs ago was told i have CREST syndrome .My balance has gotten worst in the last few months.Who /what doctor should give me a F A Evaluation ?my ent? rheumatologist? I think the CREST has more to do with my meniere's/poor balance then first thought .Your suggestion? Respectfully Yours, John
Hey DR Clark
I m pretty sure that my meniere s is because of my immune system problem could you give us or tell us what to do to put our immune systems back to normal?
i know all that poison there is in our food that it is almost impossible to avoid ,fluoride,aspartame etc etc
please tell us what to do in order to reset our immune system.
supplements,excersise?
thanks!
I am autoimmune and I have tinnitus which I believe is caused by Meniere
@clarkchiro It was one in morn. before I could sit up & I have no Ins. bill was large. I have a noise in my ear sounds much like a seashell when you put it to your ears and hear the sea sound..constant... I had noticed my left inner ear was puffy when using a swob compared to left ear & felt like I needed maybe deborex for the ear, or to cone my ears.The hospital said my ear drum was ruptured with infection was surprised that I felt no pain with it...

hi..i appreciate your help...i have menieres but recently have had symptoms other than ... and went to my dr (who by the way was a new dr as my old one retired) and she wanted to check me for auto immune problems.. and did not try to prescribbe me anything! wow great dr huh! so please send me my 100 dollars thanks
helo dr my problem is that when i move i feel that my head is unbalance and i feel like vertigo and i have gastritist and spondilitist problem. some time my ear also ring. what is the cause that i feel like that plz suggest me .
Sorry. At about 0.51 you say they have Menieres in one disease. But you point to your ear so I'm certain you mean in one ear. I was sort of poking fun, but no harm meant. I was just diagnosed with Menieres in May after finding low frequency hearing loss as well as 75% nonfunctioning balance in the left ear. Have fluctuating tennitus, frequent dizziness, ear fullness and brain fog on some days. I was also found to have underactive thyroid .... my T4 was 0.67. On Lo-So, HCTZ 25mg/ Synthroid 125
I have a weird symptom in my head that happens randomly. I get a blood rush feeling like you bent over and got up fast, but it does it whenever it wants. It seems to be worse when i'm sitting at a computer or in crowds of people. I notice I feel disoriented when there is lots of people walking around me too. I am pretty sure I have tinnitis, and I have been stressed this past year. Lately I have been having cold extremities, my hands and feet. I figure this is from stress.. any ideas?
Is there a connection between vertigo and bell's palsy?
I'm going for a check up about my neck/back clicking and pain soon, I have really REALLY bad acid reflux apparently. I haven't eaten in a week. Everytime I eat I feel really weird, it's so hard to explain. I get the obvious acid reflux symptoms but usually more wierd ones I cannot explain... I have noticed my tinnitus has gotten a bit worse over the last few weeks also. I'm pretty sure their gonna say I have some sort of arthritis or something as nearly my whole body clicks and aches, i'm 22
I wish you was my doctor, getting fed up with feeling like this, do you have any tips on how to make my immune system healthy so I can stop feeling like this, I only like natural supplements. thank you.
I suffered a traumatic head injury 20 years ago and have just been diagnosed with menieres is it possible that what you are explaining is the cause or is it more likely from my head injury?
thanks 4 the info hammer hit nail on point
I suffer w/ vertigo BAD but also have PCOS can that cause it as well...?
where can i find a good doc in baton ruge la i suffer with this problem
I have Ringing in my ears, nausia dizzyness tierdness. I knotice stress brings it out the best would this also point to auto immune system as well?
very informative, thank you
How do get tested for this???
OMG..ok, now hoppefully you'll be able to understand me as i am french.Ok, since more than years now i have something that look like labyrinthitis, it comes and goes during the year. I had MRI, seen Otolaryngology doctor, neurologist...etc...I had a special test done in Ottawa Hospital to see if it could be Labyrinthitis, but nothing could be found. As some ppl mention it comes more often when there is a huge stress in my life or when seasons change...Could it be relate to imm.syst also? thanks.
Any correlation between Vertigo and Vasculitis, I've been fighting a Henoch-Schönlein type of vasculitis for a year and also having balance and dizzyness problems
where are you? I want you for my doctor. please help me
Gluten vs Menieres ? Any possibility ?
please tell us how to help ourselfs.i live in bulgaria .i guess you dont recomend costico steroids ,auto immune supresive medications.my medical tests shows low iron,hashimoto ,staphyloccocus infection in the gut,fatty liver and a kidney stone.i refuse to take antibiotics. maybe i can write you a personal mesagge.but really im searching trough your videos for solution.
Menieres in one disease?
@RhemasJoy I don't follow you...
@clarkchiro OH. Ok, sorry. I finally have it right now with the thyroid tests. Ok. The free t4 was 0.67 and the TSH was 16.21. I've got a little notebook like the one in another vid filled with appointments, orders for labwork, test results blah blah blah. The beast reared it's ugly head in March and I've had problems ever since. :/
