Recently seen an ENT consultant after having vertigo, fatigue, hearing loss and tinnitus for years. GP said he thinks its meniere's disease.
The ENT consultant said it was "a made up disease by people who don't know what they are talking about and can't find any other diagnosis, dont Google it"
Didn't discuss any other symptoms and when I tried to talk about them he just nodded and checked my ears, then discharged me.
I obviously googled it and it seems like a legit disease, so I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or if anyone has been in the same boat. Is it worth getting a diagnosis?
Hi Aimee, Meniere's disease is not a made up condition. It can be debilitating for those that have it. Here is an article from our website: https://vestibular.org/article/diagnosis-treatment/types-of-vestibular-disorders/menieres-disease/
Thank you, that was helpful, I dont know why the consultant would say that to me. So confusing, ill have to revisit my GP.
What is an ENT consultant? Are they a doctor? If you can, find a different ENT. Menieres is a real diagnosis.
