Leblisa Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi, thought I'd send a little update. I had my surgery this past Wednesday and was doing well but on Saturday night I developed this amazing, horrible vertigo with all kinds of nausea & vomiting from it. I couldn't move my head a millimeter without setting it off. On Sunday my husband took me to the hospital where I spent the day getting IV fluids and meds and was well enough to go home by Sunday evening. Today I still have mild vertigo, but it's not bad enough to cause the N & V, thank god. Today I can walk around the house holding onto walls, etc but don't trust myself on stairs yet. Thank god it's better! That was the worst hell. My heart goes out to those with Meniere's who suffer this kind of vertigo more often.

HearPeers Heroes hadron Posted July 1, 2013 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I was told to purchase Meclizine over the counter in case I had dizziness or nausea after surgery. I did use it to control some dizziness and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Sandy Posted July 1, 2013 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Lisa, if the nausea comes back another remedy is ginger tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simekj Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I wore antinausea patch for a week. It worked but one side effect was blurry vision. I didn't have a choice as I was pretty unpredictable with the nausea and the plane would not take me otherwise. I wore the first patch for three days. Took it off and nausea and vertigo came back so I had to wear another patch. After that one I was fine - just the blurry vision for a week or two which was concerning till we figured out the source.

Leblisa Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Meclizine is the med they have given me to take and it does help. No nausea, but still have some vertigo. I can live with it, but hope it goes away soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Matt Posted July 2, 2013 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Glad you'er feeling better Lisa. You need to try the Aussie cure for nausea - Vegemite on toast, no butter. Every child would have had it growing up and thinking of it now it sort of makes sense - get some salt and carbs into your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice investigation John Actually Slavonian oak is more characteristic for plain part of country but for Croatia more significant is Fir or Spruce: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abies_alba Beautiful part of country with lot of fir which were used for the construction of the foundation of Venice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velebit To Lisa - hold on, it will pass.

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted July 2, 2013 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I want to go to Croatia some day. Well, youre welcome! Guide at your service ... Few days ago, some American news mentioned Plitvice lakes as one of most beautiful in Europe. Lots of fir wood around them. At least interesting.... But not so big like in US or Canada. Few photos on Croatian version of website: http://www.np-plitvicka-jezera.hr/ (on English - too many texts)... And, I would like to see Canada some day - I have heard a lot beautiful things. Have friends cross the country... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
