Please donate to the Meniere's Research Fund.

Meniere's Disease has no known cause and no known cure. It is a debilitating, cruel disease consisting of:
  • Periodic episodes of vertigo (that are severe, incapacitating, and unpredictable)
  • Hearing loss
  • Tinnitus (constant ringing in the ear/s)
  • A sensation of fullness or pressure in the ear
Meniere's Disease also permanently damages the balance mechanism of the inner ear, making people feel like they are moving even when they are completely still.

There is no treatment that works for everyone with Meniere's Disease. People are either able to manage it or they are not.

There is research currently taking place via The Medical Foundation at the University of Sydney (called the Meniere's Research Fund) to finally find the cause and then hopefully find the cure.

Please consider a donation to this cause. Any amount helps and donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Feel free to copy the donation details onto your blog or post a link to mine. It is definitely legit. Run by The University of Sydney.
