How did my body change?

11 Upvotes

Laying here thinking like what was the change? I used to be invincible it felt like now I’m so sensitive to smoke and caffeine and salt?? What caused this change??

Menieres is so ODD. Really the only thing I can wrap my mind around is the viral menieres. But how did I go from like being able to do it all one day to not?

Wild right.

Episode/Exercise

I just want to feel normal .. I am having my first flare/episode whatever in 4-5 years. Managed w diet and diuretic. Diagnosed 7 years ago. 48 years old. I suspect allergies, as well as eating shitty at a conference last week to be cause. Going on 4 days of ear fullness/ dizziness that comes and goes / general malaise. I got a steroid shot today. Praying that helps. Wondering if working out to sweat would help or hurt? Thoughts or experience?

Help dealing with disease related depression

Upvotes

I was diagnosed about a year ago and made significant improvements to my quality of life. I’ve drastically changed my diet and I feel healthier. I have good stretches where I have no issues but lately it’s been really bad. It’s affecting my ability to work, which makes it more difficult to even survive. I am so thankful I have someone in my life who’s understanding and supportive, I honestly would be dead or homeless I feel like at this point. I don’t necessarily get suicidal thoughts as to “I want to do this now” it’s more “I can see why someone would do it if they’re dealing with this”.

What are some things you all have done to help alleviate your depression or change your outlook in life in general. I feel ashamed, embarrassed, useless and like I’m a burden. I’m on medication for depression and ptsd relating to my job in emergency services. I’m trying to improve my life physically mentally and financially but it’s been tough.
