The Ménière’s Society hosts online sessions to give people a chance to chat with each other about their vestibular condition and how they manage it.
It was lovely to meet everyone, very positive and informative.

Our annual conference is being held on Saturday 18 May 2024. It's a great opportunity to network with others and hear from professional speakers. Find out more and purchase tickets here.
*** We are pleased to be joined by researchers from Manchester University at the sessions on 20 March and 18 April. Manchester University have just received a large grant from the medical research council to fund research with those of you with persistent postural perceptual dizziness (3PD). This exciting research (occurring in Manchester ) will use cutting edge virtual reality (and other technology) to first look into reasons as to why symptoms are caused. Then, longer term, it will investigate virtual reality as a treatment to see if it can help reduce or alleviate 3PD symptoms. Joshua Haynes (an experienced researcher) and Debbie Cane (a lecturer and clinician who treats patients with 3PD) would like to tell you more about their part in this work, to invite those of you with 3PD to participate, and what to expect if you choose to.
I did find it useful meeting other people in the same position as me. It's nice to talk about it with people who know what Meniere's actually is!

* Please note, questions should be of a general nature. We are unable to give medical advice or answer questions related specifically to your own medical condition.
I found it very useful and interesting to find out how other people are affected and how they cope with it. I am sure it will help me deal with the condition in future and I will join in with future meetings.
