What We Added To Meniere's Disease .ca In 2009

Histamine: why worry about histamine? You have heard the term "antihistamine" (it means "against histamine") very frequently. A great deal of time and energy are spent trying to control it. Why? Because in large quantities it can cause a lot of problems such as edema (swelling) heart failure and even, occasionally, death.

If you understand even a little of how it gets "raised or activated" you will respect its nature and its actions. Most of us fear it, but in reality, it is a very major important protective mechanism of your body. So this section on histamine and Meniere's Disease is a part of an overall view devoted to allergies and reactions and how they may relate to Meniere's Disease.

This new section on histamine and how it relates to Meniere's Disease contains many links to safe sites and a lot of objective information. But know that the information is written in very simplistic terms. I want to make this information easy to understand. I feel if you understand something, you won't shy away from it, but rather use it comfortably.

Are Your Sinus Medications for Meniere's Disease Helping You or Hurting You?

It’s normal for people to treat sinus problems with all sorts of remedies: drugs, sprays, and other treatments, including saline (salt) washes. The point is that you want to get rid of the symptoms. If you choose to use sprays or drugs, you should be aware of a “dark side” to this treatment and it is the results of something you do with the best of intentions. The dark side is a term called “rebound”.

We also believe that over the counter medications aren't really medications. So you rationalize that there is no harm in taking them...and as they are harmless, but work well, taking more isn't a problem...Right? Wrong! Taking more could do one or two things: make the situation worse or make the whole effort useless. At this point I am speaking mainly about nasal decongestants and allergy products. These are products to help you breathe better when your nose and eyes are irritated and you just can't stand it any longer. So you reach for the sprays or the tablets.
