Question Diagnosed with Menieres in my left ear but aural fullness is in my right ear?

Doctor says the menieres is in my left ear, but the aural fullness, I feel it in my right ear consistently. Rarely if ever in the left ear. That sounds weird to me... Any one with any input on this matter? I am at a loss.

Sorry, can't say I've heard of menieres in one ear, but who knows. My dx is bilateral weakness with possible Menieres, vestibular migraines, and another unknown headache. I think the doctor threw Menieres in there so my private disability people would acknowledge the condition and pay me since working is not a possibility right now.

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but hope there is a bit of comfort in knowing the dx and developing a "plan".

I had this eCog test last week, and found out yesterday that I have Meniere's. It is in my left ear, where my initial vestibular function began, and they are doing some sinus mri's next week to see if the "fullness"/pressure I feel in my right middle ear is "sinus related". Perhaps this might be something that you can ask your ENT/Doctors about.

Be as well as you can today, and thanks for sharing. we are never alone.

We MUST STAY positive for ourselves and our caregivers.

Thank you all for your responses. I am just as confused as everyone else about these varied diagnoses. I just do as much research as I can from as many venues as possible, cross reference and compare symptoms. I just found it odd that the ENT called it on my right side but the ear pain and aural fullness is on my left. Conversely, when I am having a full blown attack it's triggered (maybe) when I turn my head to the right and then back to the front....

weird.
