Meniere's Disease
"I&#039;ve had Meniere&#039;s since before I got out of the Navy, but was diagnosed with it a year later. The shunt operation didn&#039;t work nor did acupuncture, herbs, anything. I turned to diazepam as the last resort.  It worked like a miracle.  I&#039;ve been on it now for over 30 years.  Unfortunately, the disease has disabled me to where I can&#039;t work. Now, VA has decided to discontinue it for me.  Not because it works, but because it&#039;s Valium. That&#039;s all. My advice: stay with a doctor who understands the nature of the disease."
