Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection and inflammation of the uterus, ovaries, and other female reproductive organs. It causes scarring in these organs. This can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic pain, abscesses, and other serious problems. PID is the most common preventable cause of infertility in the United States.
Researchers believe that Meniereâs disease is the result of constrictions in blood vessels similar to those that cause migraine headaches. Others think Meniereâs disease could be a consequence of viral infections, allergies, or autoimmune reactions.
I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease about 12 years ago. For the most part I have been able to control the symptoms (vertigo attacks, tinnitus) with low salt diet and exercise. In January I had one of the most violent vertigo attacks of my life. Luckily my husband was with me when the attack occurred.
