Meniere's Disease


George Louise

Recommended Posts

Hey all! After years of issues with my balance, sickness, ear 'fullness', tinnitus and increasing hearing loss, I finally have a diagnosis of Meniere's Disease. After a few days of shock/crying/coming to terms with it (it is quite advanced, progressive and incurable), I have returned to my usual default position of positivity. I studied BSL stage 1 about 25 years ago and have been saying forEVER that I really wanted to refresh this and further my knowledge, and it's like nature gave me a helping hand/kick up the butt. I found this amazing site and am so excited to be learning again. I am even more excited that my eldest daughter has also signed up and has just completed her first section. Newt, if you get to this stage and are reading this, I am so proud of you and really appreciate you joining me. You are amazing 🥰 xx

If there is anyone out there with MD I am sending you a giant HELLO and a supportive hug (quite literally... y'know 😉). I know what you go through and how hard it can be to explain what daily life is like xx

    • Hi there, My name is Trixie and I'm learning BSL to keep my brain active. Many years ago, I was learning South African sign language and I loved it!

We recently learned that my husband will most likely lose his hearing in the next 20 years or so (he has already lost hearing in one ear completely), so I want to be prepared. It's also good for my ageing brain to learn a new language, so I'm diving in with enthusiasm and

    • n British Sign Language (BSL), to say "Be right back", you can sign it informally as: 👉 “SOON COME BACK” or “COME BACK SOON” Here’s how: SOON – Tap your index finger against your cheek or use a quick gesture for "short time". COME BACK – Point outward (to show you're leaving) and then curve your hand back toward your body. Alternatively, you can fingerspell "BRB" for an informal or digital-style way.
