    Meniere's Disease (MD) Question

    Just say no to the injections. You can try Medrol dose packs when you are having a multiple day attack. But the research on the injections is weak...so what you found was correct. There is no absolute understanding of the etiology of MD so the treatments are a crap shoot.
