It's been just over two weeks since I badgered my shrink to supply me with HSV antivirals for my Ménière's disease and I've not had one serious episode since the second day. As a reminder, I'd been getting "lie down and close my eyes because that's literally all I can do to stop the vertigo" episodes roughly every two days for two months prior.

Apparently it's important to do this protocol within two years of getting Ménière's or it's less effective. And it doesn't seem to work for younger cases (it's considered idiopathic - of unknown origin and just a set of symptoms, so there can be multiple causes).

This is not a scientific study, IANAD, etc. But it seems to work for me.
