Life: Sucks
I have Meniere’s Disease.
So do these people..
Alan B. Shepard, the first American astronaut, was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease in 1964, grounding him after only one brief spaceflight. Several years later, surgery (which was then at the experimental stage) was performed, allowing Shepard to fly to the Moon on Apollo 14.[19]
The Ménière’s Disease Information Center lists poet Emily Dickinson, author Jonathan Swift, NBA player Steve Francis, and many others as Ménière’s disease sufferers.[20]
According to his blog, Author and entrepreneur Guy Kawasaki has the illness.[21]
J-pop queen Ayumi Hamasaki recently admitted on her blog the condition affecting her left ear. However, she stated that she will continue to sing.
Contemporary artist and graphic designer Doc Hammer, of The Venture Bros. fame, has Ménière’s syndrome according to his May 16th, 2005 journal entry.[22]
Paddy McAloon, the singer and songwriter for the British pop group Prefab Sprout, was diagnosed with Ménière’s in 2004.[23]
A paper by Arenberg et. al, 1990, suggested that Vincent Van Gogh, the Dutch Post-Impressionist, may have suffered from Ménière’s,[24] though this is now considered conjectural.[citation needed] See Vincent van Gogh’s medical condition for a discussion of the range of possible alternative diagnoses. Some believe “The Starry Night” illustrates his dizziness. It’s also speculated that ear pressure and deafness could have inspired him to cut off his own ear.[citation needed]
Charles Darwin may have suffered from Ménière’s disease. This idea is based on a common list of symptoms which were present in Darwin’s case, such as tinnitus, vertigo, dizziness, motion sickness, vomiting, continual malaise and tiredness. The absence of hearing loss and ‘fullness’ of the ear (as far as known) excludes however a diagnosis of typical Ménière’s disease. Darwin himself had the opinion that most of his health problems had an origin in his 4-year bout with sea sickness. Later, he could not stand traveling by carriage, and only horse riding would not affect his health. One of the diagnoses that he received from his physicians at the time was that of “suppressed gout“. The source of Darwin’s illness is not known for certain. See Charles Darwin’s illness for more details.
Fictional comic book villain Count Vertigo suffers from Ménière’s disease and has the ability to inflict its symptoms on others.
Martin Luther wrote in letters about the distresses of vertigo, and suspected Satan was the cause.[25][26]
Julius Caesar was known to have suffered from the “falling sickness” as noted in Plutarch’s Parallel Lives and has been cited by Shakespeare, noting that Caesar was unable to hear fully in his left ear.[27]
Jonathan Swift, Anglo-Irish satirist, poet, and cleric, is known to have suffered from Ménière’s disease.
Marilyn Monroe, American actress and cultural icon was known to experience the vertigo and compromised hearing associated with Ménière’s.[28]

WHY AM I DEPRESSED OVER MENIERE’S DISEASE:
Imagine walking happily when suddenly hearing a sharp high-pitched ring in your ears, you go deaf, then you loose your balance, the world spins crazily.
Imagine listening to a lecture when suddenly hearing a sharp high-pitched ring in your ears, you go deaf, then you loose your balance, the world spins crazily.
Imagine doing your jogging when suddenly hearing a sharp high-pitched ring in your ears, you go deaf, then you loose your balance, the world spins crazily.
The world is fun the way it is WITHOUT the spinning..
imagine living on a yo yo…
