For people who have tried diuretics: how long did you try, before deciding whether they worked for you?

I’ve had ear fullness and tinnitus problems for many years, on and off. Last summer, those problems became permanent and I started having monthly vertigo attacks, two of which landed me in the ER. The vertigo stopped last fall, but the ear fullness remained, and I was diagnosed with Ménière’s.

My ENT first put me on HCTZ 25 mg for 90 days. I saw inconsistent improvement. She upped me to 50 mg, and I feel like I’m seeing more improvement (less ear fullness), but again, it’s not consistent enough to call it a win.

How long should I give this until I quit / try something else / get a different ENT? Any advice appreciated.

Can anyone share their experience with a Keetsa bed frame?  Do you recommend it?

I’m trying to avoid using a box spring because I have a severe allergy to dust mites.  I also prefer metal, for that reason.  But I don’t want something that feels unstable.  

I just bought an expensive queen mattress, so in an ideal world I’d have a high-end support system, but I’m limited by my allergies here.  I’d appreciate any input. 

PS - I’m aware there are old posts on this same topic, but I’m looking for current opinions if you have them. TY!
