Hi Alison I hope your husband is ok. I use to ride bikes when I was younger and had my fair share of stakes in those days.
I came across your blog through my friend Danielle's blog (commented above) and was pleasently delighted (as bad as that sounds) to hear you have menieras disease. I have suspected menieres and would love to hear how they actually pin pointed your illness and what kind of management plan they have put you on. I can be found over at www.daniandluigi@blogspot.com or dani_luigi@hotmail.com
