 Why
join?
If you have been diagnosed with Meniere's disease,
joining Meniere's Australia is
a positive step in learning to manage your condition and overcome any
feelings of frustration, anger, depression or social isolation.
Our support
extends to your family and friends and can help them to understand the
problems and feelings you are experiencing. An independent 2006 survey of MSGV members confirmed the vital role support groups play in helping people cope with Meniere's. Read the survey (197KB - you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf document).
