Question 8

how common is meniere's disease?

Accepted Answer

Not common: Meniere's disease affections 12/1000 people in the US... About 0.2% of the population. Unfortunately, it is way over-diagnosed. What we call a "trash can diagnosis" - if nothing else can cause the symptoms... It is called Meniere's. It has 4 specific findings: 1) vertigo (often incapacitating lasting hours/days) 2) hearing loss 3) tinnitus 4) headache or ear pressure. All on the same side.

Question 9

is schamberg's disease common or rare?

Accepted Answer

Quite common: This is a curious loss of the collagen that strengthens the small veins, and allows little ruptures when they have relatively high pressure, as in the feet from standing. I suspect it's usually not diagnosed. It's famously non-treatable -- the talk about "taking vitamin C to promote collagen production" is subscientific; you can try ace bandages around the legs and feet.

Accepted Answer

Maybe 1% (1 in 100): Celiac disease affects about 1 in 100 people, to about 1 in 150 people.  The exact numbers are not certain, but it affects a little less than 1% of the population.
