Anybody here suffer from vertigo?

Do any of you get really intense ringing in your ears when the vertigo hits? I now have something called mieneres disease (probably spelled it wrong). It's got something with too much fluid retention in the inner ear. It hits me about once every two weeks. Bad ringing in ears, sudden vertigo, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and sit or lay down till it stops. Usually a few minutes. Some people have it bad and the spells can last for hours.
