Jan Thomas himself talks about the disease in the latest episode of the podcast “Jan Thomas and Einar become friends”, which he leads together with Einar Tørnquist.
Ménière’s disease is according to helsenorge.no a disease of the inner ear, which causes bouts of dizziness and ear symptoms. The disease is chronic but harmless. The cause of the disease is fluid accumulation in the inner ear.
Jan Thomas says that he has struggled with this for a long time.
– It started when I was 25. It only happens in the morning after I wake up. Some days are worse than others. Suddenly I hear well in my right ear, and then I am deaf, and then I hear very well again, says Jan Thomas in the podcast, according to See and listen, who first mentioned the case.
To Se og Hør, the 54-year-old says that the seizures came more often in the time when he returned to Norway from the USA in 2001. Jan Thomas experienced his worst seizure so far last weekend.
– Then I went almost a whole day without food, and then I ate a salty meal. Then I had my worst seizure and vomited. I was scared and it was very scary. The next day I called my doctor and said: “Now it’s enough”, and then I was told what I had, and since then I have read up on the disease, he says to See and Hear.
