Steve Schwier - Meniere's Disease, E22

Welcome, many of you may have heard his story, at the very least his mission, if not, let me share with you a little about Steve Schwier. Steve's life as a heavy equipment operator and professional musician came to a screeching halt, when he began experiencing tinnitus in 2011, later being diagnosed with Meniere's in 2012. He had no idea it was the beginning of a new life. A life that is now disabling on many levels. The onset of chronic dizziness, vertigo, nausea, hyperacusis, nystagmus, loss of balance and the emotional roller coaster that left him lost in the world of vestibular disorders. 3 year ago, he decided to fight back and in a way that captured the attention of many. He created "On The Vertigo", a non profit to raise awareness and funds for research. This has included two 1,400 mile bike adventures, successful golf outings for research and many other projects to raise awareness. He even co authored a book “On The Vertigo” with his brother, Dave. He was also a cast member on the "The Life Rebalanced Chronicles" docuseries, sponsored by VeDA and produced by Unfixed Media. On top of all this, he also has a podcast called "On The Vertishow" co hosted with Adrienne Smith and produced by his brother Dave.
