IT was interesting to read the article in Saturday’s Northern Echo about Ian Thomas, from Richmond, who has the rare inner ear disorder, Meniere’s disease.

I was diagnosed with this disease last year and it can really change your life. Many every day things you take for granted can no longer be achieved.

It must be very challenging for someone younger who has a job to go to and must keep up with today’s fast pace of life.

The Meniere’s Society is a worthwhile cause to support.
