Meniere's and Ranaud's Diseases

A question for you docs, pas, deltas et al.

Has there ever been a conclusive study of Meniere's and Raynauds diseases that would connect the two. I have both, and naturally researching and contacting people with the same disease, (it started with the Meniere's) found out that 4 out of 6 people I talked to also had Raynaud's.

After many examinations and tests my ENT settled on a regime of diuretics (triamterene). This and a low sodium, no nicotene, and limited caffein diet change has lessened the symptoms to an almost non-existant point.

The Raynauds however is not as easy. Here in PA, the weather plays havoc with my hands. To the point that in my line of work Im on a limited schedule.

Again, just wondering if there is in fact a connection between these two ailments.

THANKS.
