misono revealed that she is suffering from Meniere’s disease

Since last year, it was known that misono had been suffering from health issues and she recently announced that she would be limiting a few activities in October including YouTube.

But it was revealed by misono that she is suffering from Meniere’s disease.  A disease which has affected other performers such as Imai Tsubasa of Tackey and Tsubasa, Kubota Toshinobu, GENKING, Miho Jun, Aida Shoko and others.

What is Meniere’s disease?

According to mayoclinic.org, “Meniere’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear that can lead to dizzy spells (vertigo) and hearing loss. In most cases, Meniere’s disease affects only one ear. Meniere’s disease can occur at any age, but it usually starts between young and middle-aged adulthood”.

Misono said that while supporting her husband who had cancer, she had a busy schedule but she was unable to sing because her ear hurt very much and she would wake up dizzy and had to wait until the dizziness subsided.

Her doctor told her to rest and to not get stressed but she was recommended to change her lifestyle, so she decided to limit her activities.
