Meniere's disease again

I received a message from an aptly named "Nobby the bastard" who seems to think my post regarding menier's was spam. I can only assume that Nobby is not only a bastard, but a complete fuckwit with shit for brains.
I hope that Nobby is not typical of the general mentality of others on this site.
Spoke too soon, just had a message from another retard called "Rogerborg".
I have taken up motorcycling again after 42 years, did my direct access course just before Christmas and should be picking my bike up from Honda on Monday morning.
However, I may have run into an unexpected problem with insurance.
I have had Menier's disease for eight years, which is a DVLA notifiable disease.
I did notify the DVLA and there are no restrictions on my licence.
I am trying to get my insurance in place but one of the companies I have approached have been a bit coy to say the least.
The purpose of my original post was to see if there are any other riders out there with Menier's and what their experience was with insurance.
Thanks in anticipation for any serious comments/advice.

Fuck the insurance. If DVLA says you're fit to ride.

Good point but when I notified them I did not have a bike licence, just the car licence.

I don't think they're messages you have been receiving. Maybe a reply to your opening post?

Either way. Enjoy your stay!

Insurance companies ask if you have a DVLA notifiable medical condition which you do. They'll also ask about if there are any restrictions on your license and or how frequently do you have to renew your license.

Absolutely no idea about anything specific to Meniere's disease but I can see why trying to discuss about Meniere's disease with insurance companies could be complicated by the fact nobody knows what it is.

They have all of the information required including the fact that I informed the DVLA of a notifiable medical condition and that no restrictions were placed on my licence.
One of the insurance companies I was considering phoned me up a few hours ago to see if they could get the business and offered to do it slightly cheaper than the online quote.
However when they enquired about the Meniere's disease they had to call me back, which they did about an hour later.
The quote increased by £100 and I now cannot access the original on line quotes.
When I asked why it had increased he told me he did not know and that he was only doing his job.
It would be interesting to see if any other riders with Meniere's have had any problems with insurance.

If you mean, do I get dizzy, I've been known to be lying down unable to stand at another bcf member's house....

I though we all came to BCF because the nice people of the world, Mumsnet, GB Bikers (RIP Praying

) etc. all rejected us.

I have a heart condition which I notified the DVLA about (actually so did the doctors and the hospital), after the initial 6 weeks of "YOU SHALL NOT DRIVE", I was declared fit enough to drive a car and ride a bike.... just not drive a bus.

Have I ever told my insurance company? That's on my to tell list with my aftermarket exhausts, LED indicators, after market bar ends etc.... it still hasn't affected my insurance though

Can you catch it over the internet?

Nobby the Bastard is an utter utter bastard and can be beaten by a simple magnet. He leaves nice ladies at the road side and doesn't change his underwear. He also has sperm that impregnates women to create other humans.
