Bimmerboy

Apparently I had tmj, dry ear canal otitis media which I agree I do have. And some other problem that sounded too technical. Didn't know what ototoxic was. Played down H and said its tmj pain. Then prescribed me medicine which is for menieres and just said to take it.

The guy made over £10000 probably more by the end of the day by just ordering useless tests and prescribing medicine. I was his 10th patient by 12pm and they start at 9 just shows how he's rushing to get the money in consultation fee is 250. Then 400 for tests which he orders.

I think this is the one my Mum wanted me to go to once. Good thing I didn't. Sorry for your experience there

@Bimmerboy If you told your friends about your situation, and they still dont check in on you at all, they dont act like friends should. Do they? Remember, todays misery doesn't tell anything about tomorrow. It will pass - one way or another.

I mean they know yh but unless you have it nobody really understands what your going through. Your message enlightened me- this setback or whatever causing my flare up will pass I just need to be strong. I'm taking mometasone and just came off prednisone and now taking co codamol for 2 days for pain relif from tmj and back pain so maybe might help I don't know just at loss right now.

@Bimmerboy I have the same issue. The fans in the car always irritate my ears.

@Steph1710 Uptick in storms, tornado-type weather too. Barometric pressure squeezes my head/ears like a vice; mid-core expansion contributing increase in T/H as @Jerad greatly described in a post. Others get it this extreme?

@sakrt I have intracranial pressure, so my head is constantly squeezed by my spinal fluid flooding my brain cavities- yay! I don’t know what it’s like not to have the feeling of my head in a vice. I need to throw up every morning. :)

Yeah i.mean I've given it few days and I've been fine. Yesterday went to see some family and they wew incredibly loud. Thing is my ears are sore now which is the following morning. H works in mysterious ways. It also doesn't help that I have people doing renovation near me hearing that every day from 8 to 6 is annoying.

Better here bitchin.. then the alternative. Hope you can keep some sanity through it.

Thats part of many reasons why I hate summer now. People are so damn noisy outside. Everywhere you go! Urghhh!! Hope you get through it safely.

It's just summer. DIY, kids screaming and ice cream trucks and people just being extra noisy its annoying

I'm sitting right next you! It's a bummer

You just have to work around it as best as you can

wish I knew. I just remind myself that life is essentially meaningless. It doesn't make me feel better, but it numbs the pain a little

I have noticed a sorta face nasal headache from cologne

I think it maybe due to allergies that then cause ETD which in turn increases my T. Never the less going to stop wearing cologne for a while

Maybe sensitive to a specific ingredient?; synthetic or natural? (Many commercialized deodorants are nauseatingly strong, add this w/ detergents, shampoos, soaps, etc. left with no individuality of your own). Like noise pollution, there's VOCs pollution.

Wow! Amazing!

You have a very loving family. Cherish them!

It's nice they understand, but it's like I feel like a burden. I feel they plan around me I feel super guilty. The amount of birthday parties not celebrated or just spent doing nothing makes me feel shit. It's why I don't even care anymore my ex left me because it's difficult, I feel family are bound by blood so I don't know.

@makeyourownluck whats it’s like doing lengths in a T-shirt? Can you front crawl okay - presuming you front crawl? I’ve never thought to wear a t-shirt. I mean I wouldn’t start now because I never have. But, it’s a good idea for those who aren’t as brazen as others.

At this rate I'd have to swim like a dog keeping my ears out of the water out of fear of swimmers ear. I wear silicone ear plugs in shower not because of noise but because of water getting ears. And they do a poor job so too paranoid ill end up with swimmers ear, because that shit was incredibly bad to deal with

@Steph1710, yeah front crawl mostly. I’ve always worn a T-shirt so it just feels normal to me. Occasionally I’ll forget an extra T-shirt and I feel like an Olympic athlete lol, you definitely go faster. Suppose it’s just a habit/comfort thing.

Nope.

Nah. Go for your life.

Anyway, haven't seen you around in a while. How you been doing (apart from the virus)?

Yup safe but I suggest mix the day with salt water nose spray when you can.
Mild on the nose at least. Don’t blow or cough to much:P

I've been good guys, I've been focusing on getting better and not thinking about my ears. But itz like as soon a si got covid again I straight away thought oh no my ears. And been on roller past ever since. This morning I'm suffering from covid on top of that I'm getting electric spark type feeling in my ears.tryna not panic but really don't want to spend months out again with this problem.

@Steph1710 how are you nowadays, how are your ears feeling any better ?

Hey @Bimmerboy! Glad you’re feeling better. :) I am doing okay. Mostly days are good. I still have the odd day where my T is more annoying, and I have more H days now - which I never had before, but I just carry on as normal.

Yeah I'm getting the same like almost a frostbite sensation. I describe it as burning but spiking is better description. The spine is another thing I'll take a look at. I'm stopping supplements as of now.
Did your symptoms pass ?

Btw Thanks for the advice, means alot bro

I've been through that, thought it was diabetes. It was probably a pinched nerve in my neck from a stiff bed and/or supplements. Get a nerve test and a diabetes test first, then try making lifestyle changes.

@GlennS so did yours go ? I've done me tests waiting on results. Also what was your symptoms if you don't mind me asking. Was it tingling/burning?

I have the same. How is yours doing?
