@ECP Thank you so much for checking in on me. I went through with the medical procedure without any sedatives or Xanax which I never thought I could, but I managed. My fear of disrupting my GABA receptors was too strong so I endured the procedure without any "help".
I find it difficult to put into words how much I hate this horrible disease. My hate for tinnitus is deep and all-consuming. It has stolen so much life from me and I will never recover from that loss and pain. Never.
I have made up my mind. I will not take a Xanax or other benzos before my medical procedure. The risk of a spike not worth it. Now I need to find a way to calm myself enough to be able to go through with the procedure.
Sorry for my late response. I am not always checking in here. I am atm not too good. Stomach issues in addition to T makes life hard. How are you doing?
@Brave Zebra What you say is very logical. I have not been able to calm my nervous system for 2 years. I am at a loss as I don't know how to. And I did try yoga and meditation
@Tryn2BHopeful That is strange! Perhaps there is something to it when some say that T is influenced by your microbiome.. I am glad to hear your pain went away! Did you notice back then if it was influenced by anything you were eating?
@RunningMan Thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear that you got this from medicine. But it's positive that your endoscopy checked out. How is your stomach now?
One and a half year after my T worsening I developed chronic stomach issues. Is this normal? Has anyone tried anything similar? I think my T caused my now debilitating stomach pain
That sounds really tough @kingsfan :-( You deserve to be happy! You always send out such good vibes here. As for me, life just keeps throwing tough stuff my way :-( I don't get it.
