6 weeks in after a spike... no improvement at all... Looks like it´ll be my new baseline. Don´t think I'll habituate to this loudness :( :(

  So sorry you are going through this spike. Sometimes it takes more than 6 weeks to settle. Try to stay calm and be careful around loud noises. Are you sleeping?

  For about 4 weeks not at all. The noise would wake me up constantly. Now I'm taking NAC and magnesium and Im sleeping a bit better

  @Nadia231 my spike is still fading from over three months ago. I know it's almost back to what it was, because I keep having period of almost silence. Stay strong. I believe it will fade for you. It just takes forever. X

Anyone from the UK? Is prednisolone the same as the prednisone you guys talk about in this forum? Can you get it without prescription?

  Hi Nadia. Prednisone has to be converted to Prednisolone in the liver before it can work. So actually Prednisolone is better. :) well no difference really. I'm in the UK in case you're wondering.

  Oh I forgot to add that you can't get hold of it without a prescription. It's not a drug to messed about with. I was extremely lucky to have a doctor who prescribed it to me after I told him about its potential help towards the on set of tinnitus. X

  Oh Thanks for the info, I just asked because when I google: "prednisone UK" it always directs me to "prednisolone" so I thought it was a different thing in the UK. I will ask my ENT to prescribe some to see if it helps with my spike

  NAC did not do anything when I first got tinnitus. But I'm definitely giving it a go again... I'm quite desperate

  Give it another month. If it doesn't begin fading after two months, perhaps your fears are justified. After just one month there is still hope.

I habituated to my first tinnitus in 2 years. 3 weeks ago a very loud unmaskable spike woke me up in the middle of the night. I'm devastated

  To be honest Nadia, I just decided to get on with life as normal. Felt like killing myself to begin with, but as I got through the days, it slowly became better again. You just have to push forward even though it seems impossible. x x

  Thanks for the comment. I really know that is the way to go.. But I just can't right now... I was so habituated to my normal tinnitus... And now I have this loud one in both ears all day. I will try my best.

  If it makes you feel not so alone, I’ve got a head cold right now, which has ramped up my T. I know it probably feels it Nadia, but you’re not alone. <3 I’m lying in bed now wishing I could go back to before when I didn’t have to sleep with sound on. I certainly miss the silence x
