Life with T and H is just one big game of russian roulette really

Hey @makeyourownluck , catching up with your latest updates. Jeez, the flu and now this… really sorry :(. Is the infection related to your autoimmune condition?

Reading up on ceftriaxone. It seems perfectly fine to take. I’m not seeing anything regarding ototoxicity here or elsewhere. But yeah I hate this game of Russian roulette and wondering if it’s going to make T or H worse. Just adds more difficulty to our already difficult lives.

Yeah @ZFire. It sucks. Online you can find accounts of practically any drug worsening tinnitus. I'm also on Augmentin and Metronidazole. High does of both. Its the combination of antibiotics that worries me most. Every time I get fleeting T I'm freaking out. Before this I was afraid to take a paracetamol !

Had to take a day off from the new job as well. Hardly a good first impression. Its a nightmare.

Doctors think its a infection brought on by IUD removal. No relation to autoimmune.

not sure if i told you, but I went on nortriptyline for brutal migraines despite knowing it could worsen T. Started at a high dose too, It was worth it in the end. Got rid of my crippling migraines.

Glad to hear it helped you. Do you still take nortriptyline now @ZFire?

@makeyourownluck , yes I’m still taking it for a little over a year now (50mg). I’m tapering off it now though. Going down 10mg every 2 months(at 40mg atm).

How are you finding the taper @ZFire?

All is well. No issues to report so far.
