I have just read some of your posts re your onset and progress. I am so heartened to hear that you aren't just surviving you are indeed thriving. I was wondering if i could ask you if the warmness feeling / pressure stopped for you and crackling. much love and many congratulations once again.
Congratulations! And good luck on the remaining half. I defended my PhD two weeks before onset...not sure if I would have been able to write my thesis with the problems I have now. I'm getting ready to teach my first class as a lecturer this week. Very stressed but also excited!
@hopefuldede thank you for the kinds words. Some days are a challenge, but I keep pressing on. The warmness and pressure have mostly ceased. There are times I will experience both for a day, but then it subsides. The crackling is there everyday. I think I may have ETD, as I've always had sinus issues.
@ErikaS thank you, it is amazing and challenging at the same time. I hope to work on finding peace and joy in the moment this year. I'm not sure if mine is reactive, but yesterday I forgot my earplugs and I spent the day out without protection. I had ringing all last night and today. The days prior to that I was having more of a buzz.
@CRGC Thank you! What is your PhD in? I have been teaching at the same time for a year and a half. I do not recommend the level of high stress for someone with tinnitus/hyperacusis, but I tend to seek out the most difficult path! Best to you on teaching this semester!
Yes, teaching and completing PhD studies at the same time sounds quite stressful and demanding! Sounds like you are handling it just fine though :) my PhD is in international environmental law. I will be teaching the masters level class this semester, which means a smaller group. I'm happy about that. Thanks and good luck to you too!
