Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

I'm alright at the minute, @Utdmad89. Have small bouts of nox and incidences of H but nothing prolonged. T is a prick, but that's come to be expected.

How are you? When would you say your H/N started worsening?

Gd to hear. Yeah T is a ****! The last couple of weeks, I took some meds for my diabetes that caused more pain, and did some gardening in double pro! Not my smartest idea.

@Utdmad89 are you having to double protect all the time at the minute? Really sucks that taking meds can exacerbate things. I miss pain-relief a lot; migraines are now more annoying than the T, but I dread taking them in case they worsen it.

@Joshua Macleod not all the time, when everyone is on bed and I sit in silence it's okish. It's. Crazy as diabetes going unmanaged will literally kill me slowly and painfully. I miss pain killers so much. Man I miss caffeine and weed lol. Yeah T is a tricky bitch. But Nox has me in a freeze hold. The migraines are awful, I use 4head it seems to help abit.

@Utdmad89 Have you been able to see your diabetes nurse to discuss managing it with either different medication or through diet alone?

Yeah, pain relief of any form would be amazing. Those cooling forehead sheets sometimes offer me some respite.

@Joshua Macleod not since coming of the 2nd meds. I'm going to try Clomipramine to hopefully heal my ears form the N/H then address the diabetes. I'm finding it all too much.

@Utdmad89 I've definitelty heard good things about clomipramine so my fingers are crossed for you. It really is too much, but I admire your resilience (even if you don't feel particularly resilient).

The reduction in H and N made T so much more manageable for me. I still hate it, but it's just miles easier to handle.

@Utdmad89 How are you keeping mate? Thinking of you.
