no life

Motrin and tylenol takes down inflamation for me. just stay away from advil.

Motrin and Advil are the exact same thing -- Ibuprofen.

Maybe thats a good thing, in regards to your long term health for not drinking too much. I am the opposite...my T hates alcohol. My current cure haha

Because anything good you want to eat or do, T absolutely hates.

I've never been b4 I'm always being lefted out

I know that situation to well. we cant tell you what to do, but ask yourself if thats worth the risk. Im 20 years old and obviously a lot of my friends go clubbing. But there are many other activities, to do together :)

I personally wouldnt take the risk...for example house parties are not as loud...and you can still control how close you are standing to the music

sorry for that. sometimes when we feel bad we have to let it out :( unfortunate that your kids had to be you let it out to :( maybe explain you situation to them?

There two young to understand, I treated them to a day out.

It sure is tuff trying to have a layin . My T is screaming as soon as I awake.

Same here :(

Need to get this inflammation under control

So do I!

You can it's called positive thinking. Don't let this shit get you down.

Tried positive thinking it got me no where.

Only if you bring the beer and wine! };-)

@Blackbird26 i agree about flexeril "not forever" of course. Just to give temporary relief. I'm on 1200mg of tegretol but @no life clearly need a specialist before take any drugs

well she needs to see someone to get a script, yea..I need pain management, I'm dying atm.

Thanks for the advice guys I'm due to have a arthroscopy soon

It's tuff having tinnitus but also very demanding with children.

Let those little monsters take over your consciousness. Let Entering their world be the escape from yours.

No just said seems a bit strange come back in a week so not sure what to do

Go to another doctor. He should get prednisone right away.

If it was me I would want a dexamethasone IT injection right away. From what I understand the best chance to regain hearing. Maybe prednisone also.

Hope it all goes well for you..

Me too lol

Good luck!

Unfortunately, there is no drug that can work forever. T is persistent and breaks all the doors down eventually.

Feels like I'm back to square one

I've never left square one!

Yes you can get them in pills do you have tmj? Have you had a mri?

Those injections I had were many years ago and I cant remember if I had an mri done for tmj. Although back then I was told I have tmjd. Now my ENT booked me for some type of mri March 29. We will see haha. Hope you are are doing well.

I had a mri that showed my jaw has slipped disk and have to have a arthroscopic, I got my date yesterday in the post, really scared incase it gets worse.im doing okay but I think amitriptyline isn't working anymore. How are you coping?

Agree with you on that.

It's going around. I've been sick for 2-1/2 weeks now. }:-[

Feels like I'm swallowing razer blades

yes everytime I get up to quick

Yes, mine rushes when I get up too quickly. I think it's because I have pulsatile tinnitus.

Me too!' And I can hear my heart beat !!! It also happens when I lay on my stomach

Thwarted plans hurt

Wish all your other problems, would fade too! };-)

I do normally crush tablets, I think I'll give it a go :)

If you buy capsules instead of tablets you only have to pull them apart over a glass of water and then stir. No need to do any crushing or mashing.

I was thinking the same lol

Just wait and say, "told you so!" You can't abuse your hearing, indefinitely.

I'm convinced most serious hearing problems are neurological in nature, and mental health being more of a key factor than acoustic trauma(not to say it is irrelevant).

Not me. Have you?

in winter

Yeh in winter?

The outdoors are typically filled with loud ambient noises that indoor environments do not have. Your mind blocks them out though along with the tinnitus they mask; then when going indoors you hear the tinnitus more distinctly, as the masking sounds go away.

Doesn't sound like it is :( I know how painful it can be, flares can be brutal and exhausting. I have pain pills for those days but sometimes even they don't work. Do you know the state of your joints?

I had a mri last week just waiting for results the back of my neck also hurts it's like it can't even carrymy own head

oh that's good! I hope you get some answers so they will be able to treat your pain more effectively.

Don't.

Stick around, you'll eventually pull through! };-)

Have you made an appointment with your dentist? In most cases tmj resolves on its own.

I been thinking about trying amitripyline (sarotex) but Tinnitus is listed as a fairly common sideeffect, as with just about every AD. Even more frequent then fluoxetine.

I was on nortriptyline and I didn't have the same effect that I get from amitripyline
