The doctor I called won’t prescribe me prednisone and instead did Methylpredisone. I said I feel uncomfortable changing the drug since the...

I’m still lost what to do. At this point, I’ve gotten different answers. I’ve taken prednisone in the past and never had issues. I took it a...

I’m so considering going to doctor today. I have looked up stuff and it feels like some people who have discouraged me to go do this have used it...

So what does all this mean then? Don’t take it then? I am so stressed out. I can’t go to doctor to get straight answer and I also am not sure who...

The only problem is that I took prednisone about a month ago for another incident. So I don’t know if doctors will give the treatment to me or not...

It is louder though and it is hard for me to tell if that means it’s a new tone or a current tone is louder, or if that means an issue or not that...

I guess that is my problem though. I’m not sure if I hear a new tone or if it is really louder. It’s always loud and not sure if I hear a new tone...

I am buying taurine and should get it today. Giving all the above and the new lower tone and the weaker earplugs and 2 hours of the noise...should...

So, the key thing to note is the protection was LOWER than what I normally do. I have been in these situations before and had higher power...

@Bill Bauer , I have taken prednisone in the past and haven’t had any issues with it. It’s just a pain to get from doctor and they never dose very...

Should I get prednisone for this or am I overreacting and should give it time? I’m so stressed and can’t think straight right now on what to do....

I have been watching this thread and others, but can’t always keep up with it. I have heard some on the forum claiming that a hearing loss cure...

@Bill Bauer, thanks for your input thoughout this. Can I ask maybe why you feel optimistic about my situation? I am just scared because it’s been...

However, I did do a hearing test and there does not appear to be any hearing loss from previous test.

@Alue , thanks and sorry that happened to you. Did it get better after the work experience (since it appears the social experience was different)?...

@Alue, how do you handle it in a work setting? Like how do you prevent this from affecting your job when these events happen?

@Flamingo1 , thanks. When you had your spike, did a newish type tone appear and then eventually go back to normal? Not extremely new tone, but...

I don’t know, it was just a question. Please know I’m not looking to debate right now though, I’m seeking help as I am losing it right now. I’m...
