Seems like you're the one who is projecting. The IP never was about judging people for feeling suicidal or about euthanasia. You turned it into...

I agree but I don't think that is the motivation here. I also had both balance issues fatigue and autoimmune dismissed as depression. When the...

@Zenyatta Actually I did not find your posts offensive. What I did find offensive is someone basically saying "shut up old woman" and others...

No one has called for banning anyone or censorship. Claims of that are common ploys used to defend offensive language by the way. Lex clearly...

Well I guess than so do I. I found the ageist and ableist attitude on this thread disturbing. That was my immediate reaction not something I...

My Dad was a respitory therapist and used to work in the ER a lot. He'd have a button that would say when he'd had enough radiation. He's also...

That sounds incredible the scan is able to produce so much detail. Do you know if it is more or less radiation or just better technology or both.

Don't think it sounds crazy at all but I was wondering because I was talking to it (not out loud of course). I think it helps to reframe it.

When the ent was going over my tests results initially I didn't understand the intracies of hearing and balance. Still have a lot to learn. Its...

I'll add it can be a rollercoaster of emotions too trying to deal with it. When that happens the downs seem so depressing. I felt pretty good a...

Best to make these desicions while you can before someone else is making them for you. If you know the train in heading off the track then stop...

A Dr like that seems pretty rare. Part of the problem is the ent is from one health system and the PCP is in the other. They have some sort of...

Please don't mention about referrals! The ent can not make some of the referrals he wants because of insurance (like neuro, clinic for the H)....

I wonder if being in an enclosed machine affects that too. The one MRI they have has a wider opening and is much shorter (short bore?) but not an...

I've tried three times the past few months and they've all been cancelled on me (2 different places). The one last week they called at 7am as I...

Back in 2010 I had ear pain and T and dizziness developed right away. Ear always looked fine and lackluster gp just said it was a virus and I...

Thanks. You've been really helpful and I appreciate it. I don't have a computer at home or internet so research is kind of hit or miss.

Thanks Glynis for taking time out to respond. At this point I may consider it for the dizziness if it would work for that. As you know it is the...

How long after the virus if you don't mind me asking. I am just puzzled because if this was caused by vestibular neuritis it would have been in...

I should add my T changed tone but no additional hearing loss which is what I was concerned about. I had really high pitched ringing which I...

Severe ear pain started this whole mess initially. I went to urgent care because I thought I had an ear infection but the doctor there said ear...

Sorry to hear about your mom. Take care.

Thanks GregCA and ErikN for your input too along with GregSacremento. I do appreciate it.

Thanks Greg. I just got back from the ENT and will just put the MRI on hold. My appt is in July so I'll think about it and try to find out about...

I have loud T in the morning. I've said sometimes I think it wakes me up. I didn't vote though because I don't know if I would consider it the...

I've read your posts and it is a fear with both T and H. Sometimes I wonder if drs take that into consideration or consider it acceptable...

Wow - has there been any relief for it or is it just the way it is now. My nerve issue was found on another test and now just trying to find the...

Not prohibited but I've had 3 cancelled on me by 2 different places all at the last minute. One while I was signing in, the other the day before...

Its being used as a rule out for AN too and to see if anything is happening to the nerve to cause it to not function properly. I wouldn't...

. Thanks for the info. Dr is looking for an AN or some thing pressing on the nerve. He mentioned a scan when I first balked at MRI. I know MRI...

I am afraid of the MRI because of the magnet and loud noise has such a physical reaction for me. I feel it strongly not just that it bothers my...

Dr is looking for something pressing on the nerve so technically not for the T. Possibly a blood vessel can do that. Don't know if that's good...

Glad you found someone sympathetic. However be mindful that their experience is not yours and professionally they should be able to draw that...

Sometimes I'm starting to think it acts like its having a tantrum if I'm not paying attention to it.

I don't have anything technical or scientific to add to the thread however I avoid these meds now as much as possible. I had horrible...

Glad your b12 was checked. Mines was extremely low a couple of years ago and I didn't have exposure to nitrous but read about how dangerous it...

Sorry about how your feeling. Has the Dr addressed your headaches. I've had migraines and I don't notice the T really affecting that. Are you...

Have you had your B12 levels checked. Nitrous oxide can deplete what the body stores. Once levels get too low a regular vitamin dose might not...

I also have T with an unknown cause and dizziness. Make sure to see the ent to rule out physical issues. I have a weak balance nerve on one...

According to the article they are enforcing so bars and nightclubs are mad. Tourists need to have some respect for the people who live there...

Is something in your diet contributing to this too - poor eating habits abound when your anxious or depressed. Also how long on the meds. That...

Welcome. My T is not noise induced but it sounds like you got help right away with the steroids. Protect your ears from any loud noises when...

Thanks Rosemerry. The T likes the bedroom especially and honestly I think it wakes me up sometimes. I was surprised I was able to laugh and just...

I was debating about posting this because I don't know how positive it is (I set the bar kind of low) but anyway: I woke up in the middle of the...

Actually you may have helped in a different way without realizing it. I've not been able to pin down why I am feeling unsettled beyond the T....

I pray and try to stay focused on the hear and now. My husband passed away suddenly in 2010. I worked with a therapist in grief counseling which...

I was naive when I started the med and discontinuation problems were just becoming apparent with the SSRI s ( so this was awhile ago). I should...

Hi Natalie. Ive battled OCD since childhood along with depression. I took Zoloft at a much lower dose and had an awful time trying to taper off...

Thanks this is interesting. I've had problems with hypervigilance before too) I didn't feel well and not just T related after the hearing test....

I mentioned to Bill that I had a spike and didn't feel well right after my audiogram. Even mentioned it to the ent at the time it was that quick....

Sorry you had a difficult time esp with family. I've had plenty of issues with people acting like I am just being oversensitive. In school I was...

I'm not pro or con - just pointing out how lab results are not necessarily the be all or end all. CFS has alot of vague symptoms too which is why...

It could be that electricity fuels the triggers - audio or visual for instance- and not an actual allergy to electric field itself. So maybe they...

Yes I think white or pink noise can be harmful done haphazardly. However lots of people don't know about that possibility or have no other...

I was not clear in that I was referring to those with extreme sensitivity to sound - and generally we know who we are. So what could be "just set...

I was labeled with CFS before. Some people fight for that label but I consider it a cheap and easy diagnosis. I noticed it mentioned how many...

Do you have sensory issues also. When I was very young I used to have what were considered debilitating panic attacks. It wasn't until my 20s...

I think that is a huge misconception when it comes to malpractice. My husband was the poster boy for heart attack I found out later. Not one but...
