Extreme Fatigue After My Tinnitus Started

Anyone suffering form extreme fatigue since their tinnitus started?

...Since I got this, 3 months ago, feel like all the energy in my body is being used up listening to this tinnitus, it depletes its energy...

 

I would imagine almost all of people who have this constant and severe. It’s almost a given.

Before tinnitus I never had a bad night’s sleep in my life. I could sleep standing up. Now I wake up ten times a night. Everyday I feel like a zombie and it’s getting worse. A few months ago I was just about coping and working but now my body is falling apart with exhaustion and I’m ill constantly.

Before I got tinnitus I didn’t even have a cold for about 5 years. Since I got this 18 months ago I’ve been hospitalised with exhaustion, pneumonia, kidney infection and multiple chest infections and flu like symptoms. I even got hives recently after not sleeping for three days in the midst of my latest illness.

This affliction, at its most severe, opens a doorway to hell. No human is designed to be able to endure this.

 

I am too fatigue to know what fatigue is anymore.

 

Yes I am constantly exhausted mentally and physically with extreme headaches. Neck pain and the strangest symptoms. I slept great before this. I have to be on meds to sleep now because of this strange malady and I am against using meds but have no choice. I had incredible energy and hardly had to visit Doctors before this just appeared one morning upon awakening. The few people I know that claim to have this do not experience the same. I just don’t get this malady. I am trying so hard to be who I was before this.

 

Yes... we are not alone, praying for us all...

 

I can relate with @Bam at this. It is expected to feel fatigued if your tinnitus is loud. The depression of not being able to enjoy what life normally has to offer, the lack of sleep, the stress, the lack of the ability to relax and the state of a nervous system that is constantly tensed and overstimulated, compromise our bodies' balances and create a chain reaction of new health problems. That's my experience so far. The body is a holistic system. Mind and body is one. Bad psychological state and the general miserable state that tinnitus evokes create a fertile ground for more illnesses, health problems etc.

 

Vermillion... so right on!... Cascade of events, must channel neurons that are happy ones, not easy...

 

@Bam reminds me of myself. Clearly, sadly, he is gone from this world.

And, damn, his story struck such a nerve. I brought tinnitus + hyperacusis onto myself due to my stupidity/ignorance. In case of @Bam, it was some bitch who was texting behind the wheel that caused that by crashing into his parked car. I'd have taken literal revenge, subjecting her to 150 dB sound making her suffer from the worst tinnitus imaginable.
