feel better

 

Hi @Amelia, so sorry to hear you are so unwell at the moment and I wish you a speedy recovery. I have not been on here in a long while, but I decided to login to tell my T family that after going through a very very tough time last Christmas and New Year and having a nervous breakdown, I've bounced back with renewed vigour. My T returned with a vengeance October 2013 and really got me down big-time. In the end, I could not sleep at all (I mean about 5 days in a row at a time with NO sleep) and felt unable to function. I had to be signed off work and was so worried about losing my job. I was prescribed Prozac for depression, and after about 5 weeks started to feel better as my sleep returned. I then returned to work and have never looked back. My T has stayed, some days worse than others, and today it's very loud, but I think I must have habituated to it because it is very loud now but does not in the least get me down. Instead of worrying about my diet and looking for ways to reduce the T (I gave up caffeine for a while), I eat and drink the same and just get on with life. I want you to know that I don't think medications particularly exacerbate T, I just think it's stress and worry that does. Please just try to get better with whatever meds they prescribe, as I firmly believe that a positive attitude wins through in the end. xxx

 

Unhappy update guys I'm back at the drs needing more antibiotics ... And they won't let me go back on the same ones I was on (which didn't mess with my ears)
He wants me on keflex to try and knock it.
So worried

 

Sorry about your latest setback, Amelia. I hope you will get the right treatment and be well soon. A big hug and will pray for you. Take good care of yourself and don't worry.

 

Yes, you do need to focus on the infection, and I'm so sorry you're having a hard time getting better. Maybe the Keflex will do the trick.

I can't find information on this drug being ototoxic--so that's a good sign. Of course, it may temporarily increase your tinnitus while your on it--but it should be just that: temporary.

Right now, your focus has to be on getting well!

take care

Hi Amelia, I started Keflex (500mm 4x a day) on September 10th, I know it's a little late, but Keflex has not bothered my T at all. Monday I will be finished up with them. Plus it is helping me for it's intended purpose......

 

Well @Amelia hopefully Gary's post above will really encourage you. x
