Nervous About Having a Drink Again!

Hello everyone!!!

So I'm day 39, and for the most part I'm doing better. But I want to have a drink tonight while watching Netflix. I'm nervous, I would have wine but I ran out, so beer it is! My question : when you drink, do you have a spike?

I would only be drinking one.

Ps. Coffee has no affect on me


Thanks

Jamie

 

Enjoy your beer, you will be fine! Alcohol has no effect on my tinnitus. And even from all the people who I have seen say it makes it worse, I have never seen anyone say it made it permanently worse. It's always temporary.

Thanks @Michael2013 im drinking one right now! We will see!!! I'm not letting T take my relax mid week beer away from me!! That and tacos

 

let me know how it goes!
i really need a beer right now!

 

Doesent seem to affect me when I drink beer but with wine it does....
Exercise seems like it makes the t go away for a little while anyway.......

 

Hmm I drink still. In fact my T goes away when I'm drunk and comes back when I'm sober. It's weird. I was never that heavy of a drinker though

 

What about salt?

 

I get nervous when I don't drink!

 

Hell, I get nervous when you don't drink.

 

Heck,I get nervous for Zorro for being nervous about Sailboardmans nervousness about not having a drink,which in itself makes me extremely nervous.

 

Okay, so I had the beer. And it was bad. And I couldn't sleep. I got s big spike that hasn't gone down yet

Sorry @Mario martz I wish I had better news

 

@bill 112 I think I just got too nervous but it was bad... Still hasn't gone down yet and my ear hurts bad

 

My Uncle has loud T and spends nearly every weekend bladdered in the pub.His T is always louder the next day before settling,it never made his T permanently worse so try not to worry Jamie

 

How long will this spike last it's so loud and my anxiety is not helping. I'm freaking out that I messed up

 

The spike won't last. There is no permanent damage here.

 

Jamie try to relax, dont worry it will come down.
when i eat to much salt i get the some kind of spikes
but they eventually go away after a few hours, try to drink water.
to get it out of your system

 

Thanks everyone! It's still being loud! But knowing it will go down makes me feel better. I have a headache know close to the left ear. It's probably because of no sleep.

 

I get spikes the following day after drinking but it eventually dies back down.

 

@Paul82 how long?

 

@Jamie m Usually dies away by the evening for me.

 

The odd drink can do you the world of good and help you relax .
Life is about enjoyment so don't let tinnitus spoil what you like with in reason....lots of love glynis

 

@Paul82 thanks I was just wondering

@glynis I was enjoying it at first and then boom!! It started to increase in volume and I didn't sleep at all last night. I didn't cry for a week I was so proud of myself and then last night couldn't stop into the morning. ;(

 

See how you go on with the odd drink but don't over do it as it can spike tinnitus for some.
A good cry can do you good as it's out bodies emotional responce off loading.
Think I might have a glass of something nice later ....lots of love glynis

 

@glynis I'm done with beer! I'll try wine sometime! I got a massive headache so I think that might have to do with it too

 

Hope you feel better soon .
I'm enjoying a glass or two of cherry .....lots of love glynis

 

@glynis jealous!

 

Drinking for me calms my T most of the time. If I could..I would wear one of those beer hats that carry 2 beers. Wear it all the time ☺

 

My T is noticeably louder while I'm drinking but always goes back to baseline. I believe it is the worry and the headache that has you're reacting to right now, not the alcohol. Hope you're feeling better.

 

@annabel16 thanks! I worked all day and when I got home I told myself if I could still here I was going to take half of Valium. So I'm feeling pretty fine now. I haven't taken it in a month but I was too worked up over this.

I noticed that sometimes my ringing sounds like connected to AOL back in the 90s .... T is strange
