The Dreaded Tinnitus and the Headaches...

As we'd say in the Black Country, how bist yow?

As per my other thread, I'm four weeks into this utter shite that is T. I'm currently suffering fairly severe headaches to go along with it. The headaches seem to start early morning, tail off and then gain in severity late afternoon into the evening.

I'm finding that the headaches make the T far worse in terms of general experience (well, duh). The more pain I have, the more I notice the T. That seems to have a negative feedback loop until it suddenly stops. The pain goes and my awareness of the T, which I'd class a 4 or 5 out of 10 in terms of volume, subsides a bit.

I had no real headaches before the T.

I'd assume that the T is related to the headaches. Do people who habituate still get the headaches (assuming they were suffering from them with the T)? Any advice to cope with the headaches? Are they stress related or something physically linked to the T? Any advice for what pain relief to take for them (I'm taking paracetamol/tylenol)?

I'm finding copious amounts of ale helps.

 

@Damage_Inc are you Irish ?

 

Nope mate. West Mids in England.

 

I thought you were haha a lot of Irish people say Shite

 

could be TMJ. TMJ and clenching teeth and grinding teeth at night can cause T and headaches
