So I've had a moderate level of tinnitus for around three years. It's a high pitched ringing in my right ear, audible over most conversations. When this first developed I honestly thought I'd never be able to live with it. I'm a very anxious person and I struggle with normal life sometimes, let alone with this torment on top. But I amazed myself and with time and a lot of effort, I'm now (or at least was) totally at peace with it.
This has changed as over the last few weeks I seem to have developed Interstitial Cystitis. All my UTI tests are clear and the docs don't know what's causing my bladder pain, so I've been told it's IC and I just have to live with it.
I'm now back into a world of having to come to terms with a chronic condition that's driving me crazy and putting me in a lot of discomfort. What's worse is that it seems to be unravelling all the hard work I put in habituating to the tinnitus. I now find myself obsessing over the ringing noise,
especially at night.
I'm on the forum to find support and also perhaps find other people who live with both tinnitus and another chronic condition on top.
