Struggling again

[Ingrid-p]

My t has been back in the box for a few months, but now it’s back and it’s so loud. My left ear is literally roaring away and with a constant buzz in both ears.

Those who have read my previous posts will know I’ve had it for some 36 years, not always a problem tho only when it flares up.

I really don’t know what’s triggered it this time, but I guess none of us really do. All my old fears have resurfaced, even tho last time it was bad I promised myself I’d never get back to this stage, but here I am 😭 I’m wearing my aids with the maskers in and seeing my homeopathist tomorrow.

I’ve reread my previous posts and I’m feeling exactly the same as back then, but I know that this phase will pass. I’ve even thought about stopping my meds again, but I know how ridiculous this is as I suffer with high pressure. I’ve got a pre-op assessment on Wednesday and I really don’t want them saying my blood pressure is too high as that could put my op at risk.

I guess I just have to hope that my t will calm soon as it always has in the past. So frustrating especially at this busy time of the year. All I want to do is get on with my life like all my friends.

I was determined to stay away from the forum, but when t is this bad it is good to get support from others.

Let’s hope we all get some respite and that a cure is not far away.

Take care

Hello B, I'm sorry to hear you are struggling again, but you know the ropes by now! I am sure once your op and recovery are over you will be back on the mend again. You are having a stressful time and we all know this isn't helpfull.

Try and think of nice things and keep looking to the future when you will be feeling a lot better.

I'm looking forward to spring 😁.

Take care C xx

Thank you.

It’s so annoying, but I guess as you say I know the ropes.

I don’t actually feel stressed about my op, but probably somewhere in the depths of my mind I am. Just want to get it over and done with.

I’m looking forward to warmer and sunnier days 😎

Take care

Hi I am in the same position my T has been relatively low but having just moved house may have caused my spike like you I know mine will settle down again but it’s such annoying when it hikes up again hope it gets easier as I’m sure it will .

Hi, just a thought, as u have a pre op attp do u think u have possibly got a vit worked up abt it, and could this rgen start T off again ? Therefore after yr apot it may settle down ? Just might be. Hxx

[Ingrid-p in reply to CamperT25]

I don’t think I’m actually worried about my op, but stress like t is a funny thing. I’m hoping things will settle down soon, haven’t got time to keep worrying about my t!

Hang on in there Buddie123 and do what you did before and hopefully your T will calm down again. Good luck!

[Ingrid-p in reply to HissingSid]

Thank you I’m sure it will 😊

Hi Ingrid,

As we non-newbies know, it does settle down and we do yet again habituate. Stress is a major trigger so it is not surprising that you are back on this forum for support. You have given much help and advice with your posts so you do know that it will quieten again. The best thing is distraction - when I am 100pc occupies with life I don’t hear my T at all, except when I wake up. But, if I have stress or nothing to occupy my mind my T overrides my brain.

Love and best wishes
