Tension and headache

[Toughmathew]

So sad t spike, nth gp seems to be able to help even a placebo or offer a paracetamol but t sound is getting higher and i feel its not just psychosomatic, there is sth going on in the head , nhs lothian said urgent cases is 12weekd, and gp showed me he remarked urgent.....however its not just worry but i feel so uncomfortable, frustrated. Could u guys tell me about your experience

One more thing am i be able to apply for benefit sth like inability to work due to illness

we have said to you before, about contacting Tinnitus UK (used to be the British tinnitus association) with your various questions. Have you contacted them?

You will not, I think, find any doctor prescribing you paracetamol for anything. You can buy paracetamol for less than £1 for eight tablets. It is for pain relief and will do nothing for tinnitus or anxiety.

If you want to apply for some kind of benefit, and cannot do the research yourself, then there are probably local charities who can help you. I cannot suggest who you might contact as these are often local to your area.

hi Mathew - what is it that has made yr T louder ?? - do u think its becasue of noise

[Toughmathew in reply to Suz_2]

Not really this week gp consultation again but i beleive it wont get anywheree

[Suz_2]

t is possible with extreme disabling T - to be on benefits if u are unable to work - you would need a report from GP or ENT and then an assessment with the government dept for disability benefits-

ask Citizens advice bureau , like Rabbits said / also ask yr GP or ENT consultant

[Suz_2]

did u see ENT consultant yet ? have u had ENT MRI scan - i think for T with headaches you would need to be referred for scan

I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms. I have been suffering for over 3 years with tinnitus and headaches. 2 MRI scans have shown nothing significant. I have been prescribed Amitriptaline but it doesn't make much difference. Paracetamol is probably your best option.With regards to benefits I went through the whole laborious process and got declined at the end.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

[Toughmathew in reply to Martymacfly]

No u re kind to share , process of benefit is complex, may i know how they say to decline

And hows your t habituation now

[Toughmathew in reply to Martymacfly]

I hear u say about trial treatmenet where can we get actually

[Toughmathew in reply to Martymacfly]

Also pal do u have hearinf losss and could u tell me about hearing aid

[Toughmathew in reply to Martymacfly]

And also i m on antidepresant but the one u re using i just google can be dor migrate perhaos i asked for a change tommrow

[Martymacfly]

You have lots of questions and I don't really have any answers. I've been to Consultant level for ENT & Neurology, followed all advice and my symptoms continued to deteriorated. I'm at a point where I've accepted all those horrible symptoms but refuse to let them stop me living. Very hard but possible. Go to your GP and get him/her to refer you to ENT is my best advice but don't get your hopes up too much.
