I know exactly how you’re feeling the same thing happened to me I was on prednisone for nine months never at the level you’re at the most I was on was 60 and I went down to 2 mg after nine months but I also got those shots in my ear When my episode first happened that tinnitus put me over the edge I cried all the time and I told my mother I didn’t wanna live but then I realize that life is worth so I bought a sound machine I can send you one if you want I’m sure they have one there you plug it in next your bed and got 10 different sounds. I also have AirPods and calming things you put them in your ear and you try to take the focus off the tinnitus when you listen to waves or fire crackling And you just try to decompress. I know it’s my ears ringing every day and certain things make it worse. Stay hydrated reduce your sodium don’t drink alcohol or minimal don’t go in loud situations. It’s an adjustment. Trust me I’m not sure how old you are?
I finally been on side, makes it more bearable, because the natural noises are less intrusive than TVs and radios.
Again, I’m very surprised that they started you on 120 mg that is insane and yes prednisone it’s not good but it works and sometimes if you can take it and tape her down I would see if the shots would work for you. It’s a horrible situation, but I’ve been dealing with it for two years. You can get through this you can do it, you know have some support try to keep busy. Try not to dwell on it again put the AirPod and put one in one ear. I got hearing aids so I could listen to it because my hearing got so bad I needed hearing aids right now it actually got to wear I don’t need the hearing aids , I try to turn ceiling fans on noises so I can sleep with the tinnitus. The reason I asked your age is middle-age, so you also have the menopause that happens which part of the insomnia
