@lacy2 I had tinnitus for a very short time many yrs ago (25 or 35) because I dove into the deep end of my pool at a very steep angle. Evidently I punctured an eardrum but ear doctor said it would heal and it did. I am surprised that there is no treatment for it by now. How about acupressure or acupuncture or a white noise sound that can over-ride it. I have a book entitled Acupressure's Potent Points, A Guide to Self-Care for Common Ailments author is Michael Reed-Gach that is very helpful for a lot of problems that traditional medical doctors have no cures for or feel it's too insignificant to treat. It doesn't address tinnitus specifically but does have a lot of suggestions as to pressure points that hopefully can trigger a change in that area.
@lacy2 that all sounds very difficult to deal with. I hope you are getting some support from your doctors and others in your life.
I hadn’t heard about that side effect of Zoloft before. Too bad you can’t take it as it sounds like it was helping your mood. Have you tried a different SSRI or other antidepressant? I know that my pain is much worse when I’m depressed. Hang in there and hope you can find a little bit of relief every now and then.
