Hello all. Well have lost my comment about what happened when ent phoned me March 23... ten minutes of yelling at me (I put on speaker phone half way through so husband could hear)... that he had more serious patients, cancer, operaitons, 18 people begging to see him and son's friend.... when I went to speak he said I was not paying attention....that 30 yrs ago i had tmj etc. That morning before he phoned i had two ocular migraines and daughter had phoned his office to cancel phone call but he didn't get message and when I went to explain my mental state after the 2 migraines at 6 and 7 am approx and awake since four, I think he thought I was asking for help for non-ent issues. I wrote 2 letters to him, tore them up, and then a short one almost apologizing for whatever I did or said to upset him! I think he is stressed out as only 2 ents here. Anyway since then, emerge as had 2 very bad "almost dizzy but worse" attacks early am and eyes would not focus etc., and had 1 milder attack at emerge. Dr. just said take tylenol!!! Anyway I have tinnitus 24,7; pain and pressure in ear "area" and head pain sides and back still... on and off for months but now every day... So daughter phoned dr. at GoodDrs clinic in Ontario and amazing Dr.Ahmed ordered ct scan with contrast to try and find out what is wrong and what can be ruled out. Also a week ago pain in calf and again this clinic emailed me a blood test and positive for blood clots and only small but Superficial Phlebitis right calf and just warm wet cloth on and off... feels a bit better now but this resting in bed all day has not helped in that regard so trying to get up more. psychological as well.
From mild, if can use that word, tinnitus to 24/7 to soft to loud it is the pits and honestly I have found no solution. I leave YouTube piano music on my ipad all night very low, take sleeping pill and managing a few hours at a time which is saving me. I dont doubt that pain around jaw area and neck is not tnnitus but I dont want to start strong pain killers. At same time Dec. and March had 2 molars removed and they were beasts to extract, well been in mouth 70 years! So had all this with sore throat.... I was not a happy camper!
Sorry this is so long but may as well get it all out at once... am trying to get help with light housework maybe some light meals but no one is available plus we are in lockdown re covid but my husband is not feeling best from triple heart bypass last november and covid vaccine last Thursday.... he is my PSW right now although I do have a few hours each day I can do a few things but the pain and being scared of possible Meniers or possible another attack of Vertigo has me scared to death I dont mind saying; I applaud the hundreds even thousands of people dealing with a lot more than this and are coping somehow or the other, but I must admit I am struggling. (oine thing the ent yelled at me was: "fifty per cent of people who have tubes in ears end up with holes in ear drums" not sure if that is true but I wont have it done... maybe he was just trying to scare me, he succeeded!! BEST OF LUCK TO ALL ... SORRY THIS IS SO NEGATIVE BUT ITS HOW I AM RIGHT NOW 🌹🌹🌹
