I wanted to post this to make myself feel a little calmer because I was freaked out this morning.
As some of you whom have read some of my posts before may know, I have tinnitus in my left ear and hearing problems. I have come to terms and become used to the fact fact that I can deal with the tinnitus even though I hate it.
This morning when I woke up, my right ear was buzzing SO loud! I almost had a heartattack. I never had any tinnitus in my right ear! (every once and a while I have a little ring that suddently appear and than I pop my ears and it goes away). My left ear was going nuts too (normally that is worse in the morning so I am used to that). I think I must have a bad dream too because I sat straight up when I woke up- although I can't remember it.
The ringing in my left ear is like a little snake hissing but the right ear was like a buzz like the alarm clock going off. Ugh! I don't know what is worse - having two ears with tinnitus and the same sounds or two ears with different sounds.
Anyhow, I was all worried and upset. Why? Because when you have tinnitus, you never know if it will go away. You can't control it for the most part and there is no universal cure really. They are not even sure what causes it - there are a zillion things it could be ( I have some theories about mine but who knows). So, the prospect of having tinnitus start in my other ear is not something I welcome (it is one of things I fear happening to me).
I realize tinnitus is not a life or death thing and there are much worse things to have wrong with your health and I am grateful I do not have them but to me it is a big deal.
So, I basically cried myself back to sleep (bf was no help - he got mad that I woke him up and went to sleep elsewhere ) and the sound did lessen a few hours later when I woke up again. Right now, I can still hear it - although faintly.
I am crossing my fingers that it goes away.
I did eat too much cooked food yesterday and I am was stressed out about money (might have bought it on because my jaws feel tense). I noticed that my tinnitus feels better and my ears 'clearer' if I eat more raw food and drink more juice. So today, I am just having raw food, less chewing, more liquids. tinnitus treatment and tinnitus treatments cure
Plus, I feel like i have too much wax in that ear as it feels more 'plugged' so I am going to lay around with some wax remover in it. (normally, i would go to my audiologist to have it removed but since I got laid off, I have no health insurance).
Anyhow, if anyone else needs to cry about their tinnitus, I am more than happy to 'listen' (ha ha...listening to other things makes the tinnitus seem less obvious as anyone will tinnitus knows)
"Beep beep beep, oh no heavy, the coins keep coming out, beep beep beep, even the telephone hates me, beep beep beep, I wish there were no machines, and everyone led a pastoral existence, trees and flowers don't deliberately cool you out and go beep in your ear."
