I didn't but now I sure want to after reading your experience! Wow!!!! Luckiest lady I've met!

@Kgro719 ETD has been ruled out. Same with Menière's. No wax. It's just a mystery, lol!

@Kgro719 yes, lots of popping and clicking, even to this day. I had a pretty thorough ENT exam with a scope and everything - all was normal. No negative pressure on the drum, nothing found in 3 MRIs. I have no answers. But 2 months of Flonase did nothing, sinus rinse, etc. No change from...

Hi @Dina , I too have t from getting a cold during pregnancy, at around 30 weeks along. My daughter will be one on 2/27, so obviously mine never left, but I am also still breastfeeding so I still hold out some hope that it will at least one day improve. I remember being so sick with worry and...

I would love the instructions, thank you! I've had a couple large floaters and even occasional double vision, though that stopped when I gave birth. Very encouraging to hear that your eyes went back to normal, though. Have they been ok during this pregnancy so far? I know, it's so hard for...

A massage just sounds nice anyway! Stress exacerbates my T totally. So it's been awful since school started back up! What kinds of vision problems? I have been seeing some weird spots and things - no cause that optometrist or neuro-opthamologist could find, so it's been strange. Thank you...

I am still breastfeeding. Interesting, I had not heard that about hormones! Wouldn't that be the best ever, if it calmed or even went after I'm done... A girl can dream! I saw 2 ENTs after mine started in January. Neither of them had any clue about pregnancy/tinnitus being connected, but...

I could have written that myself! When mine started, my OB told me that it usually resolves after birth, but can take 6 months. That time came and went for me - but might be the case for you! Hang in there, Natalie!

Also, stay optimistic! I keep hearing that this goes for most people - and with other health issues, once they resolve, I bet you'll be fine. :)

I am so sorry about the anxiety and other health issues. I actually had severe anxiety during pregnancy prior to the T starting (also a possible cause) and tried taking my usual AD (Lexapro), but it made things worse - thanks, hormones! When the T started I had begun to feel better, but oddly...

My baby is now 9 months old and she's just a barrel of energy. It's been fun! Though people ask about when we'll have another (hate that question, T or no) and I don't know if I want to get pregnant again. There's a great chance it wasn't caused by pregnancy at all - it's just conjecture...

Hi @Natalie Roberts, I'm one of those that acquired T during pregnancy, at around 31 weeks. Unfortunately, mine never went away after giving birth in February, but an audiologist recently found mild hearing loss. Her theory was that my gestational hypertension caused some cochlear damage...

@Michael R yes! It feels like a brain shock! This is the worst part of my T - the noise I'm beginning to get used to, but the shocks are horrible!!!

I had a lumbar puncture a few years ago, and it did turn out that I had high CSF pressure which required treatment. Word of advice - lay flat for 24 hrs after, but even after you are mobile again, don't do anything to strain your back for a few days! I bent over the day after my procedure...
