I feel for you because in the short time I smoked I loved it as well. Thankfully I don't have any urges to smoke it because I forced myself to quit. It made my T spike, or I was more aware of it at least. I think because I have ETD and past sinus issues in the last 4 months that the weed wasn't...

You think so? I was an avid smoker for around 2 years and quit 4ish months ago.

I've been having some issues with my ears (eustachian tube dysfunction) for the last few months. Every time I stick my pinky finger in my ear (don't worry, I'm not being forceful or shoving it in there too deep haha) it comes out with a waxy goo-like substance. I'm sure it's just earwax but it...

If I put my chin down to my chest and then quickly (not too fast but not slowly) pull my head back up, I can hear a small pop in my left ear just as I am lifting my head back up. It doesn't sound like my jaw, and isn't like a normal popping sensation in the ears. I can just hear a faint pop 75%...

Still haven't gotten back into it. My friend even gave me a pot brownie for my 22nd birthday last week and I rejected it. I bet it wouldn't go as badly with edibles as it would with smoking, but I could do without the possible anxiety.

It's been a few weeks since I have posted, mainly because I am sure of my cause of T and have been coping much better. My T is caused by this ongoing sinus problem (I just noticed tonight that my tonsils still have not rid themselves of these grayish spots. I plan to ask the doctor about that...

Unbelievable, every single time I feel like I'm getting better I wake up the next day feeling worse, and this is a new "worse". The dizziness is extremely slight but my balance isn't 100% and even typing this message on my phone my fingers feel exhausted. I'm going to give it today and go to...

Update: woke up after over 9 hours of sleep and felt like I could go for another 5-6. My body was very fatigued, balance seemed okay and no dizziness. But I feel very tired... Correction, I take it back. If I stare at one object in the room the whole room starts to spin very very slowly. I can...

Today I found myself slightly dizzy in class. I've been having sinus issues for the last 3 months and a little over a week ago my right ear filled up with more fluid. It caused me to have patulous Eustachian tube where I could hear my breathing slightly. When I looked down at my keyboard at my...

I plan on going back to the doctor in the next few days if there is no progress. My left ear has been going in and out of ringing for the past week and a half, so I'm hoping it will go away but I'm worried that the sinus infection might not be the cause and it's ideopathic.

For the last week I've been able to hear my breathing in my right ear. One week ago I went to bed with my right ear feeling full and pressured, and it almost felt like fluid was pouring into it. I woke up unable to open the eustachian tube. Even the valsalva maneuver wouldn't open it for an hour...

Recently I've been hearing my breath in my right ear, as well as a subtle reverberation when I speak. The autophony is not terribly loud, and I do not have any hyperacusis. I can just hear my breath when I exhale in one ear. I've been dealing with sinus problems for a while, and a week ago I...

I saw a doctor today and she did not see any rupture in the eardrum which is great news. She gave me flonase to help keep the sinuses open and kill this lingering sinus issue that's been around for 3 months now. I'm not sure if that's really going to help, but I might as well try. I'm sick of...

Thanks for the replies everyone, I'm not even sure I am able to pop my ears when I do this, I just get to the point where my ears feel plugged then I relieve the pressure, I've never popped them directly from the valsalva maneuver. I will go to the doctor tomorrow but I'm pretty sure I haven't...

When I plug my nose and blow air, causing my ears to fill up, my right ear doesn't quite hold the air pressure in there. Normally both ears hold the pressure until you pop them. But with my right ear kind of inflates then deflates without me popping them. Is this a sign of a blockage, or a...
