    @Bill Bauer I've also been experiencing some painful pressure in my ears for the last couple weeks. Idk if that means anything. It wasn't there at the start of the T. But it's been a noticeable change.

    I feel the same way. Sometimes my T feels the same way. Sometimes it feels like it gets louder throughout the day. Since it's subjective I can not tell if it's actually. If it's just perception or real.

    That describes me to a T. I can't control my emotions. I'm weeping every day. I will talk with my psychiatrist about this. I don't know if it would help. As my anxiety is now heavily around my sleep. The moment I lay down it just spikes.

    I will talk with my psychiatrist about this drug. I just started last night Olanzapine (Zyprexa). I had an incredibly difficult morning this morning, despite how it helped me sleep. My mind didn't jump into feedback loops of worry and I was able to sleep relatively quickly. It's supposed to...

    @GregCA I took one at each ent visit. Each came back with results that my hearing was good. Nothing abnormal. I think I will try and get an mri. My last ent who was more on the neurology side told me from my symptoms that it doesn't sound like something a mass or growth on a nerve would cause...

    @billie48 thank you so much for your reply. Its difficult(impossible) not to cry reading all these responses. It's helps to know there are people out there who understand.

    @GregCA I have tried to find the root cause. It came after I had a sinus infection in April that I was slow to seek help for until it was very bad. After I had gone through most of my medication, prednisone I heard the tinnitus. First ent I went to said it's likely a side effect of the...
