Hello @Ellaenchanted868 i started with heaviness in limps and pain in my fingers and now I’ve lost sensation all over from damage in my neck and lower back. Doctors think that my neck damage is causing my H and T, my H was slowly building over time till an acoustic shock sent me over the edge.I...
@haha ear go eeee im okay now
And @Strawberryblonde my everything was bad. My ear canals got so swollen it caused some serious sharp pains in and all around my ears
@Mo8409 I have developed a pretty bad fear of sounds. I can’t help but jump as some noises hurt my ears terribly still. I use to love thunderstorms but now.. I’m just scared
Somewhat seems like a good word choice. I’m still very very mindful of sounds, volume and vibrations though my medication Cymbalta really helps my anxiety from those things. Honestly I recommend anxiety medication for anyone with TMJ as it’s brought down my facial pain from less clenching
@haha ear go eeee honestly it was hard. I would move around my apartment depending on where the noise was coming from and I have a supportive parent that is very mindful about his volume and handles anything noisy. It wasn’t easy but the more silence I gave my ears, over time I was slowly able...
@LostTruck I 1000% recommend overprotection rather than under. I have been able to reintroduce sounds back into my life(obviously very very mindful about volume vibrations and sounds I expose myself too BUT I am still in 24/7 protection though now I am mostly in ear plugs instead of plugs and...
My H is still active tho I have seen some improvements and my reactive T seems tied to my H. If I have a setback with my H than my reactive T gets worse as well.
@haha ear go eeee im sorry to hear that. I’m alright. Just struggling with my H. I have to wear protection 24/7 and ear plugs work best however my canals are swollen and need a break but I can’t wear my headphones without setting off my TMJ symptoms which is mostly face pain and sever nausea:D...
@Sammy0225 Ive been doing alright. Trying to live some kind of life while balancing the ever present fear that I have ticking time bombs in my head. Ya know, the usual. My T&H seem to really feed on my TMJ, so that’s nice haha I’m sorry the reactive is back. Are you back to sound isolation or...
@MadeleineHope As of right now nothing but cold compress and pain meds. My insurance covers no treatment options. And no I didn’t. Apparently I have enough tell tale signs from questions and physical exams.
@Strawberryblonde I know I’m late to this BUT magnesium also caused my T to pitch so I lowered the dose and just took a small dose three times a day and that seemed to help! Hope this helps :)
@Strawberryblonde No there wasn’t. Just the state and specifically the city I live in lifted the restrictions around fireworks so as soon as it’s nice out, people start letting them off.
I mean some music, yes. Softer stuff. (Not classical though, I think the piano/violin messes with me) But my ears get tired and achy from music. Someday are better than others though.
