I wish my family would watch this episode. They don't think it's a big deal because it not visible like a broken leg. I've wanted to jam pencils in my ears on MULTIPLE occasions.

A friend recommended I watch that episode it was awesome! I am working toward taking the advice given on how to cope.

Hang in there. I know exactly how you feel. During one fit of madness I considered shoving a pencil in my ear! Hopefully we both feel better soon.

Hi Lunar Firefly- Your story sounds a lot like mine but I've had PT for a little more than two months. My PCP referred me to a neuro for evaluation of peripheral neuropathy in my lower legs. The drug he put me on caused my brain to liquefy so I weaned off and refused any other meds. I too had...

Thank you Karen. I will get clarification of which test it is

I don't know which it is. I got a message from the doc at 5 to 5 - typical Do you know anyone who had had one?

Hi all- I am hoping someone can give me perspective. I have had PT for two months. I have had all the tests which were negative. The only test left is the angiogram. I am 49 and overweight. My father had a triple bypass at 57. I've always been worried about a heart attack. I suffer from...

So sorry about all you've been through. Hugs.

Thank you Karen. I will keep you posted.

Karen - Hope you are well. My MRI and Doppler studies were negative. I am happy about that. I don't want to keep having tests if not necessary. I am resigning myself to the probability that I will never know. I guess it's time to focus on habituating to the PT. I see the doctor in charge of the...

Still driving me crazy! It seems to increase as the day goes on for me too.

Hi Karen - ENT has referred me for MRI of my brain and Dopplers. I will have them next Tuesday. She said I may need to fight the insurance company for payment. Will see what happens. Today was a better day w the PT. I was busy most of the day. When things settled down the PT was roaring...

Good morning Karen Thank you for your reply. I feel better about the possible tests now. I called the ENT and told them I was concerned about my symptoms and waiting for a month to see a doctor. They are able to see me today. I will let you know how that goes. The tulsi holy basil is the...

Hi Karen - I can't thank you enough for your guidance. My TN was really bad this morning. Last night I got dizzy when I was in the shower. I fell but the curtain prevented me from falling out of the tub. I have decided to call the ENT tomorrow. Perhaps she can refer me for imaging studies...

Karen, Thank you for your kind response. I do not have a history of ear or vascular issues as far as I know. I did have my ears flushed prior to the PT intensifying significantly. I considered going to the er as my anxiety is super high especially since the tests I will most likely have...

Hi - I have had PT for about 4-6weeks I was diagnosed with a herniation at C6-7. I have been going to PT for a month. The modalities include neck traction, exercises and ice / stim. I had an overly aggressive Therapist who pushed me beyond my comfort zone. Later my PT increased 10 fold. I...

Billie - thank you. Very inspirational. I thought I replied but it didn't post.

Thank you! I really appreciate your link. I am sorry you lost your son. You are an excellent writer. I too will keep reading the success stories. I am sleepless at the moment. My two cats provide comfort. I have trouble concentrating. One of the worst aspects of T is not being able to read! I...

Hi again - I clicked on your link and your page cannot be found? Can you resend? Thank you

Hi Billie - I went to my Pcp and was crying. The assistant sat there and smacked gum the whole time I was trying to explain my situation. I couldn't believe my BP was 120/80 in the state I was in. Pcp said he thought it was a nerve not TMJ and referred me to an ENT who I see tomorrow. I tried to...

Thank you for your comforting replies. I am listening to my wave / seagull loop stressing over being unable to fall asleep. I have to get up early. I am pretty sure my T is TMJ related. I was diagnosed years ago. I haven't pursued treatment due to the cost. My insurance won't cover it...

Hi my name is Alexandra. I think I am losing my mind. I cannot sleep. Any background noise I try fails to drown out the constant buzzing. I have TMJ and am not sure if this is related. I cannot afford treatment at this time. Had anyone had treatment for TMJ and had a resolution? At this point I...
