    Bactrim, an Antibiotic — Ototoxic?

    Just wanted to report back in case anyone searches this topic in the future - I am currently finishing up my 7-day course of Bactrim and it has had zero effect on my tinnitus!

    Bactrim, an Antibiotic — Ototoxic?

    I see that my new post was transferred as a reply to this one. Looks like Bactrim has not hurt anyone on this thread,so that's good to know. Would still love to hear other experiences!

    Bactrim, an Antibiotic — Ototoxic?

    I was just prescribed Bactrim for a UTI. Wondering if anyone here has had any issues with Bactrim affecting their T? I'm crossing my fingers it has no effect ...

    Young Mother with Tinnitus

    Hi everyone, I thought I should report back in - first the good news, things are much better. First and absolutely foremost, I am sleeping regularly. And the tinnitus is now a background noise for me - MOST of the time.There are definitely still times when it annoys me, but I am able to keep it...

    Tinnitus Anxiety and Lymph Nodes?

    I'm 34. Since my tinnitus set in in late January, I have noticed the lymph nodes directly under/behind my ears are hard (like where my jaw meets my head/neck). This seems to directly coincide with the anxiety, tension, and messed-up sleep I have been experiencing. I'm working hard at relaxing...

    Oh, meant to add that I totally relate to not wanting to tell people. I don't really want to hear what they think about it. They can't possibly imagine what it's like!

    Wow, @handmaiden, thank you, thank you for this post. A lot of good information here, but mostly I want to tell you how strong you are for pulling it together for your boys. And while there is comfort in knowing others are going through the same thing, I got a little choked up reading what you...

    Ugh, Sam, I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble you had. I've been keeping up a supply, but it seem directly tied to how much sleep I've gotten the previous night!

    Sam, you mentioned that you were nursing at the time... I am finding my own milk supply drying up. Did you have that problem? As a mama who breastfed two kids into toddlerhood, I'm finding supplementing with formula to be one more trying experience added to the heap...

    Thank you all so much, you've helped a lot and given me more hope. MikeL1972, I've had some success with the "it's there, who cares" mentality. As long as there's no way to make it disappear, that sounds like the best approach!

    Thank you so much for the support and suggestions, volsung37 and Sam. It definitely is a constant struggle to remain positive, and it's a comfort to know I'm not alone. Sam, did the Remeron give you any side effects? Or is the dose low enough that you don't notice any?

    Young Mother with Tinnitus

    Thank you, Blue28. I agree, the panic just makes everything worse; it's a vicious cycle! It's also hard not to freak out about this being permanent. I still have many decades to live (I assume), and it seems unthinkable to have to carry this with me. It's my kids that are saving me, and I'm...

    Mothers with Tinnitus

    It's hard to say how loud it is. It's high-pitched and just.. there. All the time. The shower masks it, and the dishwasher, and the fridge, but not much else. On days where I haven't slept, it seems louder. I really want to stay away from antidepressants and sleeping pills.

    Young Mother with Tinnitus

    Hi all. I'm a 34-year-old mother of three tiny children and what I need right now is moral support. My tinnitus started up a few weeks ago, but now I realize it was always there, just quieter. I recently saw a very unsympathetic ENT who diagnosed me withhigh frequency hearing loss and...

    Mothers with Tinnitus

    I'm glad to have found this thread - I am new to T and I am a mother of three tiny kids. I can't believe this has happened to me, and I am trying so hard to remain calm and present in my children's lives, but the sleepless nights are robbing me of so much life and joy. During the day I can keep...
