Hi everyone I thought Id give you an update. As you all know I woke up with a blocked left ear in December which was put down to a blocked Eustachian tube, this persisted until beginning of January when it finally reopened and was relieved of the fullness/blocked feeling. T was still there but...

Thank you everyone for your responses, there is some great tips and advice here. @Kaelon @Marlene @LadyDi After feeling generally OK most of today, I'm currently in the grips of panic right now, I don't know why but my T and anxiety are so much worse in the evening. I applied the olive oil to...

So I have just returned from seeing my GP, mixed emotions about it really! I sat down, explained the worsening T, feeling of blocked/fullness in left ear, slight hearing loss. She looked in both ears, my right (less troublesome) one first and all seemed OK, she then took at look my left and...

Hi Mike Thanks for sharing your story, but sorry to hear you're in the grips of anxiety due to your T. I can say wholeheartedly in my opinion, anxiety is the worst thing for T. And in coming to terms with T, the first step is tackling the fear and emotions that come with it. My T has...

Google is your best friend and your worst enemy, I speak from a mountain of experience with this. My hypochondria and anxiety was so bad a few years ago that I'd spend hours googling symptoms, visited A&E on several occasions, became a total recluse, lost my passion for creativity (I'm a graphic...

@Marlene Yeap I'm in Plymouth! My chap is a Royal Marine based at 42 CDO. Oh I'm not at all in anyway criticising the negative stories, I do understand so many have it so much worse and are still in the early stages of coming to terms with T. I may sound upbeat and positive, but I'm feeling...

At night, I personally find the sound of rain very helpful, or I play very relaxing classical music. I also practice a relaxation technique: lying in the most comfortable position possible (for me, this is on my front with my arms by my side, some prefer a recovery position), I then direct ALL...

Hi LovesToTeach Sorry to hear you've had no relief. I knew I was right to be sceptical about the nasal spray but I'll give it a try anyway :\ I find my ear will unblock for a few hours, often after a shower which I believe is due to the warm steam in the nasal passages. But will soon block...

What a fantastic post, new to this site and this was the uplift I needed today. Thanks very much :)

Hi Marlene, thank you for your reply! Yes I am based in South West UK. I find the stories of success very comforting, especially ones that are based on using CBT and brain re-training techniques to tune out or habituate to the T. There is so much negativity in the media about T which can...

I should also add im experiencing slight aches and pressure in my sinus area, not sure if this is related?

Hi everyone My name is Jess and I'm 22 years old. What a relief to discover this site, though it's caused me mixed emotions seeing the negative and positive stories, it gives me great comfort to know that I'm not alone. Around 2 years ago, I completely randomly woke up with T. I hadn't had a...
