So Tinnitus (December 2012-now) and then also Hyperacusis with some Tensor Tympani Syndrome (November 2013-now), but also I believe the past couple months I have had Eustachian Tube Dysfunction as well as now TMJ.
Is there no hope for me?
Saif, you may well be one of the youngest people on these boards, which puts you in the supremely fortunate position of being someone who will probably enjoy a cure in your lifetime! The problem with youth, sometimes, is you don't have enough of life's rough patches already under your belt. These 'patches' comes in all forms. They are part of the human condition, but the level of suffering we take on is optional. Yes, it's actually optional. You, Saif, can choose (ie; take control) to not suffer as badly as you are right now. You have a powerful mind, that has taken you into a deep depression. Harness that strength of feeling right back out of the black hole. Get angry, get moving, tell yourself you are taking your life back. At 19, there is university to attend? skills to hone? falling in love? family? friends? There is your life, just waiting to be picked up. Possibly, a trusted doc (as Miss lavender stated) can help you conquer the anxiety you are experiencing. It will subside in time. Really, it will, you just have to be willing to even fake it in the beginning, until your mind has decided it will make it through after all.I'm only 19 with :
Tinnitus + hyperacusis + diabetees + hypertension and ETD .
I don't know why should I live.
Hi Demi, I am so sorry to hear of your pain. I just got T4 months ontop of my depression so I feel your pain. I will say I have struggled thru depression before and have come back. You need to find help thru family, friends, spirituality, doctor, therapist- something that will help you, It sounds like a cliché but you need to try and take it one day at a time and see what starts helping you. You are certainly being tested now and no one has an answer for that, but take strength in a new day tomorrow. I wish you peace.So Tinnitus (December 2012-now) and then also Hyperacusis with some Tensor Tympani Syndrome (November 2013-now), but also I believe the past couple months I have had Eustachian Tube Dysfunction as well as now TMJ.

Because you are better and stronger than all the above, Because your family and friends need you, Because you deserve a good life, Because you are you and in time you'll conquer all your challenges ... stay strong, and give time, time ... bless you.I'm only 19 with :

@lapidus I've wondered this myself. I need all 4 wisdoms out, badly! However I worry mire about the numbing shots triggering my nerve pain but I am at point where they have to come out.
@lapidus Id definitely recommend taking them out because 1) if they are crooked they can cause many, many cavities in other teeth, as there is less room in your mouth. 2) they can becomes infected and that could go into your blood which is not fun. From my experiences they cut your gum open so it needs no drilling. In most cases lidocaine and antibiotics (normally amoxicyllin) prescribed afterwards dont have an effect.
Also, TMJ has quite clear and annoying symptoms. A little clicking here and there and having wisdom teeth has nothing to do with TMJ.
Thank you
The thing is, my dentist do not think it's urgent to take them out. He's like "meh, if ya wanna take them out, I can do it, but I can't see the big deal." But my father in law who is a dentist think it's urgent. Anyway, I'm gonna take the upper ones out, cause I know for a fact that that does not need drilling. However, I'm still scared shitless that it will make things worse.
nah ive had one already taken out and another to come. did not make it worse..
Yes, but you don't have severe hyperacusis. I've been to the dentist many times in the past with my T and that has never made it worse. Now it's a different story.
yes but you know they dont have to use a drill they can just open the gum up without drilling. also, wear headphones if necessary. I think the injections for anaesthesia make the connections between the nerves weaker as well. Just talk to your dentist/surgeon about it.
@lapidus I actually was just put in contact with another audiologist, who has supposedly had success doing TRT for Hyperacusis suffers though she isn't on the list of certified TRTA members. I'm going to meet with her once my ENT faxes over my previous hearing tests!
I was thinking about getting the pink noise CD, I guess I was just hoping that I could see an audiologist who would listen to me and check my LDL's. My last visit with the ENT he checked my comfort levels instead and they came out normal...but I wanted to know my LDL's. I felt like he wasn't taking my problems seriously and just prescribed my anti-depressants/anxiety because he thought it all was my anxiety getting to me.
