I learnt to ignore tinnitus now. It is always on my left side. Only in quiet settings it gets very much amplified ofcourse Xanax brings down the tinnitus too but tinnitus is not an issue for me anymore. Atleast at this point.
I don't like drinking alcohol so thought I try marijuana. Looks like didn't work for you. As I said I really don't want to take any of this stuff.
But right now I am in a desperate situation. 6+ years daily head pressure headaches, dizziness, fatigue etc., Took a toll on my body and brain. No permanent solution and all temporary. I did my best to get out and do things and at times push it too. Not sure how long I can lead this terrible life. |
Totally can relate. I have all of the above symptoms you mentioned. So bad that I can't hold a 10 min conversation in public without feeling like I am going to pass out. The fatigue is also a major issue. I don't know how anyone can properly work full time with PCS.
Serc didn't do a lot for me either, which is surprising given the mechanism of effecting blood flow to the inner ear. You would think that it would help more for dizziness/vertigo related stuff.
I too am starting to wonder if I will ever get better, although half as long as you have had to deal with this hellish condition. I will definitely let you know if I find anything else that works for me. Something that does anything for me at this point I am interested in.
If you haven't tried curcumin yet (most absorbed part of Turmeric plant), try it. It has helped some inflammation for me and also helps a bit with depression. Although mine is mild, the depression can get out of control on bad days.
I do find that summer is much easier on my PCS and symptoms reduce by about 30%. It is very cold here in the winter and affects circulation. Do you find the same?
Just to feel normal again...
