Do you realize how your mind is giving you permission to get worse?

If you predict a bad outcome and have an anxious mind, that bad outcome is sure to happen.

Instead, look forward to feeling better. Stop looking for symptoms. Simply ignore them. A headache may seem hard to ignore until you have experienced them for months on end and just need to get on with life. One takes some aspirin and acetaminophen/paracetamol/Tylenol to reduce the intensity. That reduced intensity is seen as a relief and enjoyed, rather than complained about "The headache did not go away completely."

I have tinnitus 24/7 at about 65 dB. I can focus on it or I can ignore it. I choose to ignore it.

btw, aspirin and paracetamol can be safely combined at maximum dose. My headache doctor told me to combine them. Just take a break from them every few days if you need them continuously.
