Hello all, I hope you're all doing well.
Well, I'm in my 25th month without any relief. I might have seen some if I hadn't slacked off about it for so long. All my symptoms are still present. I don't know if any of them have alleviated at all or I'm just more used to them.
Still the same tinnitus, Balance problems, Cloudy head....
The one symptom that has seemed to get better and I'm almost positive that it has is the pressure sensitivity in my right ear. I can now listen to music with headphones on without my vision jumping about. Which I am currently doing. Six months ago I wouldn't have been able to type this post or even read with the level of music playing in my ears. Though, At very loud points I still notice my vision jump. It does seem to be about 80% better.
I doubt any of you are as weak minded as me but I resorted to drugs to get an escape from this cloudy headed hell. Narcotics to be exact, Potent pain killers, I regret ever doing this. Getting off of those things was no walk in the park. It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I just wanted to make this a point as I used it for relief but all in all it didn't get me any where. After awhile I wasn't using to feel relief I was using so I didn't have to get sick (With-drawls). I thought my ears were a pain - Coming off of the habit I'd developed was absolute hell. I don't want anyone to make the same mistake as I did. I just wasted the past couple years of my life being an addict. I'm clean now and have been since July 4th. This is the 5th time I've gotten clean and the longest time I've been clean, I plan to keep it this way. :angel:
Please don't use drugs to cover up for something else. Unless prescribed of course. But even then it can get out of control. Benzodiazepines (valium/klonopin/xanax/ativan ect...) to be exact can also be quite addicting. I'm willing to bet people use them in situations where they are feeling nervous/anxious about there situation. Just don't let it get out of control. :)
The people at the NA meetings ask all the new comers what there reason for becoming addicted was, Guess what my reason was?. They stated that nobody wants to be a addict and they use to cover up for something. Which in turn is 100% on the money.
I hope everyone is doing great. [ removed ]
Also, Hbep, I hope you're doing well?(100% yet?). And everyone else as well.
I plan on getting back on track with my inner ear problem. Hopefully soon I'll see some kind of relief.
