i think deafness is withdrawal related, as dry eyes, mouth, nose and itching etc; drs deny withdrawal and say nothing, only i have lost 80% of hearing etc(what i know already, i come to them for that); the hearing for me is 3000/4000 euros to put the opposite noise of tinnitus to help a little, but deaf is deaf; as i seem blocked in ears, what help will give this opposite noise in one ear? not much i think;Originally Posted by grandmaD

You can say that again! Yes, I know I should've taken it more easy, yet I am so stubborn! Still paying for it, by doing nothing the past few days and still got bad head ... just keep hoping tomorrow will be better (each day). I am thinking have to accept I have to leave it another year ...It's soooooo frustrating to have to curb your activities so much and be so, so cautious, in order to minimize the symptoms! I hear ya!
I love your "ticked off" cartoon, right on!

6.2 week 6 compared to last week 5
Overall:
Not a good week with many symptoms worse, especially pressure heads, 2 days in bed with migraine and a headache another day and dull heads. Resorted to strong p/k’s again. I put all this down to trying to do gardening and overdoing it.
6.2 week 6 compared to previous week 6 drop
Overall:
Many things the same
Several things improved, including breathlessness
Lots of things worse. I am sure due to trying to garden and overdoing it.
6.2 week 6 compared to previous week 6 drops @ 5%
Overall
Several improvements, including breathlessness, cramps, itchies and head vibes
Many symptoms the same
Several worse including tension heads ,naseau, headbanging and spasms.
oops, I found I had already done this week's updae on previous page! I was so sure I hadn't as our computer is as slow as a wet week lately and that I gave up yesterday without putting it up! Oh well, head is not good. But I am remembering to use my own toothbrush lately instead of hubbys! For quite a while there I kept using his, I just wasn't thinking.
Ooh! A new one for me! Love it!

No doubt about it, Stan. By the way, are there any moments it gets better for you, or the 80% is pretty much constant? It's terribly frustrating, I know. But be patient.
Keep walking. Just keep walking.
deaf is constant, only the tinnitus is moving

How is it Stan can be deaf yet still hear ringing? I find the same - use earplugs and still hear ringing! Does it come from way inside the ear, or something!
Very quick update as I almost sliced my thumb off a couple of days ago so hard to type. Finally, in last few days of week 7 my head began to subside to mild pressure. I am pretty sure I didn't help myself by trying to garden in weeks 5-6 when I may have been better. I have to accept I cannot do it until/unless head pressure comes right back to mild at least. As you said, it is a learning process finding out what my limits are and I am still learning (slow learner as I get impatient and press on, pay for it and then learn from it and then repeat the cycle!) One day .........
I can soooooooooo relate to this. I just want to be back to 'normal' and able to do all the things I want to do. But then, I really can't complain - I'm living a relatively normal life now.
Aropax (Paxil). Currently at 13mg and holding.

Oh, yeah, this cultivating patience thing is really hard.
So sorry to hear about your thumb, gD! Sending healing vibes....
