One more day of drugs...

It's been 2 weeks since I started the prednisone to try to bring my hearing back... and no real change... I'm sure there are cases where the hearing randomly comes back at some point in the future, so perhaps that can still happen.
I've got an appointment with another specialist next week, so fingers crossed that perhaps he has some other magic to work for me.
I still haven't heard from the MRI clinic. I've got to assume that must be because the Doctors really don't think that there's anything other than a freak ear thing going on, so I'm not worrying. Really, not worrying, I tell myself.
I'm hoping that after the drugs are done, I won't get such bad headaches. They feel like no headache I've ever had before - half of my head just feels like it's trying to split away from the other half. Yesterday was the worst one yet - I couldn't focus on what I was working on and had to actually stop and lay down for a few hours, not looking at anything and trying not to think at all. I did feel quite a bit better today, maybe because it was only a 2 pill day! Thank goodness!
One more day... then hopefully I'll feel more "normal" (not that I've ever really been normal!).
Positive thoughts everyone! Thoughts about beautiful sounds that have no resemblance to ringing at all, and a relaxed head with no pain or pressure... feathers and bubbles... feathers and bubbles...

  1. Sadly those clinics are often so backed up, it's unreal.
    Keeping my fingers crossed for the spontaneous hearing and that it returns as suddenly as it disappeared.
    HUGS!
