Waking up

Posted on 08/15/09, 01:44 am

Sometimes Iwake up and I can't hear the Tinnitus. As I lift my head it starts in. Also when I take a nap sometimes it gets louder. Any clues

  I have noticed that when I wake, my tinnitus is at one level but as soon as I get out of bed, it gets loud. After a few minutes it goes back to its normal annoying level.

  My goodness, that exactly what happens to me. What is this thing? It' s hell! Kasandra, how are you still smiling that big beautiful smile of yours? I haven' t done that in ages. How do you remedy it? You know, in the mornings it gets extremely loud as if it' s actually holding a hammer, banging away at head. I have 2 kinds of noises. Sometimes I swear I can literally touch them. The first noise comes from inside my left ear- it' s like a microphone has been dropped onto the floor or a train coming to screetching halt. The second is the one I feel I can literally scratch off with a pumice stone, I feel it on my left and right ears' cartilage- it is like a thousand metal spoons falling on top of each other. I t drives me insane. I can hear it now. It never stops. Not for a second.

  Mine is so much worse in the morning. I feel like I'm in an airplane with that pressure feeling and the air and wind in the tunnel to the plane. So If I have to get ready to go somewhere I get up a couple hours earlier so I have a chance of it gettting to a lower volume before I have to leave the house. The worse attack I had lately was on a 12 hr drive to Detroit and back to WV for my throat shot. It never gave me a break over the 12 hrs. It has gotten much worse than the last time I went to Detroit and I go about every 5 months. My poor husband had to listen to me all the way to Detroit and back...I actually felt sorry for him and tried to not bring it up anymore often than I had to..

  If I was you kasandra I wouldn't want to get out of bed! I bet it's tempting. There must be a clue there to your T if a doctor would just take the time to listen. Maybe it will disappear all the way one of these days. We can always hope and pray. It is just about all we have.

  God Bless you all. I am so sorry. Mine started about a year ago when my dr changed my BP medicine and my diauretic. It was bearable ...at night a fan and tv masked it, and during the day I didn't notice it. Just this week I am noticing it during the day. I started reading everything I could about it, and I have an ipod that i loaded environmental sounds onto. I have been walking around with earbuds in listening to the rain and the ocean. It sure has given me some relief!

for people of all ages who suffer from tinnitus.
