Thanks for the reply, I appreciate all the advice. I have been keeping a journal. I'm giving the b5/b6 a month then I will try the Valtrex. I believe mine was caused by an ear infection in my right 11 years ago but I'm not sure why it developed in my left now. Yes I agree anxiety has alot to do with it. My gut says that's what triggered the left ear. So with that I started to take half of a .25mg of xanix in the morning, the other half in the afternoon and a whole at night so I can shutdown the noise. I have been on a strict low sodium now for 9 days, no caffeine for 11 days, no alcohol which I would only have on Friday & Saturday night 2 drinks at the most for 2 weeks already. And I'm doing alot of praying hoping that something will put this into remission for me. Thanks everyone for being on this forum, every little bit helps.
Mae, Too low of a sodium diet can make you dizzy too. I was told to evenly distribute your sodium intake thru out the day. So if you are on a 1500 mg diet to eat 500 each meal you can't save up your sodium and have one big salty meal.
I didn't realize that, I figured the natural sodium in vegetables I eat was good. I will start to add a little to my diet. Maybe a slice of toast will be good. I just want it all to stop, I am willing to give up anything to be okay. It scares me because I am a single mom whose husband died a year ago suddenly, heart attack at 53 and have a 14 year old who is terrified something will happen to me. So I'm just trying to get it all right.
It’s a battle Mae remember to keep positive develop a plan and stick to it. I made a list and slowly worked down through it paying careful attention to what people use, quantities, and how often they are used. Then slowly you will begin to understand and formulate what might be your triggers, never be afraid to ask questions. Inform yourself it’s the greatest weapon you have against this along with a positive mental attitude that you will beat it. Stay Strong.
Thank you Fisherman42. It is a battle, and one I don't want to lose. I will keep asking and hopefully oneday, there will be a cure.
