Sangye's Status

[DEE]

Sangye i have tinnitus and lost of hearing in my left ear hence hearing aid but have had very little ear problems other than an occasional ear infection and as you now have been on ctx for a long time DEEx

I had ringing in my ears since I was 15, I have always been on prescription medicine ...I agree with Sangye.

3 of the ENTs I have seen in the past have said that the Methotrexate I was taking could have easily caused some of my hearing loss or even all of it. I will ask my new ENT about this.

Phil, I lost my hearing and got tinnitus long before mtx, it was during low pred and 150 cyclo so I think that this is just part of wegs

[Sangye]

Ughhh, I have another splitting headache! This is the 3rd one in less than 2 weeks. I don't get headaches like this. I'm also really weak just doing ordinary things like vacuuming my tiny basement. I'm going to give it another couple of days, and if things don't turn around I'm going to email Dr Seo and ask for help again. Something is off.

Sangye, I do hope it is not a flare. You realy need some time off of this rollercoaster. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Sorry to hear that Sangye. When did you increase the prednisone?

[Sangye]

This is my 3rd day at 30 mg. The headache is the same exact kind I've been having even before I increased it. Each time it's lasted for over 24 hrs.

[elephant]

Oh man, that is too bad. Glad you will be emailing your doctor.

[Sangye]

Yeah, I don't think this is a sinus headache. I am having some post-nasal drip, but tapping my sinuses doesn't hurt. My eyes are bulging and are really painful. Neck is really stiff, too.
