Im at my wits end with this shit. I have tinnitus , ear pressure , eustachian tube dysfunction, tmjd , burning and numbness in my face and lips for 4 years and my recent ent told me to ignore it ? Treat it how my brain treats me feet in my shoes when I walk by ignoring the feeling. I nearly told her to fuck off. My previous consultant said its from tmj. I wear mouth guards to sleep i tried botox ive tried accupuncture ive tried massage but massage makes me tighter as i have fribo. Im autistic but even without that extra sensory distress this is distressing. My therapist tells me to join book clubs when I tell her im s.icidal.... helpful. I cant cope. Even paracetamol makes the tinnitus louder its very reactive so sound makes it louder heck even the hearing test I had last week has made it louder. I did tmj botox 5 weeks ago MADE IT WORSE. Seriously. I dont know if im considering mental hralth medication because I can't live this way its going to kill me.

I made a post a few weeks ago after having tmj botox to help tmjnrelated ear symtpoms such as ear pain, constant tinnitus , ear pressure smd hearing changes. It ended up making things worse which I posted about. I am deaf in my right ear have been since a small child so I've never really known any different . But because I rely heavily on my left ear the pressure and tinnitus doesnt help. The hearing test has spiked my tonnitus and ear pressure. I assume its rhe loud noises and the placement of the bone conduction test has put pressure on my tmj. I cant go on like this I had a meltdown last night and s.ideation. this has been ongoing for 3 5 years and its what actually lead to my autism diognosis. Sensory is a hugeeeee trigger for me. And having this constantly is torture . I guess im looking for advice on how to help my nervous system because I keep getting bursts of adrenaline and panic and its waking me from sleep too. I have a fan on constantly I have a projector light weighted blanket ect I just dunno how I can rest and recover from burnout when I can never truly rest because of the shitty ear symptoms. My mental health is shot im miserable.

Has anyone's tinnitus snd ear pressure worsened after botox? Did it return back as it wore off?
