Journal Entry for July 16, 2007 Mood
Monday, July 16, 2007

Well; Ive got what I know deep down, I really need: a CAT scan.

Soon the world will know if I had a brain all along! Seriously, I know I must do this even though Im scared silly of what may be found. Just waiting for the letter now.

The ENT doctor was surprisingly understanding and listened to what I had to say. Just to hear a medical person actually say what an awful condition tinnitus is, made me feel better after the rather robotic responses from my GP. The bad news is just a day after this appoinment, I started to get pains in my left ear similar to those in the right. I hope this is not a sign of the condition spreading or worsening. We shall see.

Still very panicky too, had an almighty panic attack the other night, I was nearly on the way to the hospital as it felt like my heart was going to jump out of my throat. Anyhow after a battle that lasted for an hour (longest attack ever) I was eventually OK. That was the worst one since my first one years ago.

So just back to limbo land really, I will of course keep my friends updated and I am still reading entries of other sufferers, even those that I do not communicate directly with. This site really has helped me along a little over the last few months. i hope this is so for you all.

Take care, talk soon, live life, in tune.
