Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 I was raised to be respectful too, but being walked all over by people that take advantage of that, is a whole different ball game! I'll be nice to them as long as they don't think they're gonna walk all over me and take advantage of me. I'll only let it go so far before my fangs come out and the horns pop up and I let 'em have it!! Rhonda Re: my latest doc visit > > > We're not going to go back to him.

You are right, but my " respect " was taught as " you don't say anything back to them at all, that's not right " . It's taken me a long time to get over that and I get better all of the time. I feel proud of myself that I at least did challenge him on why he had to keep picking on me for crying. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, what he was saying was, that there is a trigger point directly in front of your ears. I think it's right where your jaw bone ends. So he was saying that because this point hurt, I was having the symptoms of tinnitus and also pain in my ear (it feels like it's inside my head when it hits). In other words, if this point hadn't hurt, I wouldn't be sensitive to sounds, have tinnitus or other ear pain. He totally disagreed with me that the tinnitus was from damage done to my hearing while I was in the Navy. It *had* to be coming from this point. Hope this is a little clearer.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 I think it was extremely disrespectful of that doctor to do what he did to you. Doctors take an oath to heal people, not belittle them and make them cry. But, the oath also say's that they aren't supposed to charge for their services either! lol Yea, like that'll ever happen! Rhonda It just ticked me off that the " doctor " did that to you.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Darcy, I think that he is totally wrong. I have tinnitus and am a tinnitus support person. I think that you are right when you say that the tinnitus comes from the damage done while you were in the Navy. I think that you need a new doctor for sure if he has such a small thing so wrong. I have tinnitus and although mine came from a medication that I took but I have a lot of people that has noise damage from the services. Take care, Irene << He totally disagreed with me that the tinnitus was from damage done to my hearing while I was in the Navy. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's wrong that my extra 20 lbs. is the cause of my snoring as well. My allergies cause my sinuses and nose to swell closed at night. I frequently breath through my mouth and my mouth gets extremely dried out (much more than it use to under the same conditions). Despite making my bedroom as allergen free as possible and taking medication, I wake up almost every night in pain in the spring and fall (when no air circulates around the house) from my allergies. Yes, I've been to an allergist, but when you are allergic to large amounts of everything, it's difficult to do anything about. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 Darcy, have you ever tried the Breathe Right nasal strips. you know, the kind the football players wear? LOL I MUST use them at night or my nose just swells completely closed. Works like a charm...plus no additional meds!!! Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 My snoring comes from having to wear a night guard to keep me from grinding my teeth at night. It keeps my mouth open and hence the snores come. My husband is trying to sleep in our bed again after getting out of the hospital.. He has insomnia badly and has been sleeping on the couch with the television on. I think that the noise is what he got used to while in the hospital and is having a hard time learning to sleep in the quiet. He snores big time.
