Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 Hi Sharon: Is the "thumping" like hearing your pulse? That happens quite frequently with me. I think it has something to do with the vestibular system or the auditory blood supply. When there is swelling going on, it can put pressure on the nerves and blood flow. It would probably be a good idea to see your ENT. Take care and know you go crazy in good company! LOL!! Hugs and smiles, Lierman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my rheumatologists, (one in Saudi, obe in California say I am probably one of the people who need to stay on a low maintenance dose. I have felt much better since I have stopped trying to give it up totally! If I flare at five I go up to ten; so far this hae been effective. I suggest you talk to your rheumy about it. Fortunately I don't get the thumping!!! You take care, love Liz > > Love, Sharon > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
