Well just as I was starting to believe my meds were helping me my popping/clicking started up in my r. (bad) ear again last night. They were triggered by my own voice and from the sound of running water. I have absolutely no clue why! I usually can associate some kind of trigger but I am at a loss.

I have doubled my Trileptal starting this morning. So far today I have not had any popping/clicking.

I hope it was just a fluke and things will get back on track. I'm wondering about chocolate but during my 2 month remission I know I ate chocolate so I find that hard to believe as the cause.

Sometimes I think it's when I talk alot or raise my voice in conversation when in a noisier environment like a restaurant.

Who knows?? I don't think I'll ever figure out what the cause is.

((((Karen)))) I am sorry. I can't imagine the frustration this must be causing you.
I hope its just an off day and not that i wish illness upon you, that its just triggered by a cold.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

You're in the back seat laying down
The windows wrap around
To sound of the travel and the engine
All you hear is time stand still in travel
and feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep

Thanks for the hug Lisa! It wound up I don't have a cold, think it was just the weather that day.

So far today no pops so now that I've doubled the Trileptal at both doses I'm hoping to continue pop-free!

Thanks always for your support.

Karen

P.S. I noticed on a list of drugs that CAUSE tinnitus that Trileptal is listed! I was quite surprised. Can't say that it has worsened since I've been on it though.
