Just got home from GP appointment. Had sudden hearing loss in one ear about 10 days ago. Now constant tinnitus - no let up.
Thought I'd possibly get antibiotics or maybe told it was a virus.
The GP rang the hospital and told ent sho that I was for 7 day pathway. Consultant told GP that if I don't hear from hospital in next 2 days I have to contact the hospital.
I was sent away with prescription for steroids - 12 a day. I had to make a round trip of 40 miles in rush hour traffic to get them as local pharmacies had closed.
I got home and vomited - I am literally sick with worry.
I haven't had earache, no glands up, no sore throat, no cold/flu. I feel fine apart from constant headache, tinnitus and loss of hearing.
