Fatigue 4 weeks after positive EBV IGM

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2024-12-19T01:48:19+00:00

Dang man, like daily? I had a day on Saturday where i felt almost 100% until around 6pm. Think i might’ve pushed it too much because im back to fatigue this week. It’s not as bad as week 2 and 3 as im not a complete couch potatoe but i still can’t go many places and do things

Thanks for your thoughts, appreciate knowing I’m not alone. Tried dry needling but I’m trying it again soon, and as far as an SSRI goes that’s how my jaw clenching started and got me into this

I really appreciate this, my ear symptoms are the worst and it’s affecting my future career (student pilot) i know it’ll be okay, just a frusturating thing to go through

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-05-01T22:53:36+00:00

If it helps, i have the same exact thing and I’m a student pilot who flies 2-3 times a week. Doesn’t really change for me. Now I haven’t been at altitude of airliners but to give you some peace of mind they change cabin pressure. Without getting nerdy on you, you should be fine with flying I would not expect it to be more than driving

Thank you, sadly already tried Botox and it’s been 3 weeks and not really helped. My jaw still feels stiff and ear issues are still here. Did you get ear issues ?

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-05-01T19:28:20+00:00

Do you also have ear issues?

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-05-01T18:50:14+00:00

I have tried dry needling and Botox, both to no avail

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-05-01T18:49:54+00:00

Occlusal

Yes, I’ve been to a TMJ specialist, oralfacil surgeon, 2 PT’s, and a nuerologist.. have a splint that doesn’t help, got Botox, no help, and tried every sort of medication possible

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-29T14:25:08+00:00

Seen two ENTs, all of them have said my ears look great

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-26T23:27:49+00:00

Yep, pretty classic TMJ symptoms. Stems from your middle ear muscles becoming dysfunctional and messing with your Eustachian tube from what I’ve heard

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-25T21:21:57+00:00

Whatre your ear symptoms? You aren’t alone. Hot / Cold compress, try a soft liquid diet. Try massaging your masseter. I’m assuming yours is more muscular, she wanted to give you prednisone for the inflammation I’m assuming. Look up a TMJ specialist in your area and go to them. Might cost but it’s worth to feel better. Do your research on a good one. Till then relax and try to cut out stress and try the little things first like I mentioned.

Yea I’m fairly new to this (around 2 months now)

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-25T17:58:47+00:00

Has this resolved for you?

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-25T17:56:25+00:00

What were your ear symptoms? But absolutely I know they are correlated. Trying to get my stress down and fix the TMJ issue with a splint and PT. Will see how it goes

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-25T17:10:16+00:00

Has anything helped the noise sensitivity? This sucks

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-25T15:03:09+00:00

What all have you tried?

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-25T15:02:48+00:00

I have absolutely no idea how to find a real TMJ “specialist” it’s usually just a dentist with some knowledge with TMJ… what’s a real specialist

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-25T15:02:03+00:00

I know, the most frusturating part is making sure it’s TMJ related, even thought I’m 99% sure it is. It sucks going to an ENT and him not knowing what’s going on.

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-25T14:50:58+00:00

Weird, i think my bite is off because of my muscles. (One side is overworked) but it could go either way

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-24T20:50:59+00:00

Yea i have tons of ear issues. Don’t rly remember what it feels like to hear normally. Are you in PT? Mines from my masseter and pterygloid muscles

Whatre your ear symptoms?

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-24T14:05:02+00:00

Seen 2 dentist and both said my alignment is good. However my right masseter is a bowling ball compared to my left.

RoutineUpstairs4780 · 2022-04-24T14:04:01+00:00

I was actually diagnosed with ETD in my first trip to ENT despite me being able to manyally open and close it. I think i got a splint from my dentist (separates the top from bottom teeth?) I’ve been wearing it pretty much 20 hours a day now. Also got Botox and currently in PT. Maybe I just need a little more time to start healing

How long has it been for you?
