I'm struggling so much, I'm a full time working mum and finding it so hard with ETD. I've been using mometasone for a year and find it helps a bit. My consultant could only recommend otovent and sinus rinse which i find makes it worse. I'm a very anxious person and get dizzy and panicky quickly when my ears feel really full. I don't feel like I can talk to anyone about it as no-one knows how I feel. I feel so lonely. does any one have any suggestions? Thank you

    Hello mel, Here's someone who really understands the problem as I'm a replica of yourself. I've been on this site for quite a long time now & to be honest not one person has an answer to the questions we ask. Nobody can understand the problem we have because they can't feel the pressure in our head & ears & our reaction to noise & in particular the way that film & television cameras pan so quickly. I've been on a couple of

    "mindfulness" courses & find they are as good as any prescribed medication.
