Adverse reaction to Asthalin/Wysolone/Prednisone.

Posted , 1 user is following.

I had been suffering from tinnitus and hyperacusis for the past 6 months. There were tonnes of faulty diagnoses. Doctors initially thought it was just phlegm accumulated in the eustachian tube for the first 2 months before it became really worse. My office had a 4khz alarm that just kept on making it worse and worse. None of the medicines worked and finally last month I just took some time off to a calm place for a week and it reduced a lot. Now I removed all medicines, had been doing yoga, playing flute, singing, swimming and playing tennis for the past 1 month and all of them help reduce ear pressure like feeling (especially when I take a deep breath or rotate my shoulders).

What I did find during this period was that my ears/nose reacts very adversely to wysolone/Prednisone/asthalin/seroflo. It causes a feeling of clicky/cloggy feeling in my ears. Like I keep hearing a clicking sound (like water dripping) whenver I swallow saliva for a few days after taking any of those steroids. When I stopped these medications the clicky symptoms were completely gone. Since then I refused to take those medicines which my doctor mother force administers me. During these two months she forced me asthalin once, and yesterday she forced me wysolone both of which returned the clicky feeling. It's been 12 hours since I took wysolone 10mg and the clicky feeling has not gone away yet. It also affects my abdomen.

One of the bigger reasons why it was hard for doctors to diagnose was because the symptoms were eccentric. Tinnitus changed in intensity from time to time, hyperacusis also changed, but there were a host of other symptoms which came and went from time to time and I can now attribute them to a host of medicines I took. Those symptoms include - a constant pressurized feeling in and loss of low frequency hearing my left ear for two months, clicky (water dripping sound in my ears) especially after a horn exposure, changes in sensitivity for sound (from being unable to bear a horn from 20 metres away to being able to bear it without earplugs within a couple of metres), varying tinnitus with varying frequency bands. Most of those got resolved in this last 1 month before I took wysolone which returned the clicky feeling and a feeling of nasal blockage.

    And about tests we took all tests - MRI, CT scan, VEMP,.. all were fine. I had taken audiogram atleast 8 times and everytime the result was different. The very last time I took, a month ago, my hearing was perfect (10db) till 8 khz (they didn't test above that and they didn't test below 1khz). Now I can safely say that my hearing has improved even much better especially in the lower frequencies in this last one month.
