I have had consto for about a year now. Had every test in the book,
including ct scans, bone scans, colonoscopy, mri,
multiple x-rays, etc. It comes and goes. Seems like it gets worse if I
aggravate it by exercise, coughing a lot and sneezing is not fun.
At times the pain is mild and other times it feels like I have a knife in my
left side. Then other times I have an unexplained period of no pain.
Weirdest thing I have ever experienced. Scared me at first. I knew it was
not normal. Now because I have taken so much pain meds and
anti-inflamatories, I have tinnitus( ear ringing) which now will not go away
even when I stop taking meds. I can relate to how you feel. I get tired of
it all too. But I try to think that I could be worse. So I have learned to
count my blessings. I admit I do go through periods of depression especially
with this ear ringing since I am deaf in one ear and a musician. That scares
me too. But I am learning to take things day by day and trust God to take
care of me.
I understand what you are saying.

A friend of mine started with her ears ringing & dizziness. She had other
lupoid symptoms but was eventually dx'd with Menier's. It's also an
autoimmune disorder & she's sometimes wheelchair-bound because of it. VERY
difficult to diagnose.
