I have been dealing with chairi for a year now. Mine hit me all of the sudden. I have every symptom you can think of. I take 3 amitriptyline ( 75 mg) and 6 gabapentin a total of 1800mg. I hear ringing and noise in my brain like how a noisy refrigerator sounds ( that's how I explain the noise 😅) it gets louder throughout the day and if I walk too much talk too much laugh, cry, angry or sad I literally feel it in my brain. I have to lay down a lot!!! I can't work anymore and house cleaning takes all day when before I could get it done fast. Before I could do that,clean the yard, give haircuts,fix my car and go to my mother's and do the same. My doctor has never seen the really bad episodes I was having and still do whatever I do too much tries to tell me I'm not that bad but yet puts me on meds. Its very fustrating! It's hard not to be depressed 😔 but I'm trying to be optimistic and trying to find a better doctor. Sorry I vented😅coffee really helps with the pain. I also drink soda a lot now cause the caffeine helps to get through the day.

I tried to get disability but they said no because I didn't make enough money for the quarter. I used to be a lab tech for magnetite but because of COVID I didn't work as much as I used to. I talked with the lady that was reviewing my case and I told her" so if you have a disability you can't get disability cause you didn't make enough money" she said" basically". Everything is about money. I'm going to appeal it let's see. What have you been doing to get through your day? Do you have to take medicine?
