I'm doing ok on Zoloft too. Took me a long time to start it because I was so worried it would increase my T but thankfully it hasn't made a difference to it

Nope, no steroids - only IV penicillin and doxycycline orally

I'm so glad you decided to go. Earplugs are your friend and I'm sure you will be fine.

So, this is a very strange question (and I hope it doesn't upset anyone) but in the last few days I've noticed at times my T has dropped in its volume - or at least my perceived volume of it. Not all the time, but sometimes I'm not noticing it which is unusual for me. 2 nights ago I woke and...

Anyone have any experience with these antibiotics? Looks like I'll be on them for about 2 weeks. Thanks!

One of mine would be don't give yourself a deadline to habituation. Reading all the success stories was great but then I'd compare my journey to theirs and wonder why I wasn't feeling better as quickly as theirs. No comparing!

Please don't stress. I had to have a general anesthetic about a year ago for some testing and it didn't made one ounce of difference to my T. I did a lot of research on the specific anestetics they would be using and had a good chat to the anesthetist and as predicted, no change after the...

I know ibuprofen is a bit of a no-no for us, but does anyone have any alternatives? I'm dealing with a bursitis flare up in both hips and in a bit of pain. Because it's inflamation, it's been suggested I use ibuprofen but am a bit worried about using it for a few days/weeks in a row ... Thanks :)

So, tell me all about your must haves/must do's when flying Thanks! :)

Thanks guys! @Sound Wave - I have heard that about noise cancelling headphones - I'm pretty sensitive to that sort of stuff so I'll try and avoid them. Prior to T I used the earbuds that came with my iphone but it's probably worth investing in some better quality ones. (And just for reference...

So, I've joined a gym ... A very quiet gym! And I'm dying to listen to come music while I work out, but obviously like everyone else here I'm paranoid about using headphones/earbuds. Now, while I never listen LOUDLY, I'm wondering if there are now products what help protect your hearing? Or...

Thank you both. My doctor is fully aware of my T and always prescribes accordingly. And @Dr. Nagler - ive screenshot red your answer for future reference. My doctor says exactly the same thing about those antibiotics. Perhaps I should trust him more ;) The upshot is that even after just 3...

Hi T family! Haven't been here in a long time because *touch wood* at the moment I'm doing ok and working hard to ignore my sounds. Still there as loud as ever, but I trying my best. My question is ... The antibiotic E-mycin is a big avoid for us with T, but for people without? My baby boy...

Hi @finlayargyle13, welcome :) I'm another with moderate/loud high pitched T, along with a low buzzing drone type of noise. @Karen & @Sailboardman have already given you some great tips, but I did want to mention the issue you have with hearing people if there is background noise. I have the...
