    I'm not sure what I believe in, probably nothing much anymore, to be honest. But thank you for caring enough to pray. I am trying to hang on for as long as I can.

    I come here daily for one reason. To check on Dr. Shore's device. Forgive me if I seem a little impatient.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    They have published one article about her research on their website and awarded her two grants, totaling approximately $100,000, out of over six million dollars donated to research over the past thirty-five years. So, yes, they know about her research and support it.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Tinnitus and hyperacusis are co-morbidities. Probably two sides of the same coin. My tinnitus and hyperacusis have always been in lockstep -- they always changed in tandem. It seems logical to me that if Dr. Shore's treatment improves my tinnitus, my hyperacusis will naturally improve as well...

    Myo-Inositol: The Placebo Effect Played a Trick on Me, Again

    Eighteen grams daily was the dose in a double-blind, controlled crossover trial that showed benefit for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. "Inositol significantly reduced scores of OCD symptoms compared with placebo." My OCD manifests as perfectionism with starting...

    Myo-Inositol: The Placebo Effect Played a Trick on Me, Again

    I can't tolerate pharmaceutical antidepressants. They typically cause me insomnia and restless legs. So I sought an alternative. One week ago Wednesday, I began taking a large dose of Myo-Inositol (15 grams+ daily, divided into 4 doses, added to food), to treat depression and...

    Rosa Canina, Urtica Dioica and Tanacetum Vulgare Herbal Combination in Treatment of Tinnitus

    Yes, based on the other thread here about several hyperacusis patients in Germany having success with Clomipramine. Those who could tolerate the side effects had their hyperacusis go into remission. I took that one 20 mg capsule one night at bedtime. It hurt all over my body all night long and...

    Rosa Canina, Urtica Dioica and Tanacetum Vulgare Herbal Combination in Treatment of Tinnitus

    After drinking down my first cup (tastes like grass), I read: "Tansy is UNSAFE when taken by mouth. It contains a poisonous chemical called thujone. People have died after taking as little as 10 drops of tansy oil. Deaths have also been reported from prepared tansy teas or powdered forms...

    Now I am happy to say that I am out of the diabetic range, with my A1c level dropped from a high of 7.1 down to its current 5.4. Aside from the odd bad day (usually caused by a T-spike), I feel like my depression is still in remission. Still vegan, still working out, still taking LDN nightly...

    Rosa Canina, Urtica Dioica and Tanacetum Vulgare Herbal Combination in Treatment of Tinnitus

    I have ordered bags of the three plant-based ingredients and a ball infuser from Amazon. I'll report back here in three months (or before then if there is any change in my condition). I have chosen to infuse them in a tea because of this: "Liquid extracts, including herbal teas, have faster...

    Everybody is terrible at meditation, including me. :-) I just decided to do it anyway because it helps me. I used to judge myself for not doing it right. Now I don't worry about it.

    Transcendental Meditation, sorry. When I was able to get some sleep again, I started meditating again, and that helped everything, including the tinnitus. Even with my tinnitus and hyperacusis more severe than they were fifteen years ago, I still practice TM daily. Nothing takes the edge off...

    I used Neuromonics daily for 2 years, and yes, I did sort of habituate. I also became dependent on 12.5 mg of doxylamine nightly for sleep, and I sometimes wonder if it was Neuromonics or TM that actually helped me. I've practiced TM since 1986.

    Well, at the time I was experiencing near-total insomnia, anxiety and depression, and just the idea that I was getting treated by the professionals at Callier Center helped rein in the feeling of hopelessness.
