    Stay Strong You Wonderful People...

    Thank you, pumpkin. I was just thinking something similar as I was logging on. Each morning I make a decision to be happy and to have a good day and to be nice to other people. I do not let my tinnitus or car problems or bills or other things influence who I will be or what my mood will be.

    Woke Up Today with an Ant Inside My Ear, Still Feels Weird.

    Maybe the ant had come in thru the other ear and traveled across....just kidding. Hehehe About 6 months ago a flea got in my ear during the night. It kept moving around. That was annoying! I tried putting water in my ear, thinking the flea would climb out or float out but that didn't work...

    I've Lost My Faith in Doctors Now

I think when they graduate from med school they have a sincere desire to help people....but then they find that the real world is so different than what they hoped to practice in. Many patients expect to receive some kind of magic pills that will...

    What Do You Hear? Can You Describe Your Tinnitus?

    Can't Take Much More — At My Wits' End

    Moderators: are you able to see Budgie's IP address or any other info he may have provided when he signed up? I think we need to somehow have someone check on him. I do hope he exchanged his email address or some other contact info with someone here. His last post is a cause for concern.
