Glynis, I joined this group about a year ago. It was a very dark and painful time of my life. My goal in joining was to get a cure, but we know how that ends. One thing that gave me hope in those dark days was reading your cheery reply's to other posters, always signed 'love, Glynis'. That...

Seeing this made my evening! I am happy for you. Dan

I would try to find a different product. Perhaps one that does not have acetaminophen. Have you tried melatonin? Threefirefour is right that it seems like most everything has the possibility of aggravating/inducing T. Best wishes, Dan

You should do what you can to get your stress under control. Lord knows that is easier said than done, but that stress makes a terrible feedback loop for the T (at least it does for me). I find that exercise helps too. It gets my mind off the buzz in my head. You are not alone, we are...

I agree with you Bill. I have learned a lot here, like I will not have my ears EVER syringed, nor suctioned again. The earbuds are in the trash. I also wished I had known about the ototoxic OTC drugs I have used so cavalierly in the past. I have warned my children to not do like I have...

Good luck to you Curly!

I could not agree more. I love these forums, and they have truly helped me. But, some of the stories curl my hair, and it puts "could my T turn to THAT??" in my mind which is not healthy. I try to focus on the positive, love the success stories, and hopefully help someone if I can. Take...

Same here Chris. Some days I feel almost normal when I am caught up doing something. Silence is my enemy, and I dread waking up in the middle of the night. I did buy a white noise machine for sleeping, and when I do wake up in the night I force myself to focus on the machine instead of the...

Orlando Florida here too. Spend a lot of time in Richmond VA also, hence the Dan RVA.

How are you doing now? Well I hope. We all take a trip to the bottom of the t valley on occasion, and it seems like we can never get out. Hopefully you are back in the sunshine. Stay positive, Dan

It snowed in Richmond Virginia while I was there. I loved it! Had my wife take a picture of me shoveling snow, something I had not done since leaving Ohio for Orlando.

Hello all, Around November last year I fell and severely scrapped my knuckles. I had a large open wound that I dutifully put antibiotic ointment on for the best part of two weeks. The area was about the size of an American nickel coin. At the end of November, I realized that my tinnitus was...

I recommend reading Curly's thoughts on t: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/who-honestly-thinks-theyre-going-to-go-crazy-from-the-ringing.24697/#post-300909 This is not the end of your life. I think stress is overwhelming you now. Do not be afraid to reach out for medical help to get...

Thank you Curly for what you wrote. The fear of "going crazy" likes to lurk out there, but we can push it aside. I am glad you spoke up! Dan

Sorry you are having a rough time . When I feel really, really bad, I get outside and walk or run, anything to get the heart rate up and burn off some of my anxiety. Best wishes to you. Dan
