    Sophrology

    @goodmorning : sorry to give you my home-remedies so late, but I don't visit TT very often now. My recipes : - sleep, regular hours, if not possible I give myself a shot of Lorazepam (40-50mg) - swimming, scubadiving (no eardrum problem, just noise induced T) : can't hear it underwater...

    For a time at the beginning I have said I would prefer cancer or leg amputation over T. Even a gun could have made the job. It was time to shut it up. It seems to be the muscles which make your ear moving (I can do it, funny for kids), I know suturing. Plus my daughter is at med school. My ear...

    I'm still under anti-epilepsy drug : lamotrigine which is a mood moderator and anti-depressant. I'm keeping busy, making sports, listening to Metal (at a very very reasonable level: high frequency guitars relieve me), and sometimes, I can even make a nap (with T coming back afterwhile).

    It did spread on the other ear the first 2 months, but much lower and sounding like a fridge compressor. And gone. The first Trobalt intake acted like a T "succion" which made it instantly disappear. Afterwhile, the side effects were really scarring, and I became tolerant: Trobalt then made me...

    T is apparently not just a sound. My ENT tried Lidocaïne local infusion whitout success.No one can explain so far. I learned not to complain (Typical answer: "some kids die from cancer you know it's far worse than your condition bla bla"). So paracetamol/diclofenac ointment/massage... One day...

    Unfortunately I don't get the habituation concept. When T is at 4 (less and less however, and a hummm) I feel physical pain, so my tolerance has not decreased: migraine/eye pain/head skin pain/tiny muscle pain behind the ear hard as wood and rolling under my finger, on my T side, the left one...

    Hi Bill! Thanks for taking news. Well, T is now fluctuating during the day. Pretty much boring at wake up, quite gone in the evening or sooner. I would give it a mean of 2 over 10, from 0 to 4 under stressful conditions/lack of sleep/hangover.

    (Another) Almost Successful Prazepam/Lysanxia Withdrawal

    I was on 30 mg a day, 10-20mg Prazepam equals 10mg Diazepam (cf. equivalence table) - please correct me if I'm wrong - and both have more or less the same half-life (time required to eliminate half of the dose). The trap is that there are few side effects until withdrawal where your condition...

    (Another) Almost Successful Prazepam/Lysanxia Withdrawal

    Hi! Some news from South of France. I don't come a lot anymore on Tinnitus Talk, things I experience are on a long-term path. I do accept this, now. Wow. 4 years and a half since my car airbag blasted and left me with a noise trauma: an eeeee so loud I would have killed myself. It fortunately...

    Starting 5th Year — Still Alive (but Not Kicking)

    @New Guy : I moved from suicide attempts to resignation in 4 years... 25 to 30 years left unless fatal disease (cancer etc.) and hoping for a T relief drug in the time lapse (na****m *****b*rbi**l = emergency exit door). @RicoS : fortunately my children are students now, living in Switzerland...

    Starting 5th Year — Still Alive (but Not Kicking)

    Thanks for your replies. Yes living in France. Masking devices did nothing except annoyance , listening to crickets or waterfalls all day long is simply unbearable to me. I'm not talking about my T around me anymore , It's simply worthless, T = pain in the ear = consult an ENT... :mad::mad::mad...
