Hey @Danny 1 Welcome, glad you signed up. This web site gave me support. Lots of smart, kind, and supportive people and all the posts. I agree, T it is horrible. Wish I had something better to say, there seems to be better days than others. Got to get my own health together and get to the...

Hey @AmandaKate I have a thyroid issue. I take synthroid. I took Amitriptyline. I also have p - tinnitus. I'm older. I took some tests. I have a team of doctors. T is not the only issue I have. Now I'm taking a GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) class at my HMO, its helping me understand other...

Hi @Connie It sounds like your doing great. Imo, something like this takes quite a while to adjust. I like your positive attitude which seems to be helping you cope already. Just wanted to reply, Welcome!

Hope you get some sleep @Believin' Steven Work with your doctors to find the right medications.

Thanks @william adams That is an informative post for me. I spent time hunting too. Loud something or other in my life. Those hearing aids may be in my future. I'm glad it seems to help you. T going for a 8 to 2 sounds great.

I have a few pill trays I use each day, blood pressure, thyroid, etc. After a while, I wish I never took any meds. But maybe we all have issues in life. I started a general Anxiety class at my HMO. I think I'll learn something and hope to become happier in life. How to reduce anxiety in my life.

Hi @Amyw1997 You’re doing right. Get to those doctors, asap. I think I have a whole team of doctors on my side. I go to one doctor, they send me to another. Seriously, they do help me. And I really hope they help you. Sleep, a big issue. I've read other forum posts about being dizzy, vertigo...

Hey @Cah I hope you don't take the journey of tinnitus. Take extra good care of yourself now. I hope you doctor can help. Welcome.

Amitriptyline - It was 20mg/night for me prescribed. Perhaps it's a classic treatment for Tinnitus. I think its been around awhile. It seemed to move me forward in life. Sleeping was my issue. I'm not sure it was the best pick for that. When I switched meds I had a bad night of withdrawal symptoms.

Hey @Mark P How's your blood pressure? Yes, the heartbeat pulsing is quite annoying. I would defiantly see the doctor. I'm going to the doctor myself. I''m no expert. I can't match the knowledge, kindness, or general compassion others show on the forum. I like to read the stories. When I read...

Hi @Hadassah I like what you said. I agree, it is madding. My also screams! People that don't go thru this, I’m not sure they understand how bad T can be. Anyway I was accused of negative thinking lately in my personal relationships along with a period of high anxiety. Yes, I'm going to the...

I was having a couple of real bad days. Fight with the wife, divorce?, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat. My Parkinson's and Tinnitus acting up, at the same time. Guy at the grocery store asked me, how ya doing? I said it could be better. He said it could be worse. That made me feel better. Couple...

Hang in there @Chris Nap Good to see you join the forum. When I first got pulsatile tinnitus, I was glad for this forum, still am. People here can relate. I have the heartbeat pulsatile tinnitus too. Like you say freaking out. I hope you can find a way to cope. A good night's sleep rested me...

Hey @Greg Miller Sorry to read that you have this affliction. Damn Tinnitus. I have good days and bad. I don't try to strain any thing. I went the runaround with my doctors, still got it. I don't have answers. Let us know if you find something that works.

I think you can smoke,,,a little. The benefit being, it might make you forget your tinnitus. Let yourself get distracted by your life and your interests. And the more you focus on your interests, you can do things. Everyday we all move forward in life. Some people like to have a glass of wine...
