  • Everyone I know offline with T deals with it just fine and yet I'm still very miserable. I should be better by now. Wth is wrong with me.
    Got back to the city. I miss my earbuds and very strongly dislike my loud neighbours.
    Yesterday I almost felt normal, now back at the "don't see how to live with this" stage. Never gonna get better.
    Right now the overwhelming, numbing, constant fear that it can worsen is worse than the actual level of my tinnitus.
    Woke up to loud ringing, managed to get back to sleep, woke up again, 2 hours near silence, now back to normal. Everything is so strange.
    Apparently my only problem is that I'm not positive enough and by that I caused the tinnitus to myself...
    Caved in, took some ibuprofen during the night, because paracetamol did nothing for the 4-day-headache. No spike yet.
    Awful day today. I still don't see any way to live a semi-normal life with T. Even if mine is probably not nearly as bad as some of yours.
    Started taking Milgamma, Gingko, Zink. Don't expect much, so surprise me, T! (Positively.) At least I hope they'll boost my immune system.

    Update: don't know if the vitamins or the extremely quiet life due to lockdown is the cause, but my older UHFsound got quieter. At the same time, the other one got louder.
    I should really just accept that I will never get my old life back, which I hated. The irony...
    New(ish) sound is like a cuckoo clock and whooshing. Awfully hard to habituate with additional sounds appearing out of nowhere.
    My sibling lives in Milan, my family doesn't take COVID serious enough and T is worse after a better day with no reason. 2020 sucks.
    New(ish) sound annoys the heck out of me. It's been present for about 2 weeks, but jut reached my tolerance threshold. Go away, please.
    Lost the only good side effect of tinnitus, the lack of headaches. I'm too afraid to take painkillers.
    My boring sleeping saga: today I slept 5,5 hours, without meds, only waking up once. Doesn't expect to last, but I feel a tiny bit better.

    That's a start, it will continue to improve

    Your sleep should improve. Try to maintain good sleep hygiene doing this period.
    Another sleepless night. When does it get better?
    Kriszti
    I'm sorry, Bill, I didn't notice your comment.
    My T still fluctuates a lot. So one day it's a bit better, then it's worse. All in all, I'm glad that I have better days. And last week I had days when it felt like the sound softened a bit. Not yet in the hiss phase though. In the meantime, I developed a "water-rumbling-in-the-radiator" kind of sound too, but it's much less annoying than my main, screaching sound.

    I did an audiogram on Tuesday, which showed a quite big ABG, so that made my anxiety go through the roof, so T is worse again...

    It's good that it isn't relentlessly at the same level. What matters is the monthly trend and the global lows. So any time it is softer than it has ever been is cause to be more optimistic.
    No sleep today again. Does it ever get better?

    @jimH Can I ask you which AD you took? Still having very, very poor sleep. Very sparingly I take 0,25-0,5 Frontin (Xanax), but it does nothing. OK, quitens down my T for a couple of hours, but doesn't help with sleeping.

    I used Effexor. I later found out that some members had very bad experiences with it. Just use the forum "search" and read some of the posts.
    Therefore, I would suggest that you DO NOT take it. I was lucky being that it did not affect my T.
    Kriszti
    Thank you. It seems that for every good experience with anything there are tons of bad ones.
    NYE is harder than Christmas. Worst year of my life so far. 2020, be kind please.

    Happy NY and may we all have peace of mind again! x

    And 2020 kindly said: fuck you and all of your hopes.
    Definitely jinxed it. Shrillness and pitch is awful again. So very hard to coexist with the noise. No sleep again.
    Kriszti
    That's basically what I cannot deal with. It's awful now and it's moderate at max, fluctuating between mild and moderate. But if it gets louder...

    I would say mine is moderate at best but probably it's severe. But I'm sure it can get worse.

    So sorry, I hope you get some sleep tonight.
    After accidentally cracking my neck yesterday evening, I had total silence. It's back, but quieter. May be bc of the Xanax I took to sleep.
    Kriszti
    Spoke to soon. Volume is up again.

    I've experienced this numerous times
    Still not sleeping. I just want to sleep without waking up in every freaking half hour. Don't know how to survive on 3 hours of sleep.
