Has anyone noted this anagram, i.e., rearrange the same letters to form another word: L I S T E N = S I L E N T Cool, huh! Is such relevant when applying IWLM's BTS methodology? "I hear it, but I feel..."

@Dodo, I'd like to hear more about your progress too. Thanks

@Karen, Thanks so much! I really appreciate your rapid reply.

Hello @Karen, Significant spike in bilateral T last night sometime between 2:30 & 4:30 AM. Could you please list the supplements [and amount / frequency] that you believe may have helped you the most? And, any other procedures you've found helpful for you. Thanks, MCK Trader

@xmierce, I was taking clonidine 0.1 mg 2 X day [sometimes now 3 X for really high blood pressure] both before and after T began for me -- still do presently. Since March 2015, I've been prescribed another HBP med to accompany clonidine -- a beta blocker -- bisoprolol 5mg 1 X day. Neither HBP...

@Evian, During last March [2015], I had several bags of amoxicillin via intravenous drip during a 3 day hospital stay, and have taken about 30 capsules this past month while at home. Neither time has amoxicillin increased nor decreased my constant T for me. YMMV! Hoe this helps. MCK TRader

@labrat10687, Appreciate your descriptions and updates about your experiences thus far with vagus nerve stimulation for T. I had an appointment with Dr Shawna Jackson at The Callier Center in Dallas last Oct0ber regarding my T. She explained to me that she had been a part of the 'original'...

Howdy, I'm presently taking 0.1 mg tab of clonodine oral-- 1 tab in AM and 1 tab in PM to regulate high blood pressure, but blood pressure will no longer decrease as it once did before T. Does anyone have awareness of a high blood medication that doesn't increase [either perception or actual...

Howdy Dr Nagler, Considering your extensive tinnitus experiences -- what would you state as being the foremost obstacles [maybe top 5 areas] to overcome in order to achieve tinnitus habituation, whether working with a qualified clinician or DIY? Suggestions as to 'how to' accomplish such might...

Howdy everyone, Perhaps not entirely off thread [still new to forum] -- I agree that a restful night of sleep usually calms T. But, what do forum members often use to obtain frequent nights of restful sleep? MCK Trader

@MariaH ; @nills Howdy, With often severely intrusive T -- what thoughts held in mind, state of mind, mind protocol should I use to achieve a decent amount of restful sleep with "big" T? Some nights without some kind of sleep medication, I do not sleep at all. More than two consecutive...

@ caffclifton -- Howdy, I'm new to this forum. Any tips how you habituated so quickly? Was it entirely passive without any type of intervention protocol...like TRT, CBT, etc.? Or just your attitude perhaps? Any sleep meds ever used? Thanks MCK Trader
