LOL! we all never knew how blissful silence was before this!!! glad to hear you're doing much better! yeah,I'm at that point too. it's always with me, but when it acts up or I hear it more, i don't panic or get stressed anymore. it's like "whatever" and just keep on doing what i was doing.

yeah,it was a sucky time. but that's life,you know. LOL! amazed i didn't get T. then!!

as I am also a newer suffer of T., perhaps i can offer some insight? I'm almost 2 months into my T. just literally showed up one night out of the blue. went to sleep fine,woke up an hour later with it. I have had allergy problems most of my life,and chronic sinus issues for the last 16 years ...

stress can cause MASSIVE amounts of changes in one's body - from hair falling out, to T. , to blood pressure problems, to eyesite problems, to tooth problems (grinding your teeth), to muscle and bone pain, to nausea and stomach problems, to lightheadedness or diziness, to urinary and bowel...

shit happens. seriously. there will be things that happen to spike your T. level up. all T. sufferers deal with it. sometimes it just happens for no reason. guess my point is,don't worry about it. it will go down again eventually,it did before. we've ALL done something we shouldn't have ,that...

getting warmer here...sunny day with blue skies all day today! went and had myself a rack of babyback ribs,fries,and some beer for dinner Sunday night...salt,alcohol,aand sugar be damned! I don't care anymore! if it acts up fine,if not,great! but I'm going to enjoy eating and drinking the things...

also want to say what a great,positive thing this forum is,and how much it has helped me. when you're going through something, you always feel alone. especially if there's no one around you who has gone through or is going through the same thing. so to know that I'm NOT alone, that not only is...

as I've said before - I have no choice I have to just deal with it and go about my life,which is really a good thing because I don't have the option to stop my life,so therefore I won't because of the T. LOL! just drank a Dr. Pepper. probably shouldn't have done that. but,again,wasn't thinking...

Got my kid's Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Champion shirt in today...it hurt me quite a bit to have to order it - I'm a diehard, Terrible Towel-waving, gold and black-blood pumping Steelers fan. but to see his smile was worth it,especially on a spike day like today!

good to hear you're getting back in the swing of things! you've already won an important battle - you told your T. to basically go screw off!

haven't been on in a while! not that I don't like talking to you guys and gals ,but I've just been "getting on with my life" as it were. sometimes talking about your T. TOO much can make it worse,you know? anyway,still working towards habituation. generally no problems sleeping,but I still use...

I get that feeling too. actually have it right now,LOL! the T. does seem to spike up more,or at least seem more noticeable when my ears are fuller. don't know if it's louder because of the pressure feeling/pain, or if the pressure /pain just make me notice my ears,and therefore my T. ?

sorry to hear that. I've discovered,just through work,music, and stuff getting banged around or dropped loudly ( I do have a kid,LOL!) that none of it has made my T. better or worse.

every day,it stays brighter out longer. today it wasn't dark til after 6:00 PM.... summer's coming!

sat down and watched Gravity with my son today - he absolutely INSISTED we buy it last night great movie, really exciting and edge of your seat stuff, and sitting there I forgot
