    I dearly hope you can rid yourself of the depression and anger too! 7 weeks ago I wasn't sure which way to turn. No one can really help. I never really had a case of the 'what ifs' so didn't feel angry at all. As mentioned, I still have moments and id love to get back to my pre T life, and Im...

    Ears and Throat Sore with Increase in Volume!

    Thanks Glynis, Yeah! I thought it may have been a virus. I'm just finishing up a course of Prednisone which I figured may have been counter productive - I seemed to get better then worse whilst on it. From tomorrow I am going to get of all meds and supplements and see how all goes.

Not so bad in the morning - Gets worse as the day wears on and I wear out! Asked the ENT about it - had no idea - which is about...

    Dentist Tomorrow. Any Hints?

    After spending 6 years in the Middle East I spent 2013 back in Australia and had forgotten how high the price of petrol was/is. Headed back to the Middle East in 2014 - still here- where with the price of fuel means you can drive anything ya want! Toyota must love this part of the world - Land...

    Tinnitus Is Getting Louder — Why?

    Yeh, mine is the same at the moment Jason and we are about the same time into this journey. I'm hearing it over most things most of the time, and the H that had joined it recently isn't great fun either. Getting a fair bit of pain at the moment. And always got a sore throats with it. Glenys' tip...

    Don't Lose Hope

    Thanks Kelsie. These are the stories that I wanna hear. Typically with T, my life has been turned on its end in the past 6 weeks and I spent a few days where I thought this was it - couldn't get out of bed, taking any meds to numb my senses, etc. But now I have to believe that it will get...

    Feeling Really Frustrated Right Now

    Hey Ludvik, I am going through the same. Thought I had it covered but then went out for dinner last night, started spiking and hasn't let up! Absolutely horrible day today. I've decided that at least for the next six months, I'm going to give my ears the best opportunity I can to recover. I owe...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Hey Bill, It was the London Tinnitus Clinic. They were terrific in such that they could well have got me there in a couple of weeks, taken a few thousand pounds and sent me on my way. But the person I spoke to was honest and informative - most of though she cared and I was on the phone to her...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Yeh! Lets hope the ear doctors can help! Wouldn't that just make what will be a great trip so, so much better! Life's priorities - I was just discussing this with some friends last night. They were asking me about a couple of big shows that I had booked for this month and next, and whether I...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    You will love Seoul Lex. I was offered a job there a couple of years ago - almost took it, but like living in the Middle East for now. The trip will Happen! And I'd be really interested to hear how the clinic shapes up.

    Good stuff Jason. Similar story here. I'm listening to music and podcasts in the mornings, and enjoying them again. I still listen to the T first thing in the morning, but have been getting some sleep thanks to a great little JBL bluetooth speaker which I keep under my pillows which plays that...

    Same here. Hearing is fine. Just need to give my ears a break for a while. Bloody hard though eh? You become 'painfully' aware of what a noisy world we inhabit. The roller coaster. Gotta enjoy those good days eh? Here's hoping for more of those. I went out for dinner with some mates tonight who...

    Thanks guys. Yeh! Spike started before the dentist. At home now doing some couch time, watching some brain dead TV - just what I need.

    Dentist Tomorrow. Any Hints?

    What a day! Serious spike this afternoon, accompanied by a headache, then off to the ENT for him to tell me what I already know. Indeed I was able to tell him a few things. Then to the dentist- a new one - nervous like never before - explained everything to him and he was terrific - did the...
