Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Tinnitus isn't easy and there will be down times. Don't be too hard on yourself, because I believe you are strong enough to get through this rough patch. Take care.

@Michael Leigh Thanks for the words of encouragement :) But the head buzzing has destroyed me mentally. I'm nearing 11 months in and i hoped for some reduction like the first time around but i guess that's not gonna happen twice. I have lost the ability to relax and fall asleep with ease. Having a rubbish time of late, and unfortunately not a lot of people understand fully.

Thanks @Joe Cuber having a shit time of late with this monstrosity and its testing me. Been out today but i still can't shake the thought of it from my brain. Its something when you wish for your old T level lol. Enjoy your walk :)

People don't understand @Strawberryblonde. Have you spoken to your GP on the way you feel? When is your appointment at ENT?

I know what you mean about that feeling of slipping under. Was there about a year ago. Try and find one or two things that provide a sense of management. For me it was garden stuff and experimenting with various masking sounds for sleep. I understand what you're going through.

You're a gem @Strawberryblonde. So sorry you're going through this. I also wish I had my old T level back.

Super big hugs as always @Strawberryblonde. Hopefully you start feeling a little better soon! Maybe try something new to take you out of your norms.

@Michael Leigh ive spoke to my GP, was offered the usually antidepressants and CBT therapy which I am currently doing but I feel it's having no effect no matter how much energy I plow into it and I have to wait till June just to get an appointment with the NHS.

Thanks @UKBloke I do enjoy my gardening so I do that alot and keep myself occupied, still niggles at the back of my mind that the T is more than it used to be, which was near enough silence, it just kills me.

@tpj wishing you well :) it'd be a dream to have my old level back, is that too much to hope and wish for lol?
