Yeah I miss the optimism even during the bad times. It was always there. I feel you. I try to take comfort in the fact that there are people that live decent lives despite really bad T. And of course, Susan Short and other potential treatments in the coming decades if I make it that far:/

@Chk2.023 whether it was a sprain leg, eye scratch, bad headache, flu sickness, or whatever. Hope was always around the corner. i miss the feeling of being recovered and feeling brand new. i used to get bad headaches n i miss having so much pain in my head poppin a pill and then waking up with NO headache and feeling like i won the lottery.
I know right, when I was a child I always thought... you get sick, you get better. Now that I've grown up I've learned the hard way that you don't always get better. All you can do is have a good attitude which is extremely difficult when you don't have a naturally happy disposition. Now I'm just thankful I don't have something even worse like a crippling autoimmune condition like my cousin has

as a 10 year veteran my opinion the having a decent life is kinda iffy, cause the threat is always there. ill say its more day by day, because of tinnitus unpredictable nature. your always on thin ice. there was a guy on here who had it since 2007, i think he vaped or something in late 2019, it got catastrophic by 2020. hes no longer here.
