    Doing Well

    hello everyone, just figured I'd check in seeing as all my prior posts were quite grim. Life since getting T has been quite the ride. The first two weeks with T were absolutely horrible, so dreadful, I don't know how I did it but I did. I think once I realized this might be forever and there's...

    Anybody Got Good Results from Acupuncture or Other Alternative Treatments?

    @Jahhsoul not sure, I'll find out. He's not doing tinnitus points actually based on what he saw when he evaluated me he determined that my problem is coming from my liver and heart, so he is doing liver and heart points. He also stressed since I don't eat meat, malnutrition might be the cause of...

    I Don't Want to Live

    @Cheza i am a strong believer in Edward Bach and his teachings.. Read a few of his books including Heal thyself.. So I know about it. Like I said, I prefer any type of alternative medicine. I am not looking for a cure by any means more or less something that can possibly provide some relief.

    I Don't Want to Live

    Got referred by one of my professors who had lived with T for 10 years.. Tried halo and kst and swears that is what got rid of her T.. Willing to try anything, especially things straying from mainstream medicine as I am not a fan at all of our medical/pharmasuitical industry... Prefer to stick...

    Is There Hope?

    Is there any hope? I feel so lost since I've been diagnosed with tinnitus.. I don't know how to function proporly. I miss silence so much, I feel like I don't have the will to live with this forever.. Do these feelings last? Will they go away with time? So overwhelmed don't know how much I can take.

    Just Diagnosed with Tinnitus... Depressed

    @Sailboardman i did, they said my ears looked perfect. No hearing loss, no liquid in my middle ear, and no they did not. They basically told me there's nothing I can do, just learn to adapt to it, they said it is possible that it will go away, they just can't give Me anything to cure it

    Just Diagnosed with Tinnitus... Depressed

    Thank you for the reply! Means a lot to get positive feedback to give me the strength to work through this, they do not really know the cause and assume it is noise induced because I am not old and no one in my family has it. I do listen to loud music and go to concerts frequently so that's most...
