    Tinnitus from Ibuprofen... Is This Possible?

    As my post states, I'm seriously wondering whether it is possible that ibuprofen and acetaminophen use (Advil and Tylenol) could have caused my tinnitus. The week before it began I was experiencing severe back and neck pain (couldn't lie down or sleep) and was taking 400 mg ibuprofen and 500 mg...

    I'm Isolated and Alone. I've Thought About a Helper Dog.

    Carlos, I'm sorry you're going through this. This is an unfortunate thing for all of us. I would 100% recommend a dog. I got my dog as an emotional support animal, a suggestion from my psychiatrist 4 years ago. He's one of the best things that ever happened to me. It's unconditional love and...

I had been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety at work and back in December I developed terrible...
