It has been just over a month since my symptoms appeared, and this has been the most difficult time of my life. In that time, and because of this great difficulty, I have re-joined my sangha (Buddhist community) reconnected with my teacher there and have been meditating again almost every day...

Hey Mark... I wanted you to know that, thanks to you, I've been in touch with the guys from Nebraska Hearing Instruments. I gave them a call and they couldn't have been nicer and more willing to help. In fact, Ed called me back from the road, where he was out making house calls. I mentioned your...

Thanks Ned. It is indeed heartening to hear a story like yours. It gives us hope, and I'm sincerely happy that you were able to put your experience behind you. It is rare, but can and does happen. I had a pretty good day today, and a good night's sleep last night. Now, though, it's really...

Hey, I think I figured it out! Let me know if you get this. Hope I'm not being a pest. Best regards... Tommy

Thanks Jeff. I bet we're not the only ones to have had that same thought. I actually just got the MRI results and as expected, all clean. Except for some sinus issues that I'm going to talk to my ENT about tomorrow. He said over the phone he wants to give me an anti-inflamatory like Prednisone...

Hi... Thank you for your kind and supportive words. They are incredibly uplifting for me, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart. So happy to know that you are also a New Yorker (or at least living here now) and if not a fellow meditator/ practitioner, a fellow Pema fan at the very least...

Thank you so much. All your advice is incredibly helpful and encouraging. It absolutely breaks my heart to think of the suffering this condition causes so many people. The thought of someone vomiting from fear just makes you want to cry. And yet, your message to me proves that one can move from...

Thank you PTG, I really appreciate your suggestions. And yes, I'm making friends with it. Actually, I don't even see it as an outsider now, simply part of myself. Makes it much easier. After all, there are plenty of things about myself I'm not crazy about, this is just another one! And you're...

I see, got it. I shouldn't have been so cavalier about the idea of hoping for a tumor. Being in that situation, as you would know, is no joke. But I'm happy to hear you say "life is good". The t situation will improve, I bet. There is certainly excellent reason to be hopeful. By the way, can I...

Yes, thats what I thought! I'm doing that already on my own; never total silence, but never total masking either. On my way to getting used to it, I hope. But looking forward to getting my very own noise machine for sure!

Thank you my friend! Much appreciated...

Really sorry to hear what your'e going through, mg, but you know your'e not alone. Reach out anytime, I'll always respond. I'm new to this too, but whatever I can do. Peace, brother...

Believe me, I'm looking into them right now! Will call a doctor here in NY who prescribes them. That's great if you can't tell your wearing one, but at this point, I don't care if they look like bunny ears, I want them! But I guess the idea is to use them wisely, right? Not to cover all the...

Thanks Piper, your two cents is very valuable to me. That was another question I've had; is there any reason to not simply utilize ear buds with music to catch a break from symptoms? Is that considered dangerous, as in causing further damage, or should I feel free to start using them on a...

I'm thinking about figuring out a way to sleep in the shower! Things are super loud right now, I'm dreading the time when it comes to sleep. I missed the pharmacist today, so no Valium to help, and white noise machine I ordered doesn't arrive till tomorrow. Going to be a tough night, really...

Hello Christine.... thank you for making me feel so welcome. Yes, this helps so much. In fact your expert use of emoticons made me laugh out loud, and that as we all know is the best medicine! To be in touch with people from all over the planet who know what I'm talking about is therapy in...

Thank you James. As tough and awful as this is, I know it will bring out the best in me. But Lord, what a struggle. Sending you best wishes and deep gratitude...

Thank you so much Stelly. What a great thing to be told, "Time is your friend". And I feel time is not the only friend I now have to get through this. Cheers to you...

Thank you Mark. I'm just sitting here in my apartment in NYC, amazed at how kind people can be, to take the time to share their experience and wisdom with total strangers. Thank you, my friend, you don't know how much I appreciate it. Or maybe you do. Talk soon, I hope... TH

Thank you, here2help, from the bottom of my heart. Just reading the responses to my post, I'm feeling a sense of calm spreading through my body... even as it sounds like a jet is taxiing for take off between my temples. What you folks are doing here is making a difference. I cannot wait for the...

Thank you Carlo. I will take your advice and ask about that particular drug. I'm so moved that people have actually responded to my post. I think that one of the side effects of T is increased compassion.

Sherri.... Thank you so much for replying to my post. Incredibly encouraging to make contact with others who know. I can't thank you enough. I will keep coming back with updates. Bows of gratitude...

Hi everyone, I'm so happy to have found this forum. It's the first one of any kind I've ever joined- I'm not even on Facebook. But since these symptoms hit me over the last few weeks, I knew I had to reach out for help. I wasn't even sure that I'd get a hit when I googled "Tinnitus support...
