    Scared, Anxious, Not Coping, ENT Not Listening

    I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a rough time with this. It seems like nobody can point to an ENT that was of any use to them. I just have your garden variety T and only for about a month now, but it has definitely made its impression on me. I can only imagine what you've been going...

    This Is My Nightmare

    So I saw an audiologist. He said my hearing was totally fine and saw nothing unusual in my ears. When I told him another doctor saw fluid in my left ear he seemed confident that that was the cause and that it would subside over time. I saw an acupuncturist too. She gave me some jujube pills...

    This Is My Nightmare

    I am not terribly active online. I have never posted anything on any website or forum. Not on news websites, hobby forums, nowhere. Never been to a self-help seminar, support group, nothing. I'm not that guy. But since this has been such a profoundly traumatic experience and I have been...
