I feel the same about my Moderna vaccine.

That pains me to hear. Your story of success with TRT was the last thing I was holding on to.

Folks, I am going to be honest with you. I want to die. I want to commit suicide. I have reached the end of my physical therapy work with my doctor, and unsurprisingly it did not cure my tinnitus. In a week of 7 days I have 3-4 days of "good" where its low to non-existent. I have 2 not great...

Thanks Michael. Means a lot.

Hey Michael, I just wanted to follow up with you. I had about two weeks where my tinnitus was at a very low level, and during that I was not caring so much about it and I was sleeping like a baby. Now I feel like I’m back to the beginning. It’s a louder tone one day, and then silent the next...

@Michelle T, sorry to hear you aren't finding the answers you seek! The good news is you are still out gigging, and you can still live your life. <3 <3 Sending love.

Hey folks! I had my second physical therapy (PT) session on 6/2. He adjusted my neck a little bit more. Since that day I haven't had a bad day (where the tinnitus is really invasive). I have had days where it's annoying/irritating. But I no longer have any extreme tinnitus days. And often I...

And right back to "barely there" today. I think doing my chin ups flared up my neck yesterday. ‍

After about five days of really light to non-existant tinnitus, it's noisy again today. Feeling sad and hopeless. Letting it be for now. I have to remember healing isn’t linear.

Happy to report that the last three days I’ve basically had a 90% tinnitus reduction. And the last four out of five days I’ve been able to sleep and enjoy my wife, music and all that stuff. The physical therapy has really been helping with posture correction. As well as my night guard. It...

I have now enjoyed a full day so far without a trace of tinnitus.

I went to bed last night and my tinnitus was really noisy. Then I woke up this morning to complete silence. Maybe my posture correction is beginning to help. Who knows.

Just wanted to report that despite my tinnitus being a little bit louder than the last couple days, I managed to actually go to work today and get stuff done. My wife is at work today and I didn’t freak out today that I would need her. So as sad as that might sound, that’s an improvement for...

Thank you! It’s pretty much gone except for when I lie down. Day or night when I lie down, the radio tuner sound start up. Like literally when I lie down. Any time of day. That part almost feels mental at this point. The rest I feel (like the physiotherapist and TMD doctor) is mechanical. Who...

Thank you! Hugs and health to you <3

Totally understand and respect everything you are saying and I get that frustration. I don't mean to talk anyone down. I too can go to that place. To be clear the physiotherapist is NOT a chiropractor, although he does palpation. He mostly works with tinnitus patients and was highly regarded by...

Marijuana lowers my tinnitus greatly (temporarily).

Well I have some good news to report. I’ve been able to get 6 good sleep days in a row. I was worried at first that I’d never sleep again.

Will do! I’m working first on acceptance of tinnitus. And my backup plan is this treatment. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst ya know :)

Will do thx ❤️

I went to the physical therapist yesterday that my ENT prescribed. He diagnosed me with this exact issue. He said I was a classic case of tinnitus caused by C1 and C2 misalignment from bad posture over years. He has assigned me to correct my posture. That was yesterday. So I will see what...

I know you are hedging your bets a bit saying 'do what you want' but I think your advice can be dangerous. You are using purely anecdotal evidence to tell people in a fragile emotional state not to listen to music (ever again) on headphones. You also tried to tell me despite the advice of my...

Often times yes it’s that loud. Not constantly. I have days with zero tinnitus. Loud tinnitus. Chirping tinnitus. Or all 3 in the same day. It’s confusing when which will come. That’s why it’s so upsetting to me. The loud spikes can wake me from sleep at 3 AM. I’m learning to sleep through...

My doctor believes my tinnitus is caused by neck issues. I don’t know if I can wait for the physical therapist on May 17. I suffer greatly. I’m going to a chiropractor today as a last ditch effort.

I really needed to hear this. I’m going through it right now pretty bad. And I’m thinking some pretty dark thoughts. But I really need to get through this anxiety. So I can be there for my family. I have moments where there is basically no tinnitus. Then I have almost every other day a large...

This has been a nightmare since the onset of my tinnitus three weeks ago out of the blue. I can’t really sleep. I’ve tried over-the-counter sleeping aids. Lorazepam. Muscle relaxers. Nothing seems to be working. I need to get sleep or I cannot function. Not sure what to do about that. All I...

Same situation. I suppose it’s a blessing it’s not constant. I’ll be going for neck physical therapy soon as I’ve been told that’s my cause. My neck is reallly messed up.

I was feeling borderline suicidal yesterday. I finally got some sleep last night due to muscle relaxer. And I feel a lot better today. My ENT said that I need to hold out until we treat the root causes which she believes will be up to physical therapy and possibly a chiropractor. Trying to keep...

Just wanted to say my heart goes out to you. I’m going through something similar. One day it will be almost completely gone, the next day it will spike. I’ve had a lot of trouble getting sleep. But we both got to keep the faith that things will get easier. Remember 98% of people habituate...

That seems to be my exact pattern too! I will have long periods during the day, let’s say four out of seven days, where it will not even be audible whatsoever. Even if I look for it. Then at night in spikes and I can’t fall asleep, and then end up getting very little sleep. Then the next day...

Thanks much, Michael :) Just yesterday I had my first day where my tinnitus wasn’t there. Only kicked up during sleep. I finally enjoyed a full day with my wife and some friends without hearing it. Even when I looked for it. It seems the days of this happening are happening more and more. I...

Makes sense and thank you for the kind words. Hoping you're right about the good trends! Just got to make it through each day. How do you manage your bad days? Ativan has been a life saver for me. If its severe 7/10 or more, it takes it down to 1 or less out of 10.

I understand your belief system. And I appreciate your input. How do you account for some days I have absolutely zero tinnitus, and some days it’s extremely loud?

Thank you. This is very helpful and reassuring. :-) I noticed when I took antianxiety medication that the sound comes down quite a bit. My ENT told me fluctuations are very normal. But I will have fluctuations between eight out of 10 and a .05 out of 10, to a zero out of 10. I will have two...

Respectfully. Do you really believe that my doctor doesn’t know what she’s talking about? That is one thing I really worry about with these forums is that people often state that they know more than the doctors. I’m not accusing you of that but I was worried when I posted that that people would...

Hey Folks! 34-year-old musician here. I'll start with that. But I will also start with the fact that my ENT says my hearing is perfect and believes that my tinnitus is NOT hearing related. She has said this several times. I know that among these groups, often, we can have the tendency not to...

Hey mate! I don’t know if you even have an account with this anymore as I hope you have moved on with your life and are feeling well. Like you I have had health anxiety my entire life, IBS, benign facial Latino syndrome, palpitations. All of which I’ve conquered and gotten better with through...
