    Believe it or not it will get easier to handle. When you are having a really bad, remember those good days when the T was not bad. This method helps me a lot through the really bad days.

    Can Vitamin D Make Tinnitus Worse?

    For me it made T worse, T spiked everyday for over a month. The next day after I stopped it T was at least back to how it was, around 40% of the time I had decent days. We all can react different to other things. Things like caffeine, lack of sleep do not affect the T I have at all.

    I Will Never Complain Again

    Had the Kinney stone remove about six hours ago, I am home now. Everything went smooth, Dr did not have to use a stent, he able to grab it way up in the ureter and take it out.

    No it is not constant once you pass it. There are different levels you go through as the stone moves. In my case I have six in each kidney. When the last one passed about six months ago I stood home and took a pain killer and was fine. This time the kidney stone is 4mm and having problems...
