Chit Chat and All That...

Well, I want to have my ears back and then adopt 12! <3 :D
I see your point.

Orphans (also non-Orphans) are loud.

For now just get 12 cats... or ferrets.

Cats for if you want to look crazy, and smell.

Ferrets for if you like the feeling of things running round in your trousers/"pants".
 
Possibly every post I've ever made on Tinnitus Talk :LOL:

Being from Massachusetts and going to college there, besides New Hampshire, I'm very familiar with Dr. Kabat-Zinn early days, but rather not go into details.

Back then, he wouldn't claim that his study was the answer for very severe pain. With his medical study, he knew that medical intervention and/or heavy pain mediations was needed. I can't take any pain meds, because my tinnitus becomes super sonic with a very high-pitched whistle.

For me, when just having hearing loss tinnitus, the best mindfulness was undertaking a project with accomplishment. I almost forgot that I had tinnitus as loud as a fire alarm, when building sets of 1975 and 1968 Topps baseball cards. Also reading novels of personal experiences helped.

Now with also having somatic and pulsatile tinnitus and unbearable pain, there is nothing that going to help me and I know that all do understand.

I have not left my home in 5 years, except to go doctors/dentists. Been hanging by a thread for years. About two years ago, I developed hypertension and had a hypertension crisis. Recently, I experienced another hypertension crisis and loss all eye sight in left eye again, but this time it can't be fixed. Right eye sometimes become very blurry.

Hugs.
@Greg Sacramento, i'm sorry that you are in such a pain.

I've read some of of your old posts.

From what I understand, you first developed tinnitus in 2011 after a medical procedure and after a period of habituation a dental procedure left you with somatic and pulsatile tinnitus.

My question is: what exactly caused your tinnitus the second time? Was it the sound of the dental drill or the fact that you had an abnormal jaw position during your implant procedure? Or the drilling itself into the bone?

Thank you!

Hi aura,

Dentist placed too much torgue when removing cap that screwed into implant stem and it broke. Cap needed to be removed before placing tooth on stem. A long procedure to vibrate the broken cap part out - caused major jaw nerve damage, loosen other teeth. Neck muscle spasms straighten my C spine and that did serious damage to my ipsilateral vertebral artery and C1 thru C6. Instant severe somatic tinnitus.

Later, I had a hypertension crisis that caused an abdominal aortic aneurysm and retina detached. Laser was used on retina and sight came back 100%. Pulsatile tinnitus developed. Recently I was placed under severe stress from a friend. Abdominal aortic aneurysm enlarged and lost sight in left eye again, but this time it's permanent.

Hugs.
 
Oh man, I sooo want a dog to keep me company. :puppykisses: :love:
Hopefully I can get one that doesn't bark a lot in the future...
Problem is all the dogs you meet when walking yours... :/

I often meet 2 dogs that never barks. When they meet other dogs it's time to muff up and keep moving...

Perhaps if you got tennis balls and treats with you every time you go out, you can get the other ones to shut up :)

If you live in the woods, far away from civilization, that won't be an issue. ;)
 
I just read his book 'Lifespan'.
I'll have to put that on my must read list. Over the course of last couple of weeks I've made my way through Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and at the moment I'm reading Joe Haldeman's Peace and War but once I've finished that there is plenty of room for something that is firmly established in the here and now - thanks for the tip :)
