It is good to see you on the forum Emmalee as you have been quiet for a while.
Thank-you.
So nice of you to say, Michael. I take breaks from time to time, mostly when things here start to become overwhelming. From my first visit here I have always gravitated to the lighter, more positive threads. I truly believe this is how I have managed to cope with my tinnitus as well as I do. The "hopeful" threads gave me just that, hope. I still read the success stories to this day.
In light of some recent threads, and the comments in them, please let me say "thank-you" for holding your own, Michael. Your staying power, in spite of some down right rude comments, is admirable. You help so many newbies who come here looking for some hope and encouragement. Your articles must be considerably time consuming, I respect your commitment to this forum and its members.
Pleased to hear the tinnitus calmed down for you.
Thank-you.
My tinnitus, unlike yours, never relents. My pitch/loudness has always remained the same, a very loud tea kettle whistle, heard over
everything all of the time. This past summer, due to high stress situations, I endured two spikes that were off the charts. To say I was distressed is an understatement. I was in tears at the doctor's office, this is why he prescribed the clonazepam. He is a great doctor, he never left out one detail when explaining the medication to me. He gave me five pills, with no repeats, to use only as needed. If and when I were to finish the prescription, I was instructed to come back to the office to discuss my experience with him. I am one of the lucky ones, I presume. Like I said, he is a very good doctor.
I haven't taken magnesium tablets in years but as I say recently started. I have noticed the tinnitus hasn't reached very severe levels where I've needed to take clonazepam and hope this continues.
I hope this continues for you, too, Michael. I will have to look into this for myself.
