End of the Line

Mine is the same way, Geo. If you can learn how to meditate and also stay in shape, you may be able to exert some limited amount of conscious control over all this.

It's not easy, it takes time and patience and I know that neither of those things come easy when you have a banshee howling in your ears 24/7 -- but this is the only useful tool I've found for dealing with this, in 15 years of searching...

Off the topic here, I already asked you this question but maybe you missed it, did you find those neck exercises useful at all?
Thanks!

hmm, maybe a little bit, but I also didn't stick with them for long enough -- I had some other health problems blow up that sort of threw me off my game for a few weeks. Trying to get back to them now!

Hey Geo..glad you're alive..as shitty as life may be..My H and T only continue to worsen as well..and yes isolation is fing killer. I made myself go out this week with friends and paid big time. .Sick of it..but only alternative is an eternal exit..so I don't know..I will only do that when I have accomplished all that I want to do..pain or no pain...I feel like I have a death sentence hanging over my head..My life as I knew it, is over...anyways..who the hell started the rumor? that's twisted.

my tinnitus 3 years ago spiked, due to having dental crown installed. it was so bad, that the sound of my own voice would make it spike. i thought i was going to be dead very soon. i could tolerate no sound what so ever. i thought my career was shot. gradually, i persevered, and it slowly slowly got better, little by little. i followed the advice of the ATA support people. also needed quite a pile of meds to be able to get to sleep. I was on quite a bit of imovance at one time, which i cut back little by little, so i wouldn't get hooked. also used pink noise all the time. also made sure i was NEVER exposed to any loud noise. i still consider myself a cripple, but 3 years ago i thought i was going to be dead very soon. sometimes, it was so bad, that in the evening, i would just cry and cry and cry. the crying did no good, but made me exhausted. the last time i got a spike, my doctor prescribed clonazepam for me, which IMMEDIATELY killed the spike. i reserve clonazepam as just an emergency med. i take lyrica, mirtazapine, and thc, in reasonable doses. My thc is by prescription, i buy it, and my dose is about one ounce per 2 months. i also put some of it in the oven the convert the THC to CBN. i also buy the CBD rich cannabis. i take it as an edible. true enough, the thc will cause the tinnitus to get louder, but it is temporary, and i am used to it. i believe it is also beneficial, because the brain now has a louder tinnitus, that it needs to deal with, and then the thc effect wears off, the tinnitus actually get quite a bit less. the thc induced tinnitus has a completely different character to it, which tells me something good is going on in the brain. i use "music therapy" - quiet music played at night, which i believe combined with thc is beneficial. that is just a theory of mine, but so far it seems to be working. don't expect just thc to cure you up, it needs to be balanced with other meds, like tegretol and lyrica. just thc on its own, doesn't do the trick for me. but i do find since taking the thc, my health has been considerable better.

I am feeling at wits end myself.

I have had 3.5 days of this and it rings all day except under flourescent lights where my chiro did something with my neck muscles and really screwed things up.

I am hoping to talk to someone else.

If you have followed my story than you would know how bad my T and H has been worsening all year. My T is just on another dimension it keeps popping out more tones and intensifying them so bad and my H is just reacting everything i easily get over 100 reactive reactions a day to point im in so much pain feels like my tones are pearcing my brain its just so bad. I treat everyday like my last im in so much torment and pain everyday is crazy.. I cant take this anymore idk whats triggering in my head everyday that causes all this seems like everyday i wake up it changes tunes and volumes i cant even talk normal before itll react bad.my mom keeps pleading with me to go to the hospital because im in so much pain from this intensifying T and H.. But i cant risk going outside if my voice does it outside is hell and more damage i know from experience . And yet what will the hospital do i cant go in a MRI and see if theres actually something triggering it thats basically suicide for me at this point. And the options of what it could be are very small. But idk what to do anymore im just so drained from taking this beating daily is sickening. I would rate my case as one one of the worst ive ever heard. What would you do if you were in my position would u risk going to the hospital and causing more damage.. I honeslty dont know how ima see next year the way im going im basically fighting everyday to stay alive...

Hey man how are you doing these days? Has it gotten any better for you?
