How I'm Doing and Why I Mostly Left All Tinnitus Forums

[Michael Leigh]

Sorry you're having a bad day. I am as well. I guess it was my fault as I instigated this.

I am glad you did because I was able to look back and see what Wojtek had written and quite frankly it is not good. Pleased that I was able to delete my post in time.

Thanks once again
Michael

Hi Wojtek, I did not take offence to your post. You are clearly someone who has learned to cope with their Tinnitus for many years. I think what you are saying is the key to coping with Tinnitis is to not let it get you depressed or anxious, that there are much worse things we could be suffering from. That you are saving money to get the stem cell treatment tells us that you dislike Tinnitus just like we all do and would like to be cured, however you are not going to allow Tinnitus to make you crawl up in a corner and stop living.
Thank you for the post, I found it helpful.

Tinnitus is a huge annoyance, but not a disease or something worst. Eventually all could possibly cope/habituate to the tinnitus. That is not the same case for diseases or major illnesses that are taking tons of lives each and every year.

I understood his point, but the bashing of the suicidal ones was not something i'd agree with...

@fishbone always admire your attitude

and I did not bash suicidal ones if you understood me, I bash people who never care about anything and then suddenly get frustrated about life because it hit them and not others ...

Hi there,

I have had tinnitus for 23 years now, six months ago it spiked after photographing at concert with good earplugs. Like from 4/10 to 8/10...

I found this forum which I am really grateful for and spoke with some amazing people. Even made some good friends.

Having tinnitus for 23 years made me a better person, and even now I refuse to let the new tone take over my life. While I was living without any help for many years now I mask like 20h a day with an mp3 player. The last six months have been up and down and in total the noise went down but just a little, I can be without masking but I prefer to have earplugs with noises or neural tones to suppress the ringing. Yes I hear it even loud in the shower but no I do not complain. There are millions of people out there who really have something that hurts their life, tinnitus is just a condition, it does not do much to you if you do not let it. If you want to be weak it will probably kill you.

I got thrown out of the Facebook Tinnitus community because I am honest and a lot of people can not deal with honesty.

I find it disgusting to hear people write crap like why did my god did something to me like this, why do I get punished while million children starve to death... even though I am very much against suicide these people probably should better kill themselves for being selfish pricks, as selfish as one could be.

I am a bit tired of this... I can not do this any more or else. So many out there write like this...
Yes this is the new generation maybe we over 40 we used to say we find a way if there is none we create one... instead of complaining about life and bitching how hard it hit you...

Go one week to the slums of Mumbai... and live there with no money... you will see how life hits you...

Anyway all I would love to share here atm yes it will get better always 100%, as long you believe in it and work your ass off to get there... even the loudest tinnitus is bearable, while I took prednisolone for a month I had days where all I heard was the ringing nothing else, trying good weed I had a 100x worse experience I could not even move, the noise was soo loud that I could not move, was paralyzed and thought that is pure torture... but it stopped after 1h.

I am saving up for a stem cell treatment in Thailand but I arranged my life, some people around me get annoyed for me running around with headphones all the time... but who cares...

I want to thank everyone for the great work this forum and its members do, and I from time to time I will read and post my opinions... I learnt a lot, more that I could ask for but I still believe there is no cure at all for a noise inducted tinnitus except when the body decides to heal itself so far... and no amount of complaining will get anyone anywhere... except making things worse.

There is a good rule in life, do NOT whine, bitch and complain...

So long... I wish you all the the best and I meet some more amazing people from all over the world... and remember tinnitus does not do much to you if you do not let it... keep smiling it helps a lot...

Oh and read the Open Veins of Latin America, by Eduardo Galeano... it will humble you...

Big Hugs
Wojtek

Wojtek, I wanna thank you for all of your advice you gave to me, I wanna thank you for realism, thank you for sending me the survival pack. Wojtek cares a lot about people, he just keeps it real. Sometimes that isn't what people what to hear and I understand that. But I love his F-T Rock the house attitude.
