In Loving Memory of David Craig Muller

[Grace]

:-( sooo sorry to hear bout this. My heart goes out to him, his family and everyone that knew him. Suicide is always horrible what ever the reason might be.. But hes now with god in the most beautiful peaceful place.. And can shine his love down and help others. Rip<3

according to Dr Nagler tinnitus sufferers commit suicide no more frequently than the general population--- where's that data from Dr?-- seriously... I know of anecdotal evidence of 3 tinnitus sufferers commiting suicide since the first of this year... I'm on other forums and haven't heard of one person ever committing suicide... the truth is the truth even if its ugly... perhaps we should send the ATA a notification every time someone with tinnitus decides to end their life

I certainly haven't heard of anyone committing suicide from chicken pox itch or the tree falling down in the forest!!!


PS today at work I mentioned this tragic event the answer was: he probably suffered from something more serious than tinnitus!!!

I'm sure medical people would say the same thing, really sad!

He was on the support group I belong to on Facebook and he tried several doctors to get Retigabine (forgot the name in the US) but they all refused. We messaged back and forth several times as he did with others in our group. He was a good man and he will be missed. In my opinion the doctors failed him.

Sincere condolences. I think we've all been there at some point or another. I urge anyone with these feeling to seek professional help - it literally saved my life.

@angie

Doctors are not to blame for being unwilling to prescribe a drug off-label for a condition for which it has not been proven effective. Nobody is to blame.

My condolences.

You finally have your silence, you can rest in peace now. This is a terrible condition that makes people have to make such a difficult decision that no one should ever have to make. I have thought about it many times myself. I will pray for his family. I am a physician myself, family general practice and I promise you that most of the medical community have absolutely no idea how much suffering tinnitus can cause. I will do my best to educate my fellow physicians as much as possible about the terrible impact tinnitus can have on our lives.

That's what's needed Doctors educated on this condition in practices . No words written in any language can describe it to a living soul who haven't got and trying to live with this continual ,no let up noise .
I've got allergies ( rhinitis ) going along with mine daily ,so that's an add on with mine.
I knew one dr with this ,but he was 90 yrs when he told me he had it ,no longer in practise ,said it drives him crazy ,he'd had it for years ,so as a dr he never got use to it .
Life threatening yes ,for some .Drs out there be it general ,or ENT need better educating to its affect on their patients ,I'm sorry your another sufferer ,but your job you can be of great help ,by educating fellow Drs alone .
Wishing you all the very best Marlene

Until just about a week ago, there were really no clinical guidelines for doctors to treat tinnitus, We now actually have a formal set of guidelines to go by, this does offer some hope that the medical community is waking up on the subject. Here is the link those guide lines.

Thanks, the fact that tinnitus is garnering more and more attention from the medical community is a sign that there actually is hope that there will be effective treatments coming.

If there is one thing I can say about habituation is that it is sort of like a catch-22. People who are habituated tend to say that tinnitus isn't that bad. So that makes the problem less urgent for doctors and scientific researchers to find a treatment/cure. But on the flip side, since there isn't a cure, people with tinnitus want to habituate so that they can move on with their lives and not be miserable. It's one of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" type of things.

He suffers no longer. Although a stranger, may he rest in peace. I am so sorry for his family and friends.
