[Daniel Lion]

Long story short. Had money to go to doctor Shim, but around three weeks ago discovered a tumor on the back of my tongue.

Left Laos and went to a hospital up in the north of Thailand where the ENT was mentally deficient and said I had a sore throat. Took a 24 hour train to Bangkok to a really good hospital where they did a PET scan, biopsy, operation to remove the tumor and another biopsy. I'm cancer free, thank goodness, because the life expectancy for oral cancer is less than five years. Was alone, and worried my kids would lose their dad. Tinnitus has changed me, even through this harrowing experience the fucking ringing in my head was constant, just as I write now. It's an awful affliction, illness, that is truly debilitating. I'm happy to be free of cancer, for now. I was a foundry worker, a welder, builder, been exposed to industrial toxins my whole life, and smoked for three decades. I'm completely straight edge now and have been for a couple years. Working class hamburger meet. Self educated, have been teaching in Asia, live in Laos with my wife and three kids, and built a house with my own hands. Also a sculptor, but tinnitus derailed many of my projects and peace. I miss silence, I miss my soul music, I miss life without the siren in my head, but I'm pretty strong and cope the best I can. Anyhow, cancer free, yahhhhh, and back to tinnitus land. Hyperacusis is gone, don't know why, but that is well and truly debilitating and god awful.

Just wanted to let you mofos know where I'm at, I've never been part of a forum and am a proper Luddite, but am happy to be part of this forum, it's helped me a lot.

Peace out, Daniel way up and away in Laos

Due to tinnitus I drink too much, cause if I drink enough it's a temporary, quasi-escape from this hell!
Ugh!!
@Jack Straw

Try to keep it in moderation! Neuromod is on its way!

I feel ya there, I hit the bottle really hard in the summer when my tinnitus went fucking bananas. After acquiring tinnitus I basically quit drinking until last summer. After 6 months it chilled out.
I'm just gonna put this out here so people can read it and I don't really feel like writing up a whole post but my tinnitus as of late has been like 3/10 for a while lately with occasional days where it's pretty bad. This is after 1.5 years of constant-heard over traffic- metallic-oscillating- train brake screeching tinnitus. So it can get better, even after a long, long while. Take care everyone.

I probably jinxed myself.

Wow!! I am genuinely happy to hear that, you are a good guy and you deserve a goddamn break.

Thanks man, right back at you. I hope you can get some quality relief. Be it through healing or science, and soon! Also I want new sufferers to understand it can get better. It might not go away but it can chill.

My people, are you aware of the potential upcoming Internet-laws imposed by the European Union in a few months?
Articles 11 and 13, I believe they are. I worry about what they could mean for your well-crafted memes and similar.

Learn to use (and pay) for a VPN, and switch to a small local ISP.

ISP's that do the most spying and bring convince to these agencies are usually large ones. Small companies don't have the giant resources and servers to collect data permanently, That's why I choose my areas local ISP instead of the more popular prominent nation wide one.

Who else really knows they're f*cked?

Sometimes I see posts that seem to be replies to someone on my Ignore List. When I hope that your T will be gone soon.

Ugh I can't take these facebook T groups.

i don't think Julian Hill means any ill will. I think he really wants to help. It's just that he says some dumb stuff. Like "stop telling people there's no tinnitus cure'. I mean uh there is no cure.

He's basically an online TRT therapist.

i don't care personally.

The EU can suck it

His book is full of waffle. I just ... don't know why I don't like him. I do believe he means well in some way, but there's something I don't trust about him.

That I can agree with. My hope is that the enforecement will turn out impossible.

I will say I emailed him years ago asking advice and he said no problem but I had to pay

Hmmmmm

 

[Drone Draper]

I mean, it is how he makes money, so I can appreciate that.

Maybe in the infancy of the internet, but the government sat on that for way too long... it is way beyond any government capabilities. Well except China in their own country.

 

[JohnAdams]

Exactly.

One thing I want to see end is people and "organizations" luring you in with vague phrases that lead you to believe they actually have something that can help you get better and it always turns out to be some emotional self help guru crap.

Right Julian, stop saying there's no cure. So then what is it doug? Oh you don't know? Thanks for the pep talk, I still have tinnitus and hyperacusis.

@threefirefour you might find YouTube channel "Violin MD" to be interesting.

Sometimes I make fun of the UK for brexit, but then I remember that the EU is an authoritarian shithole.

At least Net Neutrality will probably go back online here. Fight the good fight Europe.

She's a doppelganger of one of my exes.
