I hope! Got rushed to the hospital hours before my sisters wedding was about to start which i was scared for cause of the loudness.. But ended up missin the whole thing and needed surgery so im thinkin it happened for a reason? Idk but still in some pain.. Doped up on pain killers for a few days.

Not because of your ears? Sorry you are in a bit of pain, keep taking painkillers to ease it - or just do whatever the doctor has said. Hopefully you will get better soon. I would just take it easy and try to watch/read something fun.
Thanks! Had to get surgery cause one of ovaries flipped on its own and i wasnt getting enough blood flow but all better now for the most part except for the pain. Was scary tho.. Life situations like that make you forget all about T and just happy to be alive.
Shit! That sounds AWFUL. You're right though, puts T in perspective. Glad you're okay though, hopefully you'll recover soon. Let us know how you get on.
I have found out that teenager Stephen Sutton has died. He suffered from bowel cancer since he was fifteen. He made a list of things he had wanted to do when he died, and one of those was raise over a million pounds for Teenage Cancer. He managed to raise over THREE MILLION pounds. He fought bravely against and though his life was only short, he did more than most people do in their whole lives.
The reason I am writing this on the Positivity Thread is because that even though we suffer from T, there are a lot worse things that we can get. My T drives me mad, but I would not trade it for some diseases like cancer. It makes you realise how lucky we actually are. WE ARE ALIVE, and we should enjoy them - even with this ringing in our ears.

Dont let bad comments get to you, always think positive, remember that positiveness helps faster healing, stay focused on things you really lik..
MemberLast weekend found me going beach crabbing at White Rock area beaches of Vancouver, British Columbia. It is a dare-devil form of crabbing which you may be required to catch your crabs by bare hand. White Rock beaches are slow sloping and every year this time when water is warm enough people go there at low tide to try their luck. As usual I woke up with T blasting loud but I don't give a dime to T high or low these days. I don't let it dictate my plan for the day. I proceeded to the beach at low tide. Wearing sunglasses & baseball cap, I searched for them under a glorious sunny blue sky with temperature about 20C. I could see dozen of Pacific Dungeness crab hiding in the eel grass at knee to waist deep water. You can only keep the male crab at 6.5" long. Most don't fit the requirement and you have to let them go for conservation. Most people went home empty handed but I lucked out with 2 fat crabs for dinner. With fresh Pacific air, blue sunny sky, nice ocean waves, gentle breezes and the feeling of vastness of space there, I will enjoy life regardless T high or low. Enjoying a hobby is a nice way to distract from focusing on T. Go out & enjoy life. Have a great day. Here are the beach crabbing scenes:
The good things about today:
- Work was hard but good and I was busy
- My brother will have finished his exams tomorrow and then we will be going to our favourite restaurant to celebrate!
- The weather has not been as bad as we thought it would
- Have tried cutting down on sweets and have not eaten as much chocolate as I usually would have
- Went on a lovely walk: it was bright and not cold either, and even though it had rained the ground was still dryish.
- Watched the litter of puppies that we will be getting ours from (breeders have set up a webcam) and they are becoming bigger and even cuter than before. Only nineteen days until we get him (name still undecided)
Another great day - but a peaceful one. Enjoyed the book I was reading, found out all the names of our puppy's siblings (we have decided - after MANY hours of discussion to call ours Finn. Can't wait till we get him!). To get into shape for our little puppy I have been going on walks, even though the weather has not been great. Saw more people with dogs. One of the things I love about being a dog owner is that when you are walking them you meet so many other people with other dogs, and even though you don't know them you connect with them because of their love for animals. I have walked once a day all week and have enjoyed myself while doing it. I cannot believe I can improve my mood so much from walking. If anyone is feeling down I suggest a walk/run/game/something that gets you outside. It honestly does help 
Well this week for me has been a crazy one last Monday I got a call form this major acting agancy called performing arts studio west they worked with disabled actor's ( I have a disability ) and I have a appointment on Thursday so ive bee running all over town getting my dress heals make up and in not done I still have to take some head shot (cell phone pics because I dont have time to go to a studio to get them done ) I really hope they sign me up I read on there Facebook page one of there actor's is in Tokyo Japan promoting his movie so this is huge for me
I really admire your positive attitude, Maria. We need to move on with life regardless of T & H or other disability. You are doing just that. It reminds me of the inspiring story of Melody Gardot, a lady jazz singer who achieves a booming singing career despite suffering from severe T & H, despite a major car accident which did massive damage to her body with incredible pain, despite limping on a cane, despite supersensitivity to light requiring her to wear sunglasses at all times. Positivity is a life force which can empower us to do the extraordinary things. Hope you will succeed in your dream of being an actress. Here is the inspiring story of Melody Gardot:

My positive adaptive is due to me dealing with a lot of stuff growing up since birth ive been a fighter if I told you my back story you wolud be amazed let just say I'm so lucky to be alive my mom gave me the straight to go on and never give up on what I want my mom pass 2. Years ago I miss her with everything I have i wish she was here to see this
Today was the first day I drank a beer since my onset, and believe me I dont give a rats ass about T right now, im enjoying my delicious beer and nothing is gonna stop me from it, I have been working despite my T scaring me before a left Texas last month, and im still alive, I overcame this abnoxious noise to work and drink my beer after a hard night of work! Come on guys/girls lets not give T a chance to beat us, we can do it, and thats not all, I get anxiety attacks,depression that I never got treated for, I busted a firger at work and my nail is falling, im away from home in Louisiana and im still ALIVE, IM LISTENING TO A BAD ASS SONG empire of the song called alive, and its made me cry because im so happy to know I can make it, T is hell but I got a family to support so lets go my people, lets live to the fullest!
That's great @raymundo2245 ! Enjoy that beer! As long as I don't have too much, beer and caffeine seems to make no difference to my T.
Just got back from camping--our daughter and her husband joined us. We did a bunch of things --the zoo--where I saw the baby giraffe and the snow leopards --and all the rest of the beautiful animals. The tiger weighs almost 1200 lbs! Such a beautiful animal. We went out to eat, we chilled out--it was just great. T came along but was reasonably quiet on two days--loud yesterday and today but I'm good. I noticed on Friday and Saturday that I kept forgetting about my T for 1/2 hour at a time! All of a sudden I would hear it and realized that I hadn't been hearing it for awhile!

And it will keep getting better, sometimes I cook out for the family and I dont hear it all day unles I get inside to where is quiet but as soon as I get out to family enviroment I totly forget, habituation is kicking in I guess, ...I think loud and low T days is within our heads because if I pjt ear plugs in at work it seems very loud but I still forget about it if im busy so I think our perception is sometimes higher because we are paying more attention to it than when we are busy, lets all try to exercise being busy in those so called loud days and I think we will come to realize that is all in our heads, habituation will kick in inevitably, I think thats just how our brains work, I wish everybody a quick recovery in here, keep your mind busy with things you like to do,hear or see and it will all fall in place for us, God bless everybody thats got T.
Right before I came to work my nephew gave me a blue tooth speaker that is loud enough to mask my T, I listen to music videos at a lowest level that mixes in with my T, I constantly hear or listen to low frequency music and video music I like before going to bed, talk to my wife on the phone and as soon as I get sleepy I fall asleep, sometimes I drink a relaxing tea called valeriana and it helps me relax even more and it gets me sleepy as well, on my way to work I drive with low music enough to mix in with my T and as soon as I get to work where is a bit loud I wear my ear plugs, thats when my T kicks on since is inevitable to avoid it due to my earplugs, but as soon as I start working climbing those fossil fuel towers and doing mechanic work I forget about it, so my job and music has been my therapy to help on my T, I read alot of positive posts in here that have helped me in my habituation and masking T in every posible way and it has helped me a great deal, but as soon as I get home im heading straight to the doctor to find better ways to find the origen of my T to fight back, and I have a piercing loud beep, and I still manage to ignore it doing my own music therapy, I ask of you all to do the same and find ways to mask your T in a natural way and keep visiting doctors to find ways of fighting this disorder even tough I have been good at habituating, read and find ways of working with T my friends, God bless u all!
I just bought my first proper digital camera (Olympus OM-D E-M10) and I plan to learn to use it with my wife. We have until November to learn how to use it... 
I love this place and admire all of the people in it, we actually help others like us! God bless us all and thanks for all thhe likes and hugs, im very proud of all the people helping others in here, God bless this Web site and its people!
Got up and didnt notice my T till I payed attention to it, its loud but as soon as I grt up and start my busy day it will be unnoticed for the day, im very sleepy, it may be my last day of work here in Louisiana close to the French quarters, hopefully tomorrow after a long month away from home I will be seing my kids and wife, and hopefully another good doctor, I will keep you all posted, im going with an allergies specialist first, then with a chiropractor for my neck then another ENT for another audiometry to se if any progress has been made if it was noise induced, im ready to go back home, im tired and family love hungry!
Thats right we all alive, very much alive with just another sound in our ears menu, thats how I put it, positiveness ..I can hear what others cant, not a blessing, but we perceive what others cant and that make us unique, wish you a full recovery and if that includes T so be it, God bless you!
Today is cook out day, bought chicken fajitas and ribs and a few stakes, time to do what I like most but first a good knap, I will have a couple of beers, Mexico is hot and dry today, im gonna wait till sun down, T is gonna be unnoticed and I will have a great day, wish you all the same and keep up the good work and positveness!
