Cause of Tinnitus
loud noise and very bad sickness
Hi guys/gals it's your local helper fishbone. I am writing another post and sharing a story from my life and my struggles and triumphs and I hope it can help someone out.
Some of you who regularly read my posts, kinda have an idea as to what I go through day in and day
out in my life. I have brutal ringing/high pitched in both ears and it's not maskable. I have very bad body pain, all over my body from my fibromyalgia, 2 4-7.

recently I had a promotion in my martial arts and we had to do stuff, that a normal person would pass out from. My body is beat up , my mind is tierd...I am not a normal person (in that sense). I have pain and ringing and deal with being alone 2 4 7. It's a tough life, but I guess I was chosen to live it and thrive in it.

For the past 2 days, I have had a very nasty head pressure (I always have these, but lately its been more difficult). My whole face feels very tense and I feel pain and a bad sensation in my jaws. I was talking to my friend last night. He was telling me that his ankles hurt, I was like you are very lucky. My whole body is in pain from head to toe, my ears are ringing and it's hell and my face and jaws are in pain.

He asked if i am taking any meds/pain killers for it. I said, no, I am just handling the pain and smiling and living my life.

He said, how can you handle such misery and horror like this and not get emotional over it and not lose it.

I said, because losing it will not make my ringing go away. Losing it will not make my fibro go away. Losing it will not make my jaws, headaches and pains go away.

I simply told him that I ACCEPT my issues and don't challenge it. I use to not be this way when I was younger, I'd fight it, get angry and just not accept it. All that did was make my issues worst and not help. When I use to challenge my issues, it simply ramped up my stress, and made my tinnitus much much worst.

Now I know myself pretty well and I have been dealing with these issues for quite awhile. Still at times, I get new surprises that hit me upside the head. I have been to many doctors and tried my best, to resolve my issues and I had lots of high hopes. Nothing worked and no answers, when I got to that point...I knew that acceptance was key and fighting it would just not make this stuff go away.

I live by the motto - IT IS-WHAT IT IS. Life can be pretty obvious and I accept it. I have ringing that is brutal, I accept it. I have fibro/body pain, I accept it. I have pain in my face and head, I accept it. I lost my parents and family, it's very hard but I accept it. Accepting does not mean we give up, in reality it means we WIN. Fighting things all the time, drains your body and mind. For me at least, that's a no win situation. I share this story/post with you because I care for this forum and know a lot of you hurt, just like I do, daily.

We need to at times, go to doctors and get help...I am 100% for that. I am always for seeing a professional and hopefully getting help, so I am all for it. I am probably one of the MOST positive people on this forum and I love helping people. I share my stories, with folks to give you an inspiration and let you know that in life...we can still be positive and encouraging, even when we have a VERY difficult and challenging life. Our attitudes and mindset are what makes us truly unique and special. This was an emotional post for me to write, but If I can help anyone and motivate them, then this post must be seen.

Even with all my hardships, I still look forward to a new day and challenge and love the 1 life I have.

Never give up, in your life and always move forward my friends :)

***This is post from my life, my point is to hopefully not offend anyone, just to share something that can help you, live a better life***
 
@fishbone,
Like you I have problems with my health.
Menieres,hearing loss bilateral tinnitus,sever asthma under the hospital and Ostio and Rheuatoid Arthritis .
I accsept my health issue's as a part of me and do everything I can to be happy and laugh a lot because im a bubbly person.
Tinnitus is mental torture but I wear my hearing aids and push to be happy and not dwell on my health.
Everyone in time will find their happy self again and thats a nice thought.
Love glynis
 
Doing martial arts w/ fibro.... that alone is an inspiration!

After my last exam, I couldn't walk or do anything for close to 2-3 days. My hands and limbs were in horrific pain. I must have taken 2-4 hot showers a day to heal (it never heals) my muscle pains. I got promoted to a higher rank and took a stance against Fibro pain and tinnitus.

People with fibro/tinnitus don't do these things, I guess I am different.

While we were testing kids were screaming and i was like, wow. I kept it cool and out of all that madness, I did not even get a spike. I did not let anxiety, get the best of me. ***Folks, I do these things and DO not advise for you guys and gals to do as I do :) ******

Man you are very important in this Forum !!!! :)

You make us feel better accepting and supporting our Ts !

I really thank you for that !

All the Best !

Fishbone, you are truly inspirational. I feel bad for myself all the time, and I'm trying to get out of that stage. Maybe I still need more time or something. I don't know, but someone like you makes me realize it's possible to say shit happens and move on with life.
 
Thanks for your post @fishbone! I actually stayed away from this forum for a while because all the negativity was getting to me, and then I found your uplifting post!

I totally agree that acceptance is the key - although of course easier said than done. And while I do feel for all the people on this forum who are expressing their suffering through negativity, I want to stay away from all that and focus on inspirational messages like yours. I don't see that we have any other choice but to accept our bad luck and move on, if we care about life at all (which I do). But it can be a long and painful road to acceptance - not quite there yet myself, but know I'll get there eventually!
 
I'm glad my posts can help people and possibly comfort them. Life is a struggle, life will always have obstacles. We can overcome it and live our lives. Never let tinnitus, stop you from living your life. We are strong and we shall move forward!
 
It has been hard for me to not hear the tinnitus and the anxiety can get to me. I use apps all the time, however some tend to increase the tinnitus so if I have had no sleep all night then I suffer during the day time. I have lately had pain all over the body, my muscles seem tighter, my face tense, and today I am feeling a bit like vomitting but hopefully not. Often the head feels a bit dizzy and I don't seem to work very well on these days. I work on my own and so I am often trying to be cheerful but it is just hard all the time. I don't think my Betahistine seems to be effective any more, although I try to take one in the morning and if it's still playing up take one in before lunch. If I feel nauseous I take a Buccastem.
 
It is such a painful place to be in, thank you for your powerful post which will help me try to become stronger. Life has turned into hell recently. I hope all our journeys become easier with time. Geoff
 
fishbone,

I'm amazed at how strong you are. If I ever get to where you are, I will be extremely impressed with myself. As it stands, I just don't think I possess the willpower. Not even close. And it's not for lack of trying. My problems are minor compared to yours and yet I'm on the brink of suicide. I feel like such a weakling.

I am sorry you feel this way. I 100% understand your issue and face it myself and it can be pretty challenging. My suggestion would be to try to figure a strategy that can help you cope and live your life. My fibro hates it when I don't exercise. The muscles become very stiff and pain starts coming around badly. I also have pretty bad gastritis/acid refulx almist daily and that triggers brutal fibro pain all over my body. So I try to control that as well.

In regards to the tinnitus, its pretty loud and there is not much I can do to lower its volume. I simply live my life and try to enjoy it as much as I can. My hearing is very poor and the tinnitus covers a great amount of my hearing range. It's life and I accept it and just live it. Don't ever give up, keep trying and keep pushing forward.

I am very familiar with being in hell. I have been through the ringer many many many times in my life and still face it. Even if hell exists, I still try not to let it overtake my emotions and just ruin me like that. It's very hard and very painful, but that's life. Being in hell and getting super emotional makes that even more difficult. I can recall being addicted to benzos at very high amounts and my ringing was louder than ever. I knew that the benzos were making my life a living hell. I was on a very high amount and I did not taper the proper way. The hell and agony I went through tapering and the withdrawls I had. No support from family, nobody. Everyday I was in hell and begged for someone to please save me and my sanity. I eventually beat my addiction and after that i slept 1-2 hours a day for the next 90+ days. I am no stranger to hell but I still managed to beat the odds and still manage to beat the odds and the crazy stuff that life throws at me.

My point is to never give up. Things look scary, sometimes we feel like there is no hope. I been there and i felt the same, but i still believed and I still pushed forward and kept up with the game plan. Never give up!

I'll be very honest with you. I came into this world a soft spoken person and wanted the world and life to be fair and loving to all. I got smacked in the face with reality as a kid and it progressed more as i grew older. Life is never easy and it has taught me lessons that I use each day to face my horrible tinnitus, body pain and the loss of my 2 parents that meant everything to me. I never thought i'd be the person I am today. Life can make our skins grow very thick and that's what happened to me. I never wanted the life and the hardship I have had and still have, but I just carry on and live it. IT is ,what IT is. I face reality and I know what is going on and that's just how I live.

Willpower simply comes down to just HOW BAD you want to live and enjoy the life you have. I want to live it pretty damn bad and enjoy it pretty damn bad. No ringing in my ears or limb/muscle/neurlogical pain will take that away from me..never! I just go home from training(martial arts) at a buddy house and he out weighs me by 100 lbs and i was still being the dominant one. Our attitude is VERY important. Our attitude makes us who we are. I have a positive one and It helps me create the life I want to live :)

Don't ever give up, you can still live a quality life.

That's the thing, though. It's hard for me to feel like life is worth living since I'm a musician and music is the thing that seems to be destroying me. I can't listen to earbuds or headphones, can't go to any shows that I'm not playing unless I use heavy duty protection... there aren't a lot of things I care about in life besides music, and I feel like that's been robbed of me. As long as I keep even playing drums, I'm putting myself at risk.

What a bummer :(

Music has been very important to me all my life and still is. I use to play the keyboard/piano. What I loved the most, is what did me in with tinnitus the most as well. I don't play instruments anymore but I still play music on my soundbar that is attached to my tv. Not loud music, but still enjoyable level of music.

Hopefully you can find a new passion and enjoy that. Life might shut one door, but a new door of opportunity can open up too :)
 
I live by the motto - IT IS-WHAT IT IS. Life can be pretty obvious and I accept it.

What you've written reminds me of something Michael J. Fox said. "Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it."

We do best when we know which battles can be won, and which battles will only serve to drain us. I admire that you have come to terms with challenges that even the angels could not endure. :huganimation:

@fishbone - I read something from your writings every morning.
Your inspiration is a tremendous help to many of us.
One courageous and very special guy.
Thank you. x
Jazzer.
 
I get teary reading your posts @fishbone. You are a mountain of positivity and courage, not courage in a power display but courage in facing and accepting life's tough challenges by flowing with them and not raising hell against them. That kind of positivity and soft and yet unyielding approach towards life is truly admiring and I salute you for it. I feel honored to be in the same support forum with you and glynis plus other notable members who swallow their pains and lick the wounds of life, and yet caring enough to extend a helping hand to those in dire need of help. Take good care my friend. God bless.
 
Folks, today is a good day to keep pushing forward. Life is very hard for all of us. My body is in insane amounts of pain and I am pushing forward. The ears are ringing like HELL and I am pushing forward. Depression lurks and I am pushing forward.

Bless all that suffer!

PS- those baby steps, little actions, movements all add up to a HUGE accomplishment eventually!
 
@fishbone More than you'll ever know, I needed your post today. You made a difference in my life today. Thank you

My dear brother, hardship is all around us. We are all struggling. I am 4000 miles from any remaining family and my spirt/soul/inner fire is what keeps me going daily. I have no support and no love(I came into this world to love people, help people, be with people), it's brutal but I/YOU/WE must keep pushing forward. It's a scary/lonely world out there and we must never be defeated by it.....

Bless....

PS-I am glad that I am able to touch, the hearts of many and make a difference in their lives. It brings tears to my eyes that this hardened soul, can ease the pain of people.....bless you and I hope your day goes ok :)
 
My situation is so similar it's scary. I'm under many different consultants, for various problems, and this includes severe joint pain all over my body. As many of you are aware I've had various tests already and I'm seeing a rheumatologist on the 8th. I set myself goals and I strive to achieve them; that's how I turn my problems into aspirations. When I had my chest problem (when I was a teenager) I decided to learn guitar as a distraction, and it became more than that, it ultimately became my livelihood. Then when my tinnitus turned my life upside down it put that into jeopardy. However, I came to realise that life offers us many opportunities and when problems arise they can sometimes, surprisingly, benefit us. Having our life turned upside can sometimes give us a unique view into the world.

I believe that if you can turn all your negative energy into something good it can totally revitalise you. For example, if you can use your tinnitus suffering, as fuel, to propel you to do all the things that you want in life, then you can thank the very fact that you acquired it for your new found successes. It's a great psychological aid. I've used this process many times throughout my life and it's driven me to achieve things that may have slipped me by. So, take up all that suffering and try and channel it into accomplishing something that could change your life.

Also, look outwardly. If you see someone having a hard time, help them. Taking time out of your day to help a stranger, or a friend, will replenish your soul. For some people it can have a dramatic effect on their own wellbeing. I have multi-tonal/hissing tinnitus that I'd consider severe, but it no longer bothers me. I have no idea if it will again at some point in the future, but as of right now, it invokes no emotional response out of me.

After seeing my uncle die recently it made me even more determined to not only change my life for the better, but also other people's.

Wish you the best of luck Ed. Constant body pain is very difficult. I know this first hand and it's been a part of my life every day for 12 years now. I have it all over my body 24-7 and it can make life complex for sure. There are days that I can barely move out my bed, but I do and I live with it. There are rare occasions that I will take 1 reg strength tylenol to deal with this beast.

I have found out that being active and not letting the muscles go stuff is VITAL to our muscles and joints. Doing anything is better than just doing nothing and letting the muscles do nothing and having them become stiff. I wish you luck on your dr visit. For myself, there is nothing I can do to reverse this hell I am in. I am very sensitive to meds and all of them give me side effects and issues. I just endure the pain, as I endure the intrusive tinnitus.

Good luck on all your future journeys and I am very proud of YOU!
 
Hi Fishbone,
I understand you more than you will ever know and I do try not to post about it.
I have rhumatoid arthritis and Ostio Arthritis and walked with elbow crutches for many years.
I had knee operations on both knees and one knee had muscles cut to re inline my knee tracking.
Most of my joints are painful and need hand splints a lot.
I have Meniere's and sever Bilateral tinnitus and sever asthma that causes me to really struggle to breath and can be life threatening and can not take anti inflammatory meds as my lungs go nuts.
All that as well as coping with tinnitus.
My nan lost her leg and my mum had deformed feet due to it.
I fight a battle everyday but I know I will always fight for a better life and not dwell on what is hard.
It is free to laugh and smile and find what makes you happy and just say stuff you life I have a right to be happy so I will show you I'm stonger than what life throws at me.
....
fight for your right to be happy as we only have one life.
I have dedicated my life to helping others and I know my life is ment to be this way.
love glynis x
 
Hi Fishbone Thank you for being that beacon of hope, something that is most in need, not just in the TWorld, but in life in general. I am new to this world, and several days ago you (and Bill B.) replied to one of my posts. An act that I was very grateful for as it provided me the stuff of hope. Please keep standing strong, and I encourage you to continue with the efforts you put forth today, they do make a difference to, I imagine, an expansive group of people.
Thanks, John CC

I have dedicated my life to helping others and I know my life was meant to be this way. As a teen my life was already structured to help and save people. I recall one day I was riding my skateboard in a heavy down pour rain. The streets were flooded and I was a fearless youth and I had no fear. I rode my skateboard to taekwondo class. No person in their right mind would ever do this. I did it all the time. I was riding my skateboard and many parts of the streets were flooded and it was bad. Close to 3-4 feet of water.

As I rode down the street. I saw this elder couple in their 70's scared and hold unto the stop light pole so the flood would not sweep them away. I put down my skateboard and walked across the water. I took their hands and walked them across the street. The street was flooded and I was barely tall enough to be above the flood.

I walked them to safety and the elder lady said, "son, you are gods angel that has saved our lives today. Ty Ty Ty. She hugged me and i rode my skateboard to my taekwondo class"

I use to go and visit the senior citizens home when I was a teen, Id go hug and talk to these wonderful people. I'd put a smile on their face and show them unconditional love. I have made a difference in 100s of homeless people's lives.

My life has ALWAYS been about helping the good people of this world. My actions are no different on this site.

It's rare to find genuine people that thrive on making a difference in our world. I am glad to have been one of them and i'll be an angel to humanity till my time on this earth is phased out.

Keep doing the good work @glynis your reward is felt and a bigger reward is always headed toward you :)
 
When I read your posts I feel ashamed about my own struggles.

Do you believe in God? What keeps you going?

@fishbone , @glynis , @billie48 , @Ed209 , @Jazzer :
You truly make a difference in this forum and I thank you very much for being and staying positive despite the daily struggles. And thank you for offering an alternate perspective to the usual doom and gloom. Many of your posts helped and still help me tremendously when needed.
