What's new

I always type detailed lists of my symptoms and then print them out before every medical appointment. It's become a pointless exercise because the doctors never know how to help me. I may as well put a new header on the top of my list that says, "Dear Santa, here's a list of my symptoms. For Christmas, please make all of them go away. I've been a very good girl this year."

The way I see it, Santa has an equal or better chance of helping me, and there won't be any insurance copays or deductibles involved. It couldn't hurt to ask.

It's that time of year again :--)

Merry Christmas to all my tinni pals, and a special shoutout to @tpj

2026; a new year, new prospects, and we keep moving forward.

Much love to you all X

A simple hearing test made my T &H symptoms much worse. Almost 3 weeks now and ears still burn, constant sensations on skull and in my face. Will try to get my hands on Otalgan in the Netherlands. Maybe this can give me some relief.

Have been feeling pretty good lately. Hyperacusis is my main issue now. I can mentally block out the tinnitus sound. Today we were on a meeting and i decided to try it after 20 minutes without earplugs because i was sitting far away from the speaker. Everyone (around 35 people) started laughing LOUDLY so i sent them back in again. Sadly a little spike from it but i hope its just temporary.

basically gotta live like a hermit til there's a treatment/cure - nice
