Hey Brooklynfall! Just checking in to see how things have been with you! You left on a good note so hoping no news is good news but just wanted to check in!
Sadly I knew I would be back here some day. That it would get worse eventually, but I hoped it wouldn't. A simple thing I thought, a middle school orchestra concert, it shouldn't be to bad, and it wasn't until 4 days later. I still don't know if this is a spike or the new normal. Somewhat milder day yesterday, followed a terrible day, with reactivity and my brain just doesn't want to deal with it.
Hey marqualler, I've been looking through your posts and have been finding a lot of inspiration from you as a newbie tinnitus sufferer! Only being 23, I haven't found many people around me who understand and people like you make me feel a lot less alone and a lot more hopeful! I just wanted to reach out and let you know! Here's to a gentle and quiet 2025!!!
Seconds after the year change, I got a huge SBUTT that seemed to be coming from the center of the head. Then one ultra high pitched in the right ear. Now having a MEM episode. Great start.
Are you the same @MaximBrutii on Reddit? That posted about hydroxyzine? I just took my first pill and am freaking out, since I just got this mess from Wellbutrin in November, I've been pretty much an insomniac this week so… any advice or words of encouragement to ease my brain?
Hey Mark, in really struggling with my tinnitus at the moment and could do with a little hope. Did you see any improvement in the first 3 monthes or was it not until the 4/5 month point?
Well a positive if there is one to pull from this... The distortion or sound when I speak has gone away about 95%. T is still more reactive and piercing than before and its been humming in silence like crazy (that is an ongoing off and on thing), hopefully that's temporary as well... only time will tell. Don't get complacent is all I can say, no matter how well you think your doing it take minutes to undo it all.
I'm doing good right now, feeling normal and quiet. I'm not sure if drinking diluted DMSO plus putting some in my ear canal is helping? Time will tell.
