Hi Everyone

Hey All,

I thought it was about time to introduce myself.

I'm Philippe or Pipo, I'm 26 and in my last year of undergrads (Phil/Poli major), studying in Vancouver.
I have T since almost 4 weeks now due to a concert I attended. I actually did experience t before but only for about 3 or 4 days, that was when I was in the military (mandatory in Switz), but faded and forgot about it.
My t is not bothersome during the day but is affecting my sleeping severely. I do tend to get no more than 4 hours of straight sleep a night, sometimes I manage to fall back a sleep but not for long and not very deep.
Honestly I am quite a bit scared because I feel this is starting to affect my performance at school and well-being in general. I dropped some classes this term so I would not get stressed out too much but hope to be able to cope with this before the beginning of the next and hopefully last term.

I stopped smoking for about ten days after first week of t, unfortunately the bad habit has caught up with me once again.

To be honest, I hope I did not come to stay! But most likely I will ;-) :-(

Cheers

 

btw I have about two distinct t sounds i can make out. In my left ear I have a pronounce low frequency and reappearing buzz while at the same time I have a very high pitched buzzing sound in both of my ears… the latter is the one, to my best understanding, which wakes me from my sleep.

 

Thanks for your kind words Karen. I hope you are doing fine.

Best

Pipo
