Yet Another Year Is Gone (Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays...!)

Hi,

I would like to wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to people who celebrate those

Cheers folks!

 

Markku, where would we be without you? What you have accomplished is amazing; you have brought people from all over the word together to comfort, educate and support each other. I was telling my audiologist today about this board, that it is an intelligent and respectful online community so different from many others.

You and everyone else here got me through my early dark days.

 

Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas xx

Let's hope 2014 brings news and help for people with T so we can truly look forward to peace on earth love to everyone xxx Cher

 

I totally agree, @Markku , you're the man! Thanks for all the hard work and your dedication towards this community! It really means a lot And thanks to everyone else that provides information and support!

 

I had a little problem putting up the outdoor lights this year.....

 

My dog, Toby. is so excited about Santa coming that he can barely sit still!...

 

Well here we are nearly and other year done - I've been a little busy woth work and teenager daughters etc somehow my T has become less troublesome - I've had a blip though this year 2014 I excepted T moved on with it but half way through the year I struggled with sleep again from no where suddenly sleep was my battle I pushed through feeling shocking at times back on zopiclone to get me some sleep then one weekend I slept ok - omg - I can do this sleep thing on my own !

Been a tough 3-4 months but I'm back on track ok a little help with mirtazipine but I'm doing ok again

I've checked in a few times to catch up with old friends sorry I've not been around so much on TT

Sending all my T family huge Christmas best wishes and love here's to 2015 and happy times xxx Cher xx

 

What?! It's 2014? I thought It was still 2004

 

Thank you Karen and best wishes for a fab Christmas to you xx

 

Hi hi hi, @Cher69! I have missed you and thought of you often. So I have finished with my Neuromonics; I definitely am much improved over a year, although sleep is a big issue, just like you. I had insomnia before T, so I am spending next year working on my sleep problems, which seem to be neurological vs. sleep apnea type (or even caused by tinnitus, although T has made it worse). But for now: I am done with tinnitus treatments. Just gonna live with it for a bit and see how it feels.

Happy holidays and hugs to you, your hubby, your daughters... oh, and Dylan, of course!
xxoo, Diane

 

Me too! My arm is still in a sling from spraining my elbow.

Love that picture!!!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

I will try to get a picture one of my puppies in their Santa suits!

 

I'll look forward to that.

A "Merry Christmas" to you and the family from Snoopy, Woodstock and me...

 

Merry Christmas to all and wouldn't it we fabulous if we all had a SILENT night. Hope 2015 brings us all a better year!

 

Hope is a very elusive gift to find in what appears to be a hopeless situation. Markkus, you and your creation have given so many that hope. You are saving lives (I know first hand ). Thank you ever so much. Mohammed is moving the Mountain! Happy Holidays to All!

 

Hello my TT Friends and Family!! Despite my recent absence from TT, I still care for and support you all!! I know for some (maybe many) this may sound tough or impossible, but I challenge you (& myself) to enjoy the holidays to the best of your ability DESPITE your T!! Tinnitus tends to rob us of joy and happiness. Buy, even if just for just a few days, especially if among friends and family, lets all do our best to ENJOY life during this season. It's hard and takes effort, but it IS possible!

Happy Holidays and Thank You Markku, Steve and all of you who have made this forum such a precious resource!!!! Blessings to you and to all here on TT who are battling T. You WILL be victorious!!

Jeff

 

Happy Christmas @LadyDi here is a pic of my boy Dylan tonight next to our tree xx.sending huge Xmas best wishes to all TT friends x

 

I also want to wish everyone a happy holidays get though it is tough . II know my ears are screaming right nowbut I have to put on a happy face for my kids.

 

Same for me. My head is buzzing like always. But I wanted my family having a great day. Suffering can wait for one day. So played new games on the Xbox with my sons.

 

I know it's tough man!!! But you can do it!!! All the best to you George!!!

 

Martin, I know you are having a really hard time bro!! I have been there and it totally sucks! BUT you are right, suffering can wait, and hopefully soon it will wait for more than a day!! It finally has for me, and I pray it will abate for you soon my friend!!! Merry Christmas and may the New Year bring you relief and joy!!!

 

Thanks my friend. Your posts helped me a lot in the beginning, and still help.
Your T started exactly one year before me. How do you feel now?
Can you put your T into the background? Life normal again?

BTW, when my wife read that you live in "La Jolla", she said: Hey, we were there already. One of our two visits in the States.

 

Hey Martin (which is actually my last name!!),

My T is still with me for sure, but it doesn't rule my life! It is a nuisance, but no debilitating. Once in awhile I have a bad day and let it get to me, but I recover quickly and move on. I am determined to not let it own me! And I am winning, and I am confident YOU WILL TOO!! When I was at my lowest, I NEVER thought I would be where I am now. So cling to HOPE my friend!! It will happen. Don't give in!! Just conquer one day at a time brother!

Yup, beautiful La Jolla is my home. I love it! I hope you enjoyed your visit, and hope you will visit again!! If you do, let me know, I'll buy the first round!!!

Peace to you and your family!!

 

Merry Christmas to you and yours too from myself and my fur kids!!
(Well, the pups anyway. Kitties don't like to get dressed up.)

 

He's a sweetie!!!

Merry Christmas to Everyone!!

 

Such a good looking dog. How lucky you are. I love dogs; in fact, almost any animal, but dogs are my favorite. When I retire, I plan to get one. Your's looks like a winner. Great name, Toby. The photo made me smile.
