Yes! It was really fun

You went to an IMAX theatre and didn't spike??? That would have blown me to kingdom come dude, in quadruple protection

No, not imax. I didn’t wanna risk that at all

Totally get that even at my age with a family. That's why I ended up in these forums.

Yep.. nobody in my immediate circle anyways. Surprisingly though alot of people I know have it to some extent.

I stocked up on groceries before the weekend and haven't stepped foot outside since.

If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of chronic pain do you have?

I had a really bad injury. Living with more debilitations now because of this. Feel trapped in my body.

Right there with you.

Thank you so much! Not doing too ok but how are you? Love you too!

I read you can’t walk.
Why is that?
Sending hugs.

@Exit I can walk now but I’ve developed nerve pain. I’m going in the direction of assisted death soon. Just can’t take this all. Thank you for the hugs, back to you

I’m really sorry to hear this. I thought perhaps you had autoimmune arthritis or something like that which are treated with expensive Immune therapy. Hugs again.

Have you experienced Any fading/improvement, compared to how it was three months ago?

It was improving a little until a few days ago, after another loud noise exposure. I have to take a flight back home in a few weeks.

it's almost the exact 5-month date since I got my torodal injection. I can say that I feel that I have improved since then though. Last night, my room was almost dead silent, and I could only hear a faint hissing sound in my left ear. I'm starting to get back on my feet again, so hopefully it means I'll go back to normal soon. How are you holding up right now?

Don´t worry about such things, it´s only in the mind ... trust me i know that feeling, at one point i was even scared to run because of spikes... it´s your nervous system which causes the spikes.

It’s definitely louder. Thunder can be 120 db so I’m worried about a permanent spike. I was right near it outside.

It will get better, just calm your nerves. If you are feeling stressed and anxious about it, it probably comes from that.

If your hearing is the same then you have nothing to worry... it will get normal again

I understand. I had some of those same issues prior to tinnitus.

Hang on in there! I've had T for over 16 years.... In all that time it's got better and less intrusive to the point of not knowing I even had it. It's H kicking my arse these days!

I take Citalopram which has never impacted my T. I would avoid Benzos we're possible unless you need something short term to help you through.

Do you take benzos prn? I'm on several meds, a mood stabilizer, and Klonopin every couple days, but the mood stabilizer reduces the effects of the Klonopin. And thank you

Hey. I just take Citalopram but that's just for my current ear problem of H which is causing me serious anxiety. Before this I took nothing at all. Don't get me wrong when I first got T at 19 I struggled for 6 months but gradually it got better and I habituated. I still have T now but I only hear it when I tune in to it. Trust me when I say you will get to that point :) T will not ruin your life.

People here understand you. Hopefully you find strength. I recommend "Man's search for meaning" by Victor Frankl.

The first 3-4 months are the worst. Have you experienced any fading compared to how it was a 6 weeks ago?

Ty Bill. I have experienced some fading from the previous spike from months ago. I think I'm just at the point where after 4 years I don't want to deal with the constant fear of spikes at all anymore.

Forever mood
