Hi @Marrku Can you tell me how to edit an old post of mine please? Thanks Relax1

Hi All Update - Had a rough night last night, couldn't get to sleep. Tried reassuring myself, as before, that the T is a delusion, illusion, hallucination etc. Didn't work and I was going to take Benzos, just to get to sleep. However, instead, for whatever reason, went downstairs and looked...

Hi the netherlands Bad luck being so close to the fireworks when they went off. It's certainly not your fault you now have T. But, you seem to be managing well and hopefully the T should continue to diminish. So, if possible, try and protect your ears from now on. All the best. Relax1

Hi @GregCA Yes, thinking it was an Actual Sound, especially after the spike, made me very anxious and led me to benzos, in order to sleep. So, I'm extremely pleased that I tried looking at it from another perspective and decided since it wasn't an ACTUAL Sound, then it was an ILLUSION, that...

Hi @Tony Phylactou Thanks for showing an interest in another way of looking at T. As I say in my other threads, there is of course 'something' there. However, since re-defining whatever it was as NOT a Sound/Noise at all, the anxiety that I showed for the last 4 years, since the spike...

Hi All Thanks for showing an interest in finding out more on why my T is no longer there. From my early 30's, I started to note a background 'sssss'. Straightaway, I attributed this sound to T, as some of my peers had related something similar. I can say that, initially, I could completely...

Hi @UKBloke Thanks for getting back with some points. I didn't proceed with neuromodulation. 4 years ago, when the spike showed, I tried a lot of the usual stuff that people mention. Ginkgo biloba for example, to no avail. I remember spending a lot of money at the Tinnitus Clinic in London...

Hi acute Ok, I'll try and expand on the reason for my success. Which, basically is this. I went from someone who was VERY anxious about the spike 4 years ago, needing benzos to sleep, to someone who is not anxious any more. Once I understood that it was IMPOSSIBLE to have a sound without a...

Hi friend74 No benzo withdrawal, as I was expecting Possibly because I was careful to limit my benzos to just 4 nights a week? It was always noticeable , if I stopped to register it But, keeping busy etc, as we all do, certainly helped! Now it's gone, probably because I have 're-written' the...

Hi @Eek Your post and my reply 'disappeared' after I clicked 'post reply'! Try again please Relax1

Hi All For what it's worth. I know there are some who don't believe anything, that strays, even minutely, from their entrenched mindset. I too was sceptical about finding a solution for long standing tinnitus and I let it defeat me and accepted benzos, just to get to sleep. However, are...

Hi All I first noticed tinnitus in my early 30's, 70 now. Probably caused by the very loud music I, in my 20's and everyone else, listened to in the early 70's discos! Anyway, I resigned myself to it and coped reasonably well till age 66, when it ramped up to a new, much higher level...

Thanks all for your helpful contributions I had my major surgery on Thursday 2 Feb I had no choice in either the anaesthetic or initial painkillers I was put on a Fentanyl pump for 4 days and, for some reason,the T in my R side disappeared for the first 2 days!! It reappeared on the 3rd day when...

@Wishful - thank you for your reply and sorry to hear your T started 7 days after your patch was put on. What drug was in this patch please btw? @Tweaker - thank you very much for your helpful reply. Sorry to hear about your increased H which thankfully settled down after a few days. What...

Hello. I am due to have major surgery. I would be grateful to know if anybody has had any experience (good or bad) of what effect the anaesthesia and painkillers had on their T? Thank you very much relax1
