      we started the 2010s with so much hope love n inspiration n by the tail end of the 2010's,
      we were suffering tortured and sick. I say all that to say Your death will not be in vain brother thats a promise. you didnt sign up for this NONE of us did. also upon research I see Cipro is notoriously known for causing Tinnitus. You will always be a Brother and i mean that from the bottom of my heart.

      Even tho i was younger than u i got tinnitus 1 year after you. If only we could turn back time. I can tell We both didnt think our 2010s was going 2 turn out like this.12-31-2009 we were living our best lives ready 2 start the decade. I was just beginning my career and you was at the end of yours. u was ready to retire 2 enjoy the beautiful things. and not even 5 years later there we were home bounded suffering.

    Tinnitus Since:
    2012
    Cause of Tinnitus:
    I believe it was meds and stress
    A series of events led to my status.
    During this time I took Cipro for a stomach problem. This was followed by Sertraline and Lexa Pro. I ended up with Vertigo. Some days later I experienced the first tone of T. The H came later.
    I ended up with horrific anxiety. Im going on three years.
    I got habituated then the T/H got worse. Im having big trouble getting used to the new level. I got laid off and Im having trouble working much less leaving the house. Ive tried T retraining (to expensive) Homeopathic,
    acupuncture, and ENTs. The only thing that works is getting out of the house and leave on little local trips and meds. I love hate the meds.
    Addiction is a real bummer. I have chronic insomnia from the illness.
    I feel that's the worst part of this experience.

    A few years ago life was great. I was working, in love, had a beautiful ranch in Northern Mexico (pure wilderness) playing good guitar music, been playing since I was a kid. I stopped playing electric guitar in my mid 20s so I dont feel it was music that caused the T/H. Ive only played acustic guitars. I always knew that health was a key to a happy life.
    I ate good food, didn't drink or smoke -only smoked pot once in a blue moon.
    My girlfriend begged me not to take the Cipro. I should have just gone through the illness and taken pro-biotics. They call Tinnitus a secondary nueropathy, I call it a different kind of hell. Ive seen beauty
    greatness, wondrous nature and beautiful people Tinnitus cant take that away.

    I consider everyone on Tinnitus Talk a friend, brother and sister.
    God bless.
