    Look at the Frequency Theraputics thread.

    There are currently some promising options coming out within the next 3-5 years...

    You are almost cured, and if that's not the case, that will most likely happen over the next 12 months. So it's somewhat assholian for you to say the above to the people for whom that FX thing is their last and only hope.
    I agree with you, by the way...

    @Bill Bauer I agree. I am an asshole for saying this. IMO for the vast majority things do get better. If that is any consolation for my words. Thanks for keeping it real though.

    It can be far worse than the light ring you had. I was you. Giving up is not an option warranted just because it's easier. If yours was unlivable the only way you'd get out of bed would be with hope.
    Your opinion means quite little unless you have some kind of real grasp and understanding of the current research.

    Your posts are showing a tinnitus of 0-4 out of 10. Some dudes here including myself sit at around 4-8, and we don't make statements like this. Fx-322 is promising, and most likely will drop our levels to livable or cure.

    @asey20 hang in buddy. I know how it feels to see no light at the end of the tunnel. I was a bit upset about your post to begin with, but then I thought, there’s no shame in posting how you truly feel - everyone has the right to vent. *hugs*

    @Ilias T it is promising, but is it curative? Not likely. Is it a step in the right direction? Absolutely. Is it exciting? Definitely.

    All I'm saying is that the optimism for fx-322 is overflowing. I'm glad people are getting excited over it, but don't put your eggs in one basket.

    For example, they know that amyloid deposits play a factor in dimentia, just like how ear hair cells play a factor in tinnitus. However when they use drugs that target these amyloid deposits, it doesn't necessarily lead to a substantial enough improvement. Otherwise dimentia will be cured or have effective treatments.

    Now, I am not saying this is a great analogy. However, it is important to consider these things...

    @Steph1710 Thank you for understanding. Venting is important part of getting through things.

    Just because I'm being a downer doesn't mean I don't want a cure or effectivetreatment. I want a cure or treatment for everything. I just hate to see excitement which could be leading to a dead end. Always good to be a little skeptical. Going on the fx-322 post these days is not even constructive anymore.
