derpytia

same to you derpytia

Wonder what would happen if a guy took it?

I am glad it helps you. :)

@Sailboardman well considering its basically a feminine hormone regulator, I'd say nothing. Might be something for men with testosterone in it?

Damn pollen

I've had so many T tones that I stopped keeping track of them. Hate it.

My life is a movie, filmed in "Screech-o-rama."

@snow86, good movie, "The Tone Collector." Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.

I'm just getting over a nasty virus! Feel better Derp!

It's true: guys like girl-nerds

What defines a nerd?. Everybody has their own quirks.

@Sailboardman maybe lol!
@Blackbird26 @John G I play dungeons and dragons, read tolkien books (YES ALL OF THEM) for fun, have a flight rising account, roleplay characters online, and play video/computer games. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Does wearing glasses also count? lol

So you've become a dragon lady! };-)

Ayup!

Your doc is a moron. You should find a new doctor that knows what they are talking about

@John G, my doc is a pretty smart guy. One of the few doctors I haven't had a problem with yet. But it's true. Everyone on my mom's side of the family is from Ashkenazi Jewish heritage and everyone has gotten cancer at some point in their lifetime, especially female descendants including my mom's mom and my great grandmother who died from it. There is a HUGE chance that my mother and I will get it.

And then you might not. it's common that cancer skips generations.

I could use a big chunk of that right now!

@Sailboardman all the hugs and well wishes for you!

Cannot begin to tell you how many articles are put out by the press around the world saying "but don't worry people with tinnitus aren't bothered by it after awhile". habituation doesn't always mean we aren't bothered by it. it means we have somehow managed to be productive or functional to some degree despite our T. It's so misleading when they say we aren't bothered by it. No wonder the world doesn't care about us.

That's why there's no cure yet.

That's because, only 2 million out of 50 million in the US, have debilitating Tinnitus. Only 6 million, seek medical attention. So, 42 million, don't give a shit! Pussycat T, versus Tiger T.

Makes you wonder how all dentist's don't have T? Those drills, are high pitched, demons.

When it rains, it pours! }:-(

Hey it's better than the alternative right? The other side of the grass.

Tinnitus is Mr. Scrooge in disguise!

I sure hope Santa brings me that anti-tinnitus, vanishing cream I asked for. Sure would be nice, to actually have peace on earth for 2016!

I know the harsh feeling it is to have to miss out on events because of stupid T but hang in there

I know you still can hear your T with earplugs, but you should go to the musical and wear some earplugs. Who cares what others will think, and enjoy a night out.

you can go to both with earplugs...

Bombing people is more fun apparently

And the people that survive the bombing , will probably get T

What is a lifetime? For you or me it could be 24 more hrs..maybe 2? Life is now. If you can't find a way to make the best of the worst then sadly you're fucked. No point pinning hopes onto a future that may or may not even happen. Just how I cope with my chronic pain and t and h.

I do think most of us will have relief in our lifetime. However, I would not say the same for a cure...

I think so. I have been reading some great stuff in the medical journals that are behind paywalls. Also there is a doctor who is currently working on regenerating the hair cells thru stem cell therapy. But its a decade away. But the wheels ARE turning out there. No doubt about it.

Awful. I keep habituating and then keep getting increases and have to rehab all over again. I can't win and it's only been a year and a half. I have the rest of my life to deal with this cycle and I don't think I can handle it.

I really u derstand what you are going through.I can't habituate and its been almost 3 years.my tinnitus fluctuates.has gotten so bad before I could feel my whole head buzzing and vibrating.I ended up in ER for that and they of course can't do anything .I pray for some miracle
for us!!I hope you get it under control I know its hard but I'm here if ya need to talk or vent!!! We all are here!!!

Derpytia, you cannot predict your future. I have met 2 people who have lost their T in a few years time. It could happen to you, if you keep it together. This is a daily battle for sure, but try to win the war, in the long run. I know it sucks big time, and life seems dismal, but try to live day by day as I do! You can make it girl!

Same here it's been hell today.

I feel ya girl!

it will get better...

So sorry, Derpytia. That happened to me, too. It should eventually heal itself, but in the meantime, take care!

Very painful. I know I've had one.

Thanks guys! I broke the middle toe on my left foot. Makes walking very awkward. Luckily it's not a big break and I only broke the top bone. It doesn't hurt as bad as it could. :) I don't even have to take pain meds. :)

Another Sean ill be happy to join other wise I may be alone forever :(

Find someone who likes quiet. Problem solved!

I feel the exact same way lately. I was just thinking about this today.

Like it's okay if they want to be hopeful but do not drag everyone else on the hope train and assure people that they are correct when they have no way of knowing only to have everyone be put back in a horrible state of mind when things don't work out.

I was one of the Autifony fans and the failure was a HUGE disappointment for me. Now I'm hoping to habituate sooner than later, because I've been once there. The autifony this affair gave me a giant setback, back to square zero again. Mind is powerful. Hope you are doing well, sometimes I also think that I will never be happy again and think on ending it all, but we need to be patient and hopeful.

Btw you are referring to the new SF0034 and AM102, right? In my opinion, one is just a modified trobalt with probably the same side effects and the other will be another intratympanic injection for acute cases. Nothing really hopeful for us, chronic sufferers. I've been checking the trobalt participants "trials" and it looks like it loses potency if your T is older than 2.5-3 years.

Its also full of nice surprises , dont forget:)
