    It fills me with so much jealousy, and then anger, because it reminds me of how much has been taken from me.

    @Foamearplugssuck this 1000%. My husband goes about his work from home days that also include exercising, listening to music, laughing, talking on the phone, and napping on the couch with TV on. It’s like a window to my past life every freaking day.

    What I will say though, it only pushes me more to improve. To find some way, some intervention, something to help me get back to being able to live my life again. I have no other choice, I’ve got my babies (embryos) waiting on ice for me. This moma is not going down without a fight, and I honestly pay tribute to Marin’s success story to keep me going.

    True, even tough I feel more sorry for my kids than myself

    @Pistolpete my sympathy goes out to you and all who have children while suffering from this crap. I can’t imagine. That’s why I’m going to literally throw everything at the wall (TRT, functional medicine, diet, brain retraining) and see if anything sticks before I move forward with trying to build our family.

    I sometimes wonder if trying «everything» actually have made me worse. I feel as if tinnitus actually feeds on desperation, and trying so hard to get better means you monitor and focus a lot on the sounds. If only I could just accept it and try to live my life somehow with tinnitus, things might slowly get better. Easier said than done….

    @Pistolpete I can understand that thought process. For me, I don’t need to be “cured” with no tinnitus. My goal is to minimize reactivity and hopefully eliminate some tones. My baseline is not loud, so if I just have a couple tones stay low and not so reactive I can definitely learn to live with that. I also think in the next 1-3 years many will find relief they never could before with things coming our way.
