      Amazing achievement... and long may you reign. Although I do not visit the site often, it is great to keep in touch... You were there for me when I needed you. Here's to another five years and more definitive cures for tinnitus. Best wishes, Gwen

      Thank you so much, Markku. If in this life we will be lucky enough to be cured of this, I swear we will have to have all a big party. As hard as this is, I have learned a lot. A big hug

      Today Tinnitus Talk turns five years old. In a month it will be six years of tinnitus for me. Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

        It would a great thing if this site were to be made obsolete by the effective treatment of all the forms of tinnitus; but until that day this is a great place to be.

        @AnxiousJon. This site would be renamed "Massive Party Talk." };-)

      Merry Christmas Markku. I hope your well and your life is filled with peace and joy. Things have been better for me overall; however tinnitus can still present days of affliction. The Lord has been kind to me and given me a lot of good days this year, where tinnitus did not bother me.

        Hey man, as it happens, I've actually been thinking about you but I didn't want to inadvertently bother you or appear as nosy. Sorry to hear about your rough tinnitus day — I'm unfortunately familiar with those, lately too, so I definitely share your pain.

        I've been trying to count my blessings, in hopes of diverting my mind from getting too caught up in the bad stuff, but it is hard. It is hard. Hopefully your Sunday evening will be a little better. Let's stay in touch! You also have my e-mail address if you would like to exchange thoughts at any point in time.

        Be well and take care.

      There's an actual fly somewhere here, I can hear it but can't seem to find it. Annoying. Going to find it now.

      Is this the best way to send a private message to another member?
      1. Markku
        Markku
        Definitely not. Everyone can read these, so more private stuff shouldn't go into this section.

        If you'd like to private message someone, start a conversation with them by going to their profile -> Information -> "Start a Conversation".

        Hope this helps,
