Melike

Hugs to you :( I sure as hell hope my monthly friend is just on its way, cause my T is also somewhat worse today (hormones?)

Oh, thanks TheDanishGirl. It is always the same story for me, screaming T which starts 3-4 days before my period until the 2nd-3rd day of my period.

I hate PMS. Please hurry up my little ovarium. Come ooooon :( @TheDanishGirlKD

Mine is coming too and it's already amping things up. Hugs!

Super happy for you! Mine is fading to the point I only notice it in quiet places too. I hope in another 6 months or so we can both post our success stories here.

@jjflyman Yess ! I hope both of us a continued improvement. I can't wait to read your success story !

No, I've started to notice it just after I learnt what exactly is VS. I am not quite sure if it is VS. I don't see little black/white dots, it looks like a jumping/bouncing vision or maybe VS with reaaaally large dots. Sky looks clear, also when I close my eyes, it is absolute darkness. I don't know. @Rubenslash

@Rubenslash It disappears when I look at objects from a closer distance. Maybe something to do with a focusing problem. My mother and BF also say they see it too, but I am not sure we see the same thing.

I have been getting flashes of light on the sides of my eyes for a few weeks. It might be visual snow? I thought it was maybe due to a med I was on. I did not know it could related to having Tinnitus.

@Michael Leigh Oh, that would be very lovely and I could also send you a sample of mixed pickle as a bonus :). They make me drool already now. But I have to wait until November to open the bottles :/

Although I like hot sauces, I think I need my head to taste those delicious pickles. Lol.

lol Melike. We have a lot in common. Tinnitus, opera and classical music and now hot pickle. Where will this end lol? It is my birthday in November I’m a Saggi so looking forward to sampling your mixed pickle. If you don’t mind I’ll contact you by PM?
Michael

Lol, go ahead Michael :D @Michael Leigh

For the last and final time the term is a saying a (euphemism) it does not mean to "skin a cat". I'm sorry if you don't understand I'm sure other people would. I have a pet cat and would never dream of skinning her I assure you. lol

I guess Paul is making fun of you Michael. British humour ! ;)

I did suspect Paul was making fun of me Foncky and I even telephoned Glynis as she's a brit and we had a really good laugh about it. I explained that it has nothing to do with skinning a cat, yet Paul was convinced otherwise which led me to believe he knew all along what I really meant. I just played along....Hope you are keeping well.

That's good Melike if music is played in the background. I hope that you find it helpful
Take care.
Michael

@Michael Leigh Thank you so much Michael ! Also we've started to practice some insanely difficult yoga poses these days,so most of the time I only try to breathe and not to die, I can't even hear my T LOL.

Just make sure you don't get too tangled up in those yoga poses, as you might not be able to get undone...lol Wish you the best of luck with it.
Michael

I feel that way too! When we can put this behind us, the everyday things that life throws at us won't matter.

@jjflyman Yes! It has to be some real trouble to hit me as strong as T did. I hope life doesn't surprise me again lol.

I have a pretty demanding job and my ears are ringing like crazy. I am sure you will be fine as well, if you are concentrating on something you wont notice the T

@Rubenslash, what do you do for a living?

@Kolisar I'll try that definitely. But I have no hope. They have an unnecessarily strict policy for plagiarism & cheating during exams. But I'll try to talk to my ENT to get in contact with them. Thanks a lot again !

Pray for you Melike :(

I hope that you get what you are asking for.

@TheDanishGirlKD Oh, I certainly didn't want to mean that TheDanishGirl, I am so sorry. I truly believe that yours will continue to improve. The road may be a little lumpy bumpy, but what you experience is a great sign no matter what possible little increase you get on the road. Its just..I am not that sure about my journey....

Where are you on holiday?

My boyfriend's hometown. Eskişehir in Turkey. Not so fancy.

Bende anliyamiyorum, hicbir yerde comment yada respond falan yazmiyor :(

Facebook'tan konuşabiliriz istiyosan ya da buradan yaz ama azcık garip gibi.

tmm faceden konusalim. soy ismin ne? Benim ismim Salih Can Ucar, Groningen de oturuyorum.

@Carlyi thanks a lot ! did you benefit from them?

Hello Melike, I have just registered to this forum to ask you a question about the TMJ exercises. Does it helps you? Please let me know.

I just made a post in "Introduce" and you can see my story.

Thanks in advance,

Jordy.

@Jordy Hey Jordy, welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately, I haven't started doing them yet. :/ But I will, as soon as possible.

And yet, fight you will. For yourself and the ones you love. Because what is the alternative? You can't give up! I want to be normal too. Ind i hope i will be. But if that doesn't happen, i will still live my life as best as i can. There are still so many things i want to do! I will just have to find a way to do them despite that bugger. And so you will. I believe that :)

I know for a fact, that absolutely nothing in this life is 100% sure. Well ... maybe one thing is ... but we are not there yet ;) So focus your thoughts on the things you like and the ones you love. Discover a whole new world if you must. And if you need to talk with someone "not normal", i am always there ;))

@CaRd Thanks Zhivko..Everytime I feel down, I go back and re-read what you have written here. I just read a member's post who has lost a loved one recently and he/she was saying that he/she could live happily even with T if that person was still alive. He/she is right. You are right.

@Tinker Bell oh, thank you for being this nice and thoughtful <3 I still feel like in a roller coaster, one day %80 of my problems are gone, other day they are back with full force. Trying not to analyze too much and to keep myself busy.

Well, for the interview, they haven't called me back yet but...I try to keep my hope alive :)

@Tinker Bell And yes! I have actually started to hear more and more stories like that and I believe it is more than true that once people get better, they just don't try to inform other sufferers. They just move on. They are not on this website, they are outside, living beautiful lives.

Absolutely. I'm a bit superstitious, too. If I improve, I'd be too nervous to jinx myself by posting anything!

Maybe it seems like that because you focus on your T. too much. Sometimes im in a silent room and think: the T. doesn't sound so loud today, than i focus on it and it sounds louder again

Agreed. It needs some time to "kick in" here as well.
I am wondering if it has gotten worse than 6 months ago, sometimes its hard to compare..

Yes, I think so....I have a hard time noticing change in my T, I cycle between "its gotten better", "its the same", and "its a little worse" several times a week, sometimes even several times a day.

Good luck! ;)

You will be fine! They would be lucky to have you!

@Rubenslash thanks a lot ! :)

@Rosemerry thanks Rosemerry <3 You are always so supportive of me :)

Oh and of course a spiking-screaming T. I thought I was finally improving after 10 days of nearly silent Tinnitus.

I feel tinnitus is like a wave, at least for me.

@JurgenG I can't believe Tinnitus is my last problem at the moment. It is a good and bad thing at the same time.

@Rosemerry Due to the awesomeness of residual inhibition, I'm a bit better but I think my T is getting reactive nowadays.. Everytime I get back home from outside, it is WAY louder. I'm scared and I hope I don't develop H on top of all of that.

your ears are sore by the many noises, i think. have that too. After two hours in a place not so full of noises, it becomes better.

I've noticed mine seems louder after being out for the day, too, but I often attribute that to simply that I've been busy and in an environment where my T is better ignored because my mind is occupied.

@Casper, you are absolutely right ! It seems a bit lower today and that validates your words. I think I need more time to truly understand that this process is certainly not a linear one and to not get freaked out with spikes no matter how much time they last. Thanks again ^^

@Melike, you're absolutely right. If you go through the success stories, you'll notice that almost everyone that recovered from long-term T confirms this. I like to keep this picture on my phone to remind me of this during bad times (left is our perception, right is reality):

Everybody reading this, I was totally wrong. It subsided.

How many months mean 'new'?

I feel you. Sometimes I think it's over, and then its on again..

@JurgenG Yeah. Getting slapped in the face for the 103048. time in such a short time period. :/

Oh gross.

Keeping you in my thoughts!

Good luck Melike

@Carlyi thanks Carlyi

Selam. Turkiyede de yapilan en ileri tedavi rTMS tedavisi. Iyilesme oranlari yuksek. Hollandaya gore daha iyi tedaviler var diye biliyorum. Isitme yollarindaki bozulmaya gore iyilesme sansiniz olabilir. Ben Ahmet Sirin'e gitmistim bi arastir istersen. Infection gecince gecme ihtimali var.

Tmm Sagol Melike I will check him out thanks, I think my ear is making sounds because the eardrum is a little bit open and I have infection, like my brain/ear are giving errors to my ear that it isnt working correctly like before. There keep coming yellow things out.. its so disgusting cok kokuyor. I think you can be cured also if you stress less and just to not listen to the sound. Cok gecmis olsun!!!!!
