I always thought, because of what I had been hearing, that the senior years would be the golden years. Oct 25, 2023

      20-25% THC cannabis lowers my T to a very quiet hiss after the 1st half hour of a 90's+ heart rate. After that, it's so nice!

        If you find something that works, regardless of what it is. You got to roll with it

        Ever try edibles? I haven't done Cannabis, but I've tried the THC Indica edibles (from 2.5 to 10g at different times) and D8 THC (up to 50mg or so at night). Heart rate went up on reg THC but didn't seem to help or hurt my tinnitus or sleep, but seemed my anxiety was worse after a while. The D8 THC taken at large dose too close to morning made me feel terrible that morning for hours.

      Lenire: Sorry you must pay $4,000 for our help or you can go live with loud hissing in your ears until the time comes for me to be gone.

        I think you got that wrong, you pay $4000 and then get to live the rest of your life with the loud hissing in your ears

        ajc, I am not a special case because I am poor, I am a sufferer of Tinnitus who hates it when the rich and wealthy tell me to take hike until I have 4 grand. I'll stay crazy on T.

        I walk with a cane, am half blind, fought in Nam for 2 years, have very poor balance from T and I will not give some rich person 4 grand who thinks he's better than I.
        Keep your damn machines Lenire!

      Lunesta no longer puts me to sleep. Gabapentin stopped working for sleep and nortriptyline quit working for sleep as well. Sleep? LOl.

    Tinnitus Since:
    2013
    Cause of Tinnitus:
    Loud machines, music, partying in front of band PA systems.
    CNC Machinist for 11 years and Former Drug and alcohol counselor for 26 years. I ran 4 halfway houses for 10 years as well.

    Tinnitus is the most aggravating thing I have ever come across in my life. It gets so bad I have suicidal ideations.
    How can I live with VERY LOUD HISSING IN MY HEAD DAILY?
    I am alone because of T. I can't go visit people and tell them to quiet down or shut up the kids. So I sit here and watch closed caption TV all by my lonesome.
    I put on sound-proof headphones and live under my rock.
    I'm sick of seeing ENT's, Docs period. They can't do shit.
    The actual T clinics here in Minneapolis want $500 cash up front before they will talk to you.

    I am thinking about "living in van down by the river" and smoking fat joints of ganja until it's ok to come out of my van.
