Separate names with a comma.
Had an unusually low T month but then my ears were blasted this past Wednesday and I’m right back in T-hell.
@4Grace you are in good company. I can’t protect from noise either. My T fades with time and then I get complacent and mess myself up...
@MindOverMatter I think T is a nervous system problem and I only experience the pins and needles feeling in my legs when my T is screaming at me....
Anyone else experiencing tremulous legs + pins and needles throughout lower body while trying to sleep…maybe it’s not even connected to T?
T calms down after a shower and coffee. The T itself doesn’t really bother me so much. But it feels like the symptom of a medical condition.
Very low T…Every once in awhile I think I can hear silence but then when I listen hard I realize my ears are always ringing. For me that’s as good...
Woke again with tremulous legs and noticeably louder T. Not sure why this is occurring every morning. Seems like I’m sleeping ok…
T was el screamo on Friday but decided to take the weekend off. What a wonderful feeling! I just wish it could last…
Tinnitus is so tiring. Hard to truly understand the meaning of 24/7 until you live it!
Exercise is just as important for mental health as physical wellbeing…glad to hear you are back at it
Human capacity for adaptation is astonishing. As loud as my ears are ringing, it somehow just feels normal again!
@BrOKeN_1 and @Jammer lol
T is back screaming at me today. Maybe my T is aggravated by the start the work week!
I wonder if there’s a connection between antihistamines and decreased tinnitus.
T was pretty mellow today, probably 2 or 3 out of 10. I spent most of the day avoiding situations that would antagonize it…
Ah…nothing like that T alarm bell first thing in the morning that grabs you by the throat and shouts “wake the F up!”
I’ve had long periods of horrific. I’ll definitely take any breaks in can get at this point!
@L along the way All great advice. I especially like what you said about shifting from the head to the body. This is very true for me as well....
Seriously wonder how many years this condition has taken off our lives collectively…I bet when added up, T is in competition with cancer.
T calmed down this evening to a livable level. I hope the torturer didn’t just leave the room temporarily to go sharpen some more tools!
@L along the way that is a very good observation. I reached the place of true acceptance several times now and it is more of a peaceful whole...
Feeling some chest pain recently...I think that's a good sign that my problems with tinnitus might be resolved in the near future...right?
So sorry to hear...that is really rough on top of having bad tinnitus...
Work gives me a task to focus on and actually makes the day pass by more quickly. I dread the weekends when my T is bad.
Yeah...got the same thing going on as well. It is truly astonishing how loud it is right now! Feels like my brain is short circuiting. Hope...
@Jammer yep…and mine has quickly moved in that direction. As long as I can sleep though, I will survive it again…
Thanks @gameover I might request that my handle be changed to Prometheus because it would better suit my experience! I’m fairly confident that...
Not preaching on my last post BTW…just reminding myself how to survive today
The only way to live with T is to embrace it as if you chose it. Resistance is futile and only causes more pain.
What do you mean by distortions? I had about a week back when I first messed up my ears in 2017 where everything sounded like it was going...
I know the feeling.
Reactivity is my enemy as well. I don’t mind wearing earplugs and letting my T dominate the sound field. It’s the T competing with external...
So fucking tired of this rollercoaster…I’m right back to where I was summer of 21 and winter of 17. What’s the point?
Went to a wedding yesterday. I stayed outside the dance party the whole night and my ears are still ringing louder this morning. WTF?
@Jammer I don’t mind the T as much as the reactivity to external sounds and the fact that I get injured so easily. I would love to be able to go...
I wish I was completely deaf…I’m tired of sound
I think I have a sound allergy
@Pixelito recently yes. This is new though. In the past I would injure them and they would scream for months and then slowly they would resolve....
@RunningMan I know what you mean about listening to music. It still sounds ok to me at very low volumes but I never know what level will start my...
All great tunes! My favorite to play was always La Villa. Such an epic! I miss those days. I don’t think I’ll ever play another Rush song...
Mine never used to be like this. It is a new stage for me I guess.
Had a low T day. Not sure why but it was a welcome relief from the past few days where it was off the hook loud.
Yeah…makes no sense but, maybe it’s because I always feel safe with them in.
Same here…mine is seriously pissed off about something!
@steifzug that just means you have a good stomach for stress and anxiety. I only gain weight when I’m relaxed.
This tinnitus anxiety diet is really effective! I’m already back down to my high school weight!
@streifzug I appreciate your kind words. I am getting better at not letting it utterly destroy me but I’m still struggling with this like...
Sure doesn’t take much to get my ears absolutely screaming. I just don’t get it…
Starting to turn the tide with regard to controlling my reaction to T.
Slept with ear plugs last night. It was a smoother awakening experience. Didn’t have the electric cattle prod to the spinal cord per usual.
Earplugs make me feel warm a fuzzy. Wish I could just leave them in all the time…but I know the downside. Severe hyperacusis is lurking!
@ZFire that thread is hilarious. Thanks for sharing. I had a few good laughs. I doubt the banana actually made a difference but I’ll try it...
@crescentsky that sounds like my story for many years. This recent time though, it’s weird but I have no anger, self pity or resentment about...
Yesterday was a really low T day! Only major change I made was eating a banana. T came back in full force in the middle if the night though
@gameover i totally understand where you are. It draws all kinds of emotions out of you. I’ve dealt with this so long now though that I’ve...
@RunningMan and @Joshua Macleod thanks for your feedback. The hardest part of dealing with T for me is lack of good sleep. Yesterday was a...
Tinnitus is my whole body alarm clock. I don’t even have to set an alarm anymore, I just jolt awake.
As miserable as this feels, I somehow find it amusing that I’m right back to this place again.
Does it make anyone else anxious to listen directly to your T? To me it kind of feels like looking the devil right in the eyes…
That is a bummer…There are a lot of great Rush tribute acts out there. We did it more for fun than anything else. Mostly played small events and...
