When my T started a few months ago I had the exact thing happen @Pipo. I was fine for a few days then I started waking up at 4am every night. This...

It's just a small thing but hey I'll take all I can get. :)

I'm a pathologist and sit in a quiet room with a microscope all day. I've had T for two months now. Its loud enough that only the shower masks...

I'm doing better. Klonopin, talking to my sis and husband, some food and a calm house have helped :) I had to diagnose some young people with...

Thanks @jazz I didn't know all of this was going on. Interesting. And, I agree that a non-invasive solution would be far superior.

I downloaded the study. Small pilot study to see feasibility of a large randomized placebo controlled trial. It was well done. They used...

This may sound really stupid but I've been looking at my T as a lesson in suffering. In the 5 weeks I've had this I have come to understand...

Fantastic story! Thanks for sharing. I'm 5 weeks in as of today. Working hard to take the emotional response from the T. Not an easy task and I...

@I who love music I guess I'm just getting to where I realize the only thing I have control over (or at least some control over) is my response to...

I do the same things and I think some habituation is occurring but I feel like to get to that "I don't even really notice I have it anymore" is...

Nausea is a common symptom of anxiety. My T started a month ago and I lost 12lbs or so in the first two weeks from nerves. Omeprazole/nexium is...

This post is really helpful. And i completely see that the reaction to the T is the limiting factor to not actively hearing it in myself. My T has...

My T is only a month old but I think you and I have a similar set of basic fears. While I'm not a musician (I was actually a vocal music major...

My friends have been really great. Lots of support. Maybe a little baffled but supportive.

This is excellent advice!

@citigirl13 Did your anxiety ever get better? From your profile it looks like you've been dealing with this for 6 months or so. I feel like if I...

@citigirl13 Thank you. I will try having stuff like that beside me tonight. My stomach situation is because of stress/anxiety. When the T came on...

@Ken219 The appetite is a big problem. When this first happened I got really sick at my stomach and while the nausea went away 4-5 days ago eating...
