Congratulations!!!
The Two of Pentacles is about staying balanced, whether financially, physically, mentally, or emotionally. I think the overall message of these...
I'm a tarot reader, and when I did a reading for myself on that exact same question, I drew The Hermit and The Nine of Swords and the Two of...
I'm a vegetarian, and at the nonprofit where I used to volunteer, we all got a good laugh when one of our members said that he used Wite-Out and a...
If you write that book, I'll buy multiple copies! The world needs to know how awful this is, even though it doesn't kill anybody the way cancer or...
Hi, I used to be a regular on this board, and then I took a break that lasted almost a year. When I saw this post of yours today, particularly the...
Hey there, @gameover! I am so happy to hear you've had over three weeks of relatively good ear health. I mean, it would be ideal for all of us...
Interesting. Did you ever try biking for an hour in the morning instead of the afternoon? Just wondering if that would give you all-day relief...
@RunningMan Sorry to hear that. I hope your GI exam goes well. You deserve some relief.
@Juliane I hope your better days outnumber the not-so-good ones.
I'm back on the board after a long absence. Trying to catch up. So sad that 2 board members have passed away. RIP, Justin and Merlin.
@RunningMan I weaned off slowly. The withdrawal period was tough, but I got past it. T and H were not changed, ultimately. I posted a longer...
Well, I'm back after a very long absence from the Tinnitus Talk boards. Since this is the thread where many people are describing their...
@Andrew40 Duloxetine was the only one I took. I stopped taking it a month ago, and now the depression is back. I'm deciding whether to get back on...
Hi! I was getting better for a while, and now I'm getting worse. I developed pulsatile tinnitus now on top of the existing T and H, so I'm seeing...
Hi! I was much better for a while, but then I had big setbacks. I now have pulsatile tinnitus on top of regular T and H, so I am trying to learn...
Thanks for checking in. My H was almost gone, but then I had some noise exposures that led to setbacks, so I'm almost right back where I started...
Hello! I'm sorry for the late reply. I haven't been to the forum in months. Duloxetine was very helpful for me. I took it for nine months. I hope...
Thank you for showing us this link. I love his essay and wish more people would read it.
It's great that you were feeling a little better as of this afternoon. Try to focus on the positive if you can. As for the unknown factor that led...
I hope you feel better soon and that your birthday still has moments of joy to make up for this.
I know the feeling all too well. Hugs all around, you guys. I do hope we can keep each other sane and strong as we deal with our symptoms.
@kingsfan, how's the brain fog as of now? Did you receive any suggestions for dealing with it that were promising and worth a shot? I personally...
As far as I know, caffeine doesn't affect my T or H, so I continue to drink as much as I always have. Maybe I ought to cut back and see if it helps.
Don't blame yourself too much for not paying enough attention to tinnitus in the past. I think many of us have done the same, and then got caught...
I'd prefer to evict the tinnitus and then welcome the mosquito with open arms. No security deposit required, and the first month's rent is free.
It's like that movie "Groundhog Day," and we are all Bill Murray's character, trying to figure out how to undo our symptoms so that the next time...
It may feel that way today, but things do change. I hope you can continue to hang on.
LOL, the sound of wind is not as relaxing as you think, according to this classic children's book about an owl. Watch this video from the...
I like your reference to The Log Lady from "Twin Peaks." : ) Also, I've been to Snoqualmie, Washington, where they filmed the show, and I can...
@gameover, it's nice to hear from you. It sounds like you're making progress. Please keep the faith. I bet you'll improve even more in the coming...
Well, we all react differently to noise, but speaking from my own experience (and that of many others I've seen on this board), these...
@kingsfan I never watched The Sopranos, LOL. One of these days, I will.
@kingsfan I always thought your previous profile pic was a real picture of you. : )
It's a shame you can't take NAC. I hope you can find something that works for you. Sending more hugs.
It's fantastic that you found a therapist who is also a former audiologist! She sounds like she's worth her weight in gold. You are unlikely to...
Have you tried taking NAC capsules to speed the recovery? That has been helpful to some people on this board.
How are you feeling today? Given that recovery for T and H can be non-linear, I am hoping that you will heal faster than you expected from...
Oh, after I typed that reply on this page, I saw your recent thread on the brain fog and static hiss. It's amazing how much adaptation these...
Gosh, I am so sorry to hear that. My tinnitus and hyperacusis are not exactly the same type as what you describe, but I have had terrible,...
Take it easy today, and hopefully the spike will go back down. These multivariable incidents are maddening, but you'll get through this. You've...
That is heartbreaking. And I hate the fact that it was simply a matter of bad timing / bad luck. :( I hope you feel better soon. Not every...
I don't understand it either. You absolutely deserve another chance to recover, and it may still come.
Having individual therapy is still better than nothing. I'll keep you in my thoughts and hope that the two of you can come to an understanding...
If you can handle an hour comfortably, that's a great place to start. Maybe try lengthening the amount of exposure each day just a little bit...
Are you and your husband open to marriage counseling? Just a thought.
I'm so sorry. I wish your hubby could show a little more compassion right now. You've gone through so much this past year. Even without T and H,...
Please don't give up hope. Tinnitus changes a lot. Yours might improve again, and so may your other life circumstances. We are here for you.
Thanks @Merlin L you too, my friend!
I didn't think I'd ever see improvement, but I've actually gotten noticeably better this summer. The T is less variable and not as loud. The H is...
I've had acupuncture for a variety of ailments for nearly two decades. I really recommend it for hyperacusis and headaches. The relief won't be...
I almost bought those last year, but I decided on the bulkier Optime 98 because this reviewer said they were the most comfortable pair of all the...
@Strawberryblonde The Peltor X4A is probably the most discreet model in the Peltor line. They don't stick out so far from the sides of your head...
@jimvee LOL, that's what I told her the other day, that I have to be careful not to tap the plastic ear cups because of the noise they make inside...
Ha ha, I told you those things are big and kinda awkward! :) But don't worry, you'll get used to them. Wearing them is like having someone give...
Yes, the Cymbalta helped greatly with the depression, even after just one dose. I think it also may have helped somewhat with the pain in my right...
I have had a chronic pain very similar or identical to what you've described. I've often said to my acupuncturist that it's a pain that radiates...
@Merlin L I hope you experience some big improvements in the near future too. I honestly didn't think I ever would, considering how many ups and...
@Merlin L I also want more improvement with brain fog and energy. I feel like my brain has rewired itself so that I'm a completely different...
@Merlin L I'm cautiously optimistic, but I wouldn't say I've got most of my life back because there are still a lot of things I avoid, and I still...
