Don't Want to Lose My Life, My Family.

Also thankfully I haven't had to use a masker to fall asleep yet. But I've also been so emotionally exhausted and probably because of the meds I fall asleep pretty easily even with the sound.

 

I think you're gonna be just fine.

 

Yes, focus on the positives. Anything that can relax you will help your T. Don't try to monitor T. Try to distract it with other activities. At the beginning phase of T, the body sense wrongly that this is a threat and so it freaks out whenever you hear it. But given time and repetition, and after learning what T is and isn't, then you should gradually lose the fear for it. You may still get annoyed by it, but hopefully given time, you will get more used to the sound. Try masking also if the ringing freaks you out. Try a sound machine at bed time.

 

My T has been low at times, when I get up in the middle of the night and usually in the morning. I think your brain takes a break.

 

Also, since I have been taking Vinpocetine, 10mg, three times a day, I have many low T days now. Today will be my 12th day using it. This supplement, works for some and not others?

Also, calcium, B-complex, B12, fish oil, zinc and magnesium oil, seems to help me. I also take Traditional Chinese Medicines, along with acupunture treatments.

Like billie48 suggests, use a "nature sound" masker, when sleeping. First thing I bought when I got T.

God bless,

I so relate to some of the things you are saying. That you don't have a year to get better, that you need to focus on your job and family, for instance. but what choice do we have? tinnitus throws itself at you, what do you do? You fight it. Sure it tiresome, it takes time and time is something that we already experience shortage of. you just don't want to have to deal with it. and of course, that is a response we can relate to. but again; what choice do you have?

You ought to give it some time and try not to worry too much now. it can pass, it can go away. i hope you will experience that. if you don't we can talk about what comes next a bit further down the road.
