    • About Me

      I grew up here in Connecticut. I'm married with 2 dogs. I've been sober for 4 1/2 years. Lost my Dad a few years back one of the many reasons I ended up in rehab...Also almost killed myself in a drunk driving accident (I only hurt myself). I'm a demand planner for a electric razor manufacturer. Stumbled on the website because I was reasearching tinnitus which started in July. That's the Readers Digest version....Favorite color is blue..love long walks on the beach..holding hands...sunsets...(lol)

      Some of my favorite bands: Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Alice Cooper, Roxie 77, AC/DC, Elegantly Wasted, Silvertide..the list goes on and on I love going on my boat and finding a secluded cove and sitting in the sun listening to music. I love playing guitar. I have a little 8 track recorder and make my own music...can't sing at all..just music...working on getting a band together hopefully to play out for fun.

    • Close Tinnitus

      Tinnitus started about 6 weeks ago. One Doctor gave me nasal spray went to one he gave me xanax and said it could go as fast as it came

      Treatments

      Lipo-Flavanoid Not Working
      Hasn't changed a thing...I like the smell though
      Neurontin Not Working
      Actually seems to make it worse.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      It seems to bring the tinnitus down a notch. But, helps when I get really pissed about the ringing
