About Me
I had a sudden onset of Pulsatile Tinnitus on March 8, 2009. Life was hard for the first few of weeks. I was depressed and suicidal. I went to several doctors and endured some very painful tests. I was given several drugs for sleep, anxiety and depression, though I didn't take any of them. In the end, I was told that I just have to live with it... and I have been. I decided that I am not going to be destroyed by a sound in my head. It still bugs me, but it is not controlling my emotions or my life. I have stopped looking for a "cure" or "treatment" because I am convinced that there is no cure or treatment for this. Instead I have come to terms with it and decided to get past it with the help of the best wife and kids in the world.

Interests
I play with my kids as much as possible. I write short stories. I play guitar. I read comic books. I collect action figures. (Google "Mighty Muggs." They are COOL!) I build websites. I LOVE audio, video, and photo software. I sell stuff on eBay. I'm sure there is more, but that is the main stuff.

I am so happy that you are finding a way to deal with your T. It does seem unfair sometimes that we have to have this problem but mind over matter and prayers are a wonderful solution. In my case, noise generators have been a lifesaver but if you are managing to deal with it without them, more power to you. You are a very strong person, although you may not feel like you are at times. God Bless and do keep us posted. Hugs. FranD
I’m With You
Let us know how things are going? Did you decide to do TRT? I just made an appointment, but they are booked until June. I have been reading all I can about TRT because I understand it is a tough road - getting used to white noise 12 hours a day and it takes a lot of time and accounting for adjustment before things smooth out - everyone I have emailed with that did TRT - they got better and were really pleased - so I am hoping to be another good story - a guy named Jesse just started his - he said the first two months were tough because the white noise generators made him fatigued from listening to it - but he said he just had a breakthrough - in month three - and his brain is switching channels and he is going out with friends again and trying to get his life back - I have gotten so bad - I don't leave the house unless necessary - I am hoping I can come back from this too - I have four kids and want so bad to be there for them - sometimes their noise triggers to me worse tinnitus - I have to come back - they are young and they need me for everything. God bless you out there - Mandie

Nolongermyself: Have you found out anything in Houston - I have been rooting for you to get good treatment - I so feel with you about the suffering - some days, I can just barely do what I am supposed to do and then I drug myself to sleep - I am going to see a doc about TRT in June - The lady is booked until then. I have read around 200 articles on TRT and bought a book called Tortured by Sound - I hope you find relief - you are so young to already have this thing - but maybe we can get treatment - our kids are so small and we have sooo much to do still.
