I came on a little later in 2008, and you were very much supportive. I wish to thank you for that. Most all have moved on in those three years, but I actually find relief from this intrusive affliction offering whatever that I can. I hang out here, because I certainly understand the anxiety of the "constant whistle" and I know how important a feel good hug may be from anyone who may be willing to accept. Distractions and positive thinking have proved to be the best medicine. You can only make the best of it, knowing that life is sweeter by offering support in lieu of victimizing yourself.

I came here in 2009 and one of the first people I met on here is attester.

He has taught me the art of possitive thinking and distraction which has helped me get on with my life. There are many factors in learning how to cope with this affiction and to learn to live again.

I have tried meds and experimented with foods and other numerous things. But to get on with it the best you can, to keep busy, and not to think your life is over is extremely important.

Find a hobbie, laugh, sing, take a walk, and think of one good thing that has been good each and every day.

God bless this site and it's teachers.

Hugs to all,
Sandy

My first visit was in late 2009. At first, I learned lots of new information from reading the posts of new people and veterans. And I shared my research. I do visit often to see how everyone is doing. People can find lots of support here. I enjoyed and still enjoy reading posts of the veterans, for both the perspective they provide and often the humor.

John, you crack me up from time to time, and your writings are often a source of entertainment.

Humor is a good healer. To paraphrase attester, "You can only make the best of it, knowing that life is sweeter by offering support in lieu of..."eating Christmas cookies." I ate two for breakfast today, and the sugar is doing its work.

I came on here in 2009 but dont think I met you then. Nice to meet you now! I agree with your post that the tea pot and you co-exist well enough together. I just let my tinnitus do what it does and I do what I want to do and somehow we have learned to co-habitate together. It has been 2.5 yrs for me and I am soooo much better. My tinnitus varies up and down high and low, bothersome, not so bothersome, but I keep plugging on..choo choo! LOL

2010, didn't take me long to find the right people to help me out. Appreciate everyone that help me realize that attitude is the only thing that beats t. Sitting around feeling sorry, only gives it the victory. Still got this damn thing, but U get a long just fine. Even went hunting this year, which gave me the t. I wore earplugs, but never found out if they will help. Only shot my bow. Have a great Christmas everyone!

I cant remember exactly when I came here. Somewhere in early 2009. I have met some very wonderful people and when I am really down I can always find a wonderful post to up my spirits. You all are wonderful and I wish you the merriest christmas and happy new year!

By the time I came here in Spring 2010, I was long past being bothered by my T. I found DS when I got shingles and was desperately searching for answers. I joined the Tinnitus group hoping I could help others. I don't know if I've actually helped anyone, but I try.

Many of you were a great help to me when I came here in April 2010: Kassandra, JustShootMe, Attester and more. I greatly appreciated - and continue to appreciate - your support and insights.

Hello John K, been here since 2008 still buzzing. I have been doing ok still trying to get a handle on this T. Yes you were always here for all of us Thank You very much. Always glad to hear from ya!!!!!
