Just wanted to post up that I’ve had a good weekend, yeah I’ve still got the stupid noises in my head 24/7 and I upped my meds a week ago but I can honestly say that it’s bothered me less the last few days.
Friday- went to pub with an old freind, drank too much and generally had a great time.
Saturday- hit the decks (quietly) for the first time in months and absolutely loved every second, it just made me feel myself again.
Saturday - afternoon- went to a BBQ and watched the football with more friends (and a few beers).
Sunday - got two 11 week old kittens (I’m a cat person) after loosing my much loved cat in April. They are lovely 😊
I’m by no means out the woods (infact my T has just gone bonkers whilst I type) and I’ve got my second jab this week (dreading) but I can see that’s maybe it’s not all bad days.
Just wanted to share, especially to those really suffering …. I know how that feels and there really is hope, it’s taken me quite a while and a lot of suffering to get here but this weekend the T didn’t rule me, I ruled the T.

Brilliant post Allgie. Your doing so well . This T sure is very challenging . I love your kittens , my goodness your going to have your hands full with those little mischievous babies . My cat is 14 years. and I’ve two bouncing poodles keeps me busy , but my T is considerably bad . But we have no choice but to get on with it best way possible, best foot forward !!!!
Thanks Allgie. I had a look again at the post you first made a few weeks ago. So true - you rule the T and the T doesn’t rule you, Congratulations. And congratulations, too, on your kittens sooooo sweet.
I’m on 75 mg of Sertraline morning (was 50mg) and 10 mg of amitrptyline, evenings (it knocks me out and I sleep very well on it).
I’ve been on the meds for about 2 months and they’ve helped me control the anxiety and depression , obviously I don’t want to be taking them long-term but I must say I do feel they’ve helped me.
Well done Allgie for not letting T leading your life, but you being totally in charge this weekend!! Like you I’m starting to have better days and this has given me the confidence of booking my second jab. After the 1st I was firmly convinced not to have the second. My T spiked and I’m dreading it is going to be bad again, but I will still do it because it is my decision.
Oh my world Allgie I wasn’t expecting such a strong reaction on your second one. I had fever and full flu symptoms with the first one and I know how uncomfortable it is. Fingers crossed that your tinnitus stays that way and this reaction is only a 24h thing!! All the best. Let us when you recover fully.
Hi Allgie, you are doing so well, I need a weekend on the Raz, as someone used to say. I have a special friend returning to the YUK soon, but occasionally. Let the hair down. T is not worth it. Get on with life, there's so much good out there.
