Another virus

[777john]

This is my 4th virus in 6 months , i normally get 1 a year usually a bad cold or a mild flu, not sure what's going on, iv tested for covid but that's clear, and it doesn't really bother me apart from the fact it always sends my T in to orbit which means i can not go to bed to sleep it off because the noise of my T is so loud i can not settle and i can not go out in to the lovely sunshine because i feel so dreadful and weak . I am just writing this because i feel pissed off Parden the French. Any way lots of love to all you T sufferers hope you are all doing well.

Hi John. I 've had several viruses this year . It's annoying - as you say - because it sends T thru the roof but it always settles again. Hopefully this fine spell will see off all the viruses. Hope you feel better soon.

Im the same, I maybe get 1 fluish a year but this past winter ive had it loads. I blamed my little one who attends a nursery as it seems like that setting would be like a petri dish

To support doglovers comment, the T always comes back down once i feel better though, every time.

[doglover1973 in reply to Darren6]

Same here Darren. My little niece and nephew go to nursery and they catch everything and pass it on but at least it builds immunity in us as well as them 🙂

Me too John. I feel almost as bad as when I had Covid so did a test which was negative. It is, as you say, yet another nasty virus. Trying to stay positive but the T has been horrendous - I just cry in the long dark nights because it seems hopeless at times. Hope you feel better soon. I have just had an ENT appointment cancelled to see if my T can be helped. At 80 years of age I think I am stuck with it now. Stay positive somehow. Good luck.

I'm so sorry its making you cry l know it seems hopeless at times it's such a horrible thing this tinnitus believe you me these last two years iv been as low as you can get but iv bounced back mainly because of habitation iv just got used to the noise apart from these horrible viruses and the odd spike iv been ok I know it can send you mad sometimes but your T will settle down.

Thank you. As soon as I had sent it, I regretted sending that reply to you as I sound so sorry for myself!! It helps to know there are others out there who understand. This horrible virus is the main problem at the moment. Best wishes to you - hope you are soon free of it and enjoying your life again.

[doglover1973 in reply to sylvester1]

Don't give up hope Sylvester . It's time and self care that works wonders for T . Be kind to yourself. Relax as much as possible. Do things you enjoy. Best wishes💖

[sylvester1 in reply to doglover1973]

Thank you so much for your kind words. It helps knowing there are lovely people out there who understand and try to help. I know I have to try to keep above it and fight the dreaded depression........ Best wishes to you, and thanks again.

Hi 777John Sorry to hear your not well, I hope you recover soon and regain your strength back so you can get out again. as you like the outdoors and walks as you once told me. Take care John

[Mfg789 in reply to Hidden]

I agree, walking is helping me at times

[Hidden in reply to Mfg789]

Hi just read your bio, hope you don't mind, felt so sad for you having gone tbrough a terrible road accident when you were a young child which left you with hearing loss and severe tinnitus due to the head injuries your very brave to have coped with all this. Thanks for sharing. Yes walking for me helps too

[Mfg789 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah I've had the time of it 🙈but sometimes I think, it's been better to have happened to me so young as I've just lived with it, whereas if it randomly appeared now, I honestly don't think I'd be able to cope as well. I read yours also, praying yours is just a short term effect from your withdrawals 🤞🏼

[SUS776]

My sympathy yo you I'm just getting over stomach flu and my t spiked for 5 days just settled thank god hard to get just kept positive and the odd glass if wine help me sleep

[Mfg789]

I feel exactly the same. I've suffered 21 years now.But now that I'm older (34) everytime I get a cold it sends my T crazy! So much so. I feel this time it's been the worst and I don't know how I can cope

[doglover1973 in reply to Mfg789]

Hi Mfg. Wecome to the forum. I’ve just read your bio. It sounds like you’ve had a very rough ride with T . I hope you’ll find solace and comfort here.

[Mfg789 in reply to doglover1973]

I have, but I just know that now is the time to reach out, research and try and gather as much information as possible that may help. I already feel Connected known there's so many people with lots of advice. Thank you

I’m 60 and my mother is 91. We both suffer from tinnitus and find Vitamin B12 (1000mcg) along with Vitamin D (1000 IU) daily helps. I’ve added Bio Magnesium (1-2 tablets daily). medicinenet.com/what_vitami....

[Mfg789 in reply to AussieHeart]

Great to know, I will certainly purchase these. Are they helping ease?I remember joining a PT and she had me on vitimins, my tinnitus wasn't half as bad, I'm not sure if it was because I was working out and keeping super healthy 🙈 which didn't last 😂 or it was the vitimins. I must defo get these
