    I’m new here!

    Hi, my name is Zeke I've been diagnosed with multiple conditions: CFS, fibro, POTS, IBS, carpal tunnel, lactose intolerance, migraines, chronic precordial catch syndrome, chronic costochondritis, keratosis pilaris, tinnitus (I am also HoH), internal and external tremors, chronic insomnia, multiple anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD, schizophrenia, CPTSD, UDD, atypical anorexia, agoraphobia, and dysphoria. It’s a lot, I know. Here to find people like me and talk about my experiences.

    I am new here!

    My name is Samuel. I have been diagnosed with 20 different illnesses and/or diseases over the years. The last one, early stages of Alzheimer’s. I am emotionally drained most days. It feels like my memory is being erased, besides having problems communicating and process thoughts, emotions, and ideas, etc. The other issues worsen the situation as these still need to be managed, but they have a severe impact on my mobility, comfort, and other human basic needs. Anyway, thank you for listening.

    Memory like my goldfish

    No matter how many times I learn something….. I forget, and I have to relearn it all over again. My brain has been programmed to live in fight or flight mode for so long that now I am having to live in each moment. it’s a scary place sometimes. In the last six months I’ve been diagnosed with tinnitus which along with my anxiety and depression makes things more intense. It’s a day at a time. Glad I’m not alone.

    Twenty years of Tinnitus

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who deals with this problem.
    With me it's usually brought on or more prevalent with nerve pain.
    I have quiet BPD and sometimes without even knowing it the ringing in my ears is driving my emotions and anxiety higher I can't stand it.
    I almost always have to have background noise if I don't want to hear the noise, it's a good thing I love to play music or it would be intolerable.
    I'm reaching out to see what positive methods anyone else uses to ease the affects of this affliction.

    My tinnitus and an unintentional experiment.

    I'm 64 and I've been plagued with tinnitus for as long as I can remember. I have hearing loss in both ears of the moderate to severe range. My sounds resemble a piercing shrill, the woods alive with crickets and the hum of a diesel tractor outside my window.
    Recently I went away for a week to visit my daughter and I was home alone all day with her 2 pets while she and her husband worked. For a week ! It was blissfully quiet. I checked in with my ears a few times when I realized they were silent. Silent !
    I live in a 28'camper with my spouse. My daughter's house has a two story vaulted ceiling. The acoustics were amazing.
    The first thing I noticed when I returned home to my little camper was the low loud hum in my left ear. Wow it's back just like that.I want to mention I have a variety of stress ills, cptsd, anx,dep..
    So what was different at my daughter's house ? Lack of stress, lack of cannabis (I do the medical kind and it works for me), or the acoustics ? I have my shrill whistling back now, going on 5 days straight😤#Tinnitus

    Loud, piercing and almost nonstop! #Tinnitus #pulsatile tinnitus

    I sometimes have to wonder if this kind of tinnitus could make a person slightly nuts 🥜! I would love just a single day without it.

    Sleep Deprived EEG Tests

    I’m going to be having an eeg test soon for the first time. I just found out its a sleep deprived one.

    Have you had this test and can you tell me your experience with it? I’m wondering why the neurologist ordered this kind (sleep deprived) specifically.

    Did it get you and your doctors closer to proper diagnosis? #EEG #testing #Nerve and joint pain #neurologist #Diagnosis #mobility #Tinnitus #Epilepsy #ChronicPain
