Abuse of Opioids takes away from all the good it can do

@willows I have empathy for you. I manage sensory symptoms that equally can not be quelled by medication. For me, that type of management comes from brain power ... strength, resilience, plus tools of distraction. What you describe must be frustrating and annoying to say the least. What do you do to get through the flares other than sleep?
Managing pain without medication is a tall order but can be done, talk about mental strength!

Thank you for understanding. Usually I try to relax and listen to nature soundsI have downloaded and I am able to choose one that best takes my mind elsewhere at the time. I am retired and live a very stressless existence which helps as well. I have ever been. Type A personality anyway so stress doesn’t factor into my situation. It was more difficult when I worked as there were deadlines as usual.
Another thing I do is to realize I am not alone as I have two first cousins with tinnitus as well as my brother. So many sufferers!
