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

I wish I had some cool idea on how to help you. I remember when vioxx helped me so much, before I had a diagnosis and meds. Then it was taken off the market. I moved to advil, which worked pretty good, then had the GI bleed. So now it’s Tylenol. I just read an article in Medscape about it not being very effective for chronic pain…
And then I read your story. I think I’d go crazy. At least I do have some pain-free time. Tinnitus would be very difficult. I have 3 friends with Meniere’s Disease. The stories they tell! Good grief. This forum is a great place to keep me from feeling sorry for myself. It’s important to understand other’s struggles. Perspective is everything.
Are they doing research for something to help you? I am sorry you have to put up with that constant noise. It’s so hard for me to concentrate when it’s noisy. Does it interfere?

Thank you for your kind words and sympathy. Tinnitus can definitely interfere with concentrating on a task. I have a few things that really interest me so if you have a passion for what you pursue in the way of interests that helps concentration. Each day when I wake up I can tell if Tinnitus will be bearable or hard to tolerate. I try to go ahead and do what I planned and only stop if its just too much to bear in the moment. Hard, but life is not necessarily easy, you just have to plough through,
live how you can and do your best. What I find most frustrating is that in a world where mankind can look back to the earliest forming of the universe but we still can' t find the causes of Tinnitus or help its sufferers, unbelievable!
