Hey Molly,

I am not familiar with Vitazym, but I will look into it. I am sure that the liver cleanse and bowel cleansing etc all help our overall health, but tinnitus is a tough one.My accupuncturisst in Hong Kong said it is very slow to heal. My guess is,the ears probably don't get as much blood flow as other parts of the body for one thing and that slows down the healing process. There's also the brain component-another reason to try the vinpocetine. At least it might make us less forgetful!

I am having my ups and downs with this, because it's only been about six weeks since this injury. I can't very well ignore what I am hearing. (and what I'm not!) Sometimes I think, 'now that I am no longer in the Land of Constant Noise (China,) that things are quieting down.' Certainly when I am in a quiet, insulated room (my bedroom, the quietest place in my house) with all the double paned windows shut, the abscence of external stimulus seems to quiet down the multiple layers of tinntus. I can still hear it, but i have been able to sleep. I am sleeping a lot right now, probably due to a low grade Depression and at least in part to have a respite from the incessant T.

It has been my experience that no one understands why T sufferers such as ourselves get so bent out of shape over this. Unfortunately, until one contracts it oneself, it seems like a small thing to allow one's peace of mind to be destroyed over. My girlfriend really can't empathize very well, mostly because she truly doesn't understand what I am dealing with. Words only convey so much. Not that I would wish this affliction on my worst enemy (if I actually had any.)

But I am rambling. It's just good to communicate with someone who understands. Sometimes I really do feel alone with this thing. My friends nod sympathetically, but at the end of the day, no one gets it, and frankly, no one really wants to hear about it. So I stop talking about it and do what all of us must: endure it while trying to get on with my life.

Hmmmm. This was supposed to be a short acknowledgement of your response. Hope you don't mind my going on like this. I'm just having a tough day.

take care,

Brian
