      From FranD Monday

      I am going thru the same thing you are. I, too, felt habitation would be impossible with the T as serious as I have it. It really does make coping possible. I have been able to get on with my life in spite of it. Happy you are getting the help you need. YOu have a wonderful attitude. God Bless. FranD

      From therick July 16

      Anytime.... I too only get to check messages occasionally... Time is a hard thing to come by... I am taking a few days off from work, to visit with sick family.... I have been reading about Namenda.. Alzheimers drug... Not sure, but some are finding relief... I will catch you in a week or two... No need to respond.. Hope all continues to be o.k. with you...

      From therick July 15

      Hey John... I hope you are doing well... Dug up our last message... I do what I do because it is what I have to do... Quitting would be easier... God has a reason for me still being here... I did go to a new church Wednesday night... I am going back this Wednesday... It is as I put it, my first step in getting back the old me... I may still have the tinnitus, but I must get back the time that has been robbed of me... If I keep on this track I will just waist more time... How are you coping with the T... Good I hope. I think it is amazing that all you take is a Vitamin C.... Try not to get on anti-depressants, but by all means go to a doctor and try some new things to help with the Tinnitus... Give the kids a hug. I only have one and she is probably one of the reasons that I keep on keeping on..... Gotta go for now, maybe check back on Thursday... Library computer, don't get by every day... Long story, but I have a home 100 miles away, and work (apartment). Tough life, but you would be amazed what you can still do... KEEP THE FAITH....

      From FranD June 10

      It says a person may not get results for about 6 months. Since mine is severe, I am taking 2 3xday. Perhaps you did not take it long enough. I am so very sorry it has not helped you "yet". I have great hopes for it. Hugs, FranD Thank you for your reply.

    • I’m With You

      From FranD June 9

      I learned about LipeFlavonoid just a couple of days ago. A friend of a friend said his wife tried it and her tinnitus completely went away. I started it two days ago and even though it says it may take 3 to 6 months to notice a difference, I actually am already noticing a calming down of the roar in my ear. My tinnitus has been very very severe so I am quite excited about this. Are you taking 1 tablet 3 times a day or 2? Wouldn't it beyond wonderful if this is really a cure. I have great faith in it. Best Wishes, FranD
