Thank you for sharing your story, and I am so happy to hear you are finally on your journey of healing. Based on my experience, it is punctuated with peaks and valleys, especially in the first couple of months. Seemingly more valleys than peaks. But there will be a transition, with that coming faster if positivity is maintained (easier said than done, of course).
As to praying for me, I would be honored. I will do the same for you and ask God to bring you healing and relief as soon as possible.

@ChurningTheLegs16 - Thank you for your support & suggestion. Dr. Hepworth initially suggested I see Dr. Amans, but he seems to be a die hard pulsatile tinnitus guy. Secondarily, Dr. Hepworth said perhaps I should also see Dr. Gopen at UCLA because I had too much bone shaved out of my left inner ear for a shunt placement in 2019. It has left me w/ potential dehiscence, hyperacusis & distorted hearing in that ear. Dr. Gopen does a procedure that could reverse some of that. Dr. Amans would potentially offer a stent in my transverse sinus do reduce my tinnitus. I’ve had two head injuries, & after the results I got from the shunt, I’m not sure I want any more metal bits put anywhere near my brain. That said, I haven’t completely dismissed the idea of seeing Dr. Amans, just put it on the “back burner” for now.
