Yes, I get the "white noise", sometimes so bad I couldn't hear the T.V. if it were full blast! Stupid doctor!

No, we are not alone. Perhaps not everyone can relate specifically to what we are experiencing, but they don't have to in order to love and support us - I had to learn to accept my limitations and take the help offered to me. Very tough after a career in law enforcement!

I can completely understand why this condition would drive someone to suicide! Not just the pain, but all of the annoyances nad inconveniences that come with the treatments and "cures". Sometimes I almost think the "cure" is worse than the disease!!

Take care, my friend......
