Hello. I'm glad to have found you all! I have tinnitus, the ringing in the ears, and kratom has given me my life back. I wrote about this here and hope they allow it to be a new topic. I live in Seattle and we just had a Snowmageddon. Fun times! - Steve
@steve-shay welcome! We're happy to have you here! Please let any of the admin know, if we can help you with anything!
@steve-shay In addition to my Welcome, I also want to let you know that I suffered *terribly* with tinnitus for several years, too. Those several years coincided closely with the onset of my debilitating anxiety. However, when I returned to kratom not only did it help me with my crippling anxiety, the tinnitus I had been tortured with faded off *(literally!)*, as well. I never fully understood how truly miserable tinnitus could be until I had to live with it ... for me, it was minute-by-minute torture. I must say, I am relieved that our precious Leaf has been effective in sparing you that torture as it did me ![0_1550269042377_smile.png](https://i.imgur.com/PGdzcnw.png)
Thank you for sharing your success story. If I overdue it, I do get the stomach pain. If anyone has advice on avoiding that?
@steve-shay There is a multitude of ways to avoid stomach issues. My favorites are ginger chews & ginger-ale, non-diet ginger ale. I also give this combination to my little girl, when we, *her flock*, go on long car-trips because she gets car-sick. This combo works amazingly well for her, just as it has for me. I know there are a number of options for dealing with this problem so I hope others will chime in here as well ... ![0_1550349460921_ZoomZoom.gif](https://i.imgur.com/zllKOfh.gif)

Eat something beforehand. Trying to take it on an empty stomach, like a lot of people try to do, is not always wise.
Thank you for your reply! I believe you about having a full stomach, and also staying hydrated. I believe where I got into trouble was taking three grams of capsules before getting ready for bed. That means of course I would have been sleeping instead of drinking fluids and eating anything. 😮

He often says what I want to say but I am either; Late to the "party" or Don't know how to say it right, lol. *By the way ... my "little girl", Kali, is a Green-Cheek parrot which is something I forgot to mention. My apologies* ... ![0_1550358827640_just.gif](https://i.imgur.com/aWHmf4o.gif)
