I have a medical prescription, although I have used Cannabis recreationally also, it's available in the stores.
As a military veteran, with several conditions attributed to my 33 years of service, I am provided with cannabis products FREE.
(it's not all dry cannabis, it includes lotions, pills and capsules, CBD, CBN, and THC

By the time I jumped all the hoops, about a year before I was able to get a prescription, the government of Canada had reduced the amount they pay for veterans medications.
That left me with 60% of my prescription, unless I can afford to pay out of pocket.
But, unlike Recreational Weed sales ,the medical amount seems locked in like all insurance rackets. If they pay $10, that's what they charge, and they never go lower, or they will have to admit they overcharged.
The veterans suffer, some with PTSD, Anxiety, Insomnia, etc, and have to make due with less?
Seems like it took forever to be recognized.
I had retired 20 years before I knew they paid for my disabilities? And they only pay from the day you apply. They didn't think enough of my hearing was gone, but I got $20 for Tinnitus, the never-ending ringing in the ear. Cannabis helps. I can get beer cheaper. I'll never fully know how good I can improve, if the improvements made so far are hindered by political austerity.

It's also reflective of the recruiting problems. I suppose when you see how long time dedicated solders, sailors and air personnel are treated AFTER you might have less willingness to sign on.

I've had to fight for each at a great cost. To lose any ground, is depressing.

Ich habe die Tinnitus App der InfectoPharm Digital Health GmbH in den letzten Wochen genutzt und bin derart enttäuscht über den Inhalt. Für einen Preis von rund 260€ wird nicht viel Neues geboten. Lesestoff und ein paar Entspannungsübungen.
Falls ihr überlegt, dann lasst es und kauf euch ein Buch oder investiert das Geld in Tinnitus Liga. Da habt ihr deutlich mehr von.

Thanks to everyone who completed the poll about #tinnitus

For the 20% who have pulsatile, I'm so with you. Mine only started 18mths ago (on top of the other types) and I have to say, there are some days I feel I can't live with it. It's so incredibly debilitating, made worse by my constantly changing heart rate (more than it should, obvs).

Also very interested to see a few people who have musical tinnitus. If you're one of them, let me know what sort of music you get. I get jazz, mostly.

Having tinnitus is like The Game.

You instantly lose when it comes to mind.

I wonder how much this song is involved with my #Tinnitus ?

I have not tried this yet, but will be preparing to try it when I have the items onhand.

I have Tinnitus. I don't remember when it started ,at least 20-30 years ago,
I receive $20/month disability for a lifetime of ringing. Not much enjoyment out of that.
I can buy a take-out once a month now.
The Ringing goes on. A friend sent me this.
