is there a relationship to the common cold and tinnitus? > is there a relationship to the common cold and tinnitus? It's one way to get tinnitus, yes. If the common cold spreads and causes the Eustachian tube to become inflamed and/or blocked up. In the past, I've often quoted my ENT's "Unified Field Theory of Upper Respiratory Disease": The Eustachian tube, the sinuses, the nasopharynx, the oropharynx, the nostrils, and the larynx, are all genetically pretty much identical tissue. An infection in any one of those can easily spread to any or all of the others. Especially a viral infection, which multiplies like hell.  SignatureSteven L.

In fact, I don't even know what "uninvited emails" you're talking about, since this is usenet, not an email program and I use kill files to screen out garbage posts. We've had a lot of useful discussions here in recent weeks. Susan > The uninvited e mails have pretty much destroyed this group as it has the > tinnitus news group and the options news group.

It sounds like your ISP isn't filtering out the spam and troll posts as well as my ISP does. I haven't seen any spam posts lately. You should complain to your ISP. Failing that, there are many spam filter applications out there. SignatureSteven L. Email: sdlitvin@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. Doctor I agree with you that we need a monitor for our Group. All my medical Support groups have just about vanished, and I am so disappointed as they used to help me to cope with daily living and pain. shirleyann > Doctor I agree with you that we need a monitor for our Group. > > All my medical Support groups have just about vanished, and I am so > disappointed as they used to help me to cope with daily living and pain. If you're talking about the "MI5 Persecution" troll, the best way to deal with him is just to ignore him. He actually is known to be a mental patient in Britain somewhere, who periodically freaks out and thinks the MI5 is out to get him: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A164404 SignatureSteven L.

Normally they would go elsewhere. How about you setting up a Forum on your own website, www.ent-consult.com? I wouldn't mind going there. (For example, check out the moderated Forum on http://www.ibsgroup.org/, for the sufferers of Irritable Bowel Syndrome) SignatureSteven L.

The most functional that I'm aware of is ... who's going to monitor it. Unless it's set up so that messages DO get through, and then a moderator can delete those that meet (which??) certain criteria ... then what you have is a bunch of stuff sitting on somebody's desk, waiting for him/her to get to them. Is somebody going to be 24/7 ... or even M-F, 9-5 available ... almost every single day ... to keep posts from taking, say, more than a day to hit the public access page? What happens on weekends, holidays, vacations, or when the moderator just gets too busy to moderate. It's a big commitment. I, for one, couldn't make that commitment. Might be tough to find somebody who could. Another issue is first-time posters. If they don't get the immediate feedback of seeing that post appear when they click "Send," then how many of them are likely to just move on to something else? I love the pro's of a moderated forum. I'm concerned about the cons. OhByTheWay, I was feeling pretty stuffy, and noticing pain above the upper right side molars when walking. I got medieval on it, invoking the h202 + grapefruit seed extract + sea salt lavage, increased Colostrum, zinc, vitamin c, and beta glucan AND increased Vitamin D (5,000iu). About four days later, I seem to be symptom free (better to say "returned to baseline." Most of us are /never/ "symptom free!) I am new to this. Can someone tell me what the foul smelling discharge from my nasals is. It started midway into a sinus infection please reply On Jan 8, 4:13 am, jay...@webtv.net wrote: > I am new to this.

It could be bacteria, retained stuff that's impacting your sinuses, or just exudate from your "diseased" sinuses. Prolly a few other things, too, but ... that's what comes to mind. > The uninvited e mails have pretty much destroyed this group as it has the > tinnitus news group and the options news group.

Dr. - Someone somewhere owns the root server that hosts alt.support.sinusitis. I always assumed that was you. If not, we could approach whoever it is and ask him/her to host alt.support.sinusitis.moderated. There is a process to charter new usenet groups involving petitioning etc, and there are good and bad things about that. The very bad thing is that someone or ones have to do the moderating, and when no one does it, nothing gets added. This is as opposed to unmoderated groups, where software does the bookkeeping. Who owns a.s.s? ...best, Capt N. SignatureEmail to Captain_Nemo@C0X.NYET (yes, you can so figure it out) ;-] Scream and shout and jump for joy! I was here before Kilroy!

You can't expect any new [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Let's find a monitored sinus group and all move their en mass. > Suggestions? If you're talking about a moderated newsgroup then someone obviously has to take on the task of moderation. Moderated newsgroups can be created by posting in news.groups for a "sci" group or alt.config for an "alt" group. It's not easy to get a group created. If your talking about a google group I advise against it since it is not propagated through usenet. If you're talking about a forum then I'm totally against it. Active forums are great for generating revenue for the owner. They are not great for the end user. The knowledge goes from being in the public domain to being owned by an individual. Then if the individual closes the forum for any reason the information is lost. Google archives this newsgroup and it is unlikely they will ever stop. I don't want to see all the a.s.s information lost. I'm not moving from a.s.s and it won't go away no matter who leaves and new people will always find it so... I think you all should stay put. SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com > is there a relationship to the common cold and tinnitus? My guess is, yes. Wherever a virus strikes, could be a battlefield. I have both tinnitus and sinusitis. I think that it is my diminished immune system that allows ordinary issues to become prominent. The real culprit is hcv-1b virus that I have had for 25-30 yrs. or so. There are new treatments in the pipeline within a couple of years, bringing a more effective cure. Such is life. Jamffer If everyone agrees that there is a relationship between a cold and tinnitus, then why would tinnitus remain after the cold has passed? I ask this because I know tinnitus can be a temporary condition with weight change, but also has the possibility to be a lasting condition based on nerve damage and hearing loss.

Tinnitus is also very strongly associated with hormonal fluctations, including thyroid, adrenal hormones like sex hormones and cortisol, chronic CNS infection, physical and chemical injuries. I don't know what the cold is doing, but I used to have chronic snap, crackle popping in my ears from eustachian tube fluid excess/blockage, along with untreated, chronic Lyme disease. Most women in perimenopause also experience tinnitus, along with those with pituitary/adrenal disorders. Ketogenic dieting with very low carb and very low calorie has been found to treat tinnitus effectively in one study. Susan > If everyone agrees that there is a relationship between a cold and > tinnitus, then why would tinnitus remain after the cold has passed? How long ago did the cold pass? You could still have lingering inflammation. Your upper respiratory system will continue to have greater than normal secretions for a few weeks at least; that's why a post nasal drip can linger even after the cold is gone. If the tinnitus was due to taking some drug (such as some antibiotics), the otic damage from such drugs can be cumulative. And eventually chronic. SignatureSteven L.
