Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / December 2004Why don't even doctors have answers to cure tinnitus?
Is it because... (1)They are looking at the wrong direction? (2)In order to cure tinnitus, it requires a different set of scientific discipline? (3)The answer is around the corner? (4)any other 'reasons'? FP > Is it because... > (1)They are looking at the wrong direction? [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > FP There is no cure for tinnitus? They are human and one cannot really understand tinnitus without suffering from it. >> Is it because... >> (1)They are looking at the wrong direction?

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > FP Hate to tell ya but tinnitus isn't the only condition that has no gold standard cure. There are a host of many diseases, conditions, and injuries that escape modern medicine's grasp for a cure. Why is there no cure for the common cold?? I thought you found the cure - sleeping without a pillow. frank > > Is it because... > > (1)They are looking at the wrong direction? [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > I thought you found the cure - sleeping without a pillow. Sleeping without the pillow helps improve blood circulation. Where did I say it is a cure? Could you as an 'educated' person cite me the evidence? Remember: something is not neccessarily true simply by way of its being *said*. You don't need me to tell you that. FP > frank >>>Is it because... >>>(1)They are looking at the wrong direction? [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > of its being *said*. > You don't need me to tell you that. Yes, Francis, we are all barbarians, and you are the only "educated" person here. Best wishes, scp > FP > >>frank >> > Is it because... >> > (1)They are looking at the wrong direction? [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > FP How does sleeping without a pillow help blood circulation? Makes no sense to me. I think we use pillows to keep our neck straight, thereby enhancing blood circulation. If I sleep on my side without a pillow, my head hangs down at a sharp angle. > >> > Is it because... > >> > (1)They are looking at the wrong direction? [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > blood circulation. If I sleep on my side without a pillow, my head hangs > down at a sharp angle. I am using a towel. Sometimes I fold it up to fill out the space behind the neck. By sleeping without a pillow or with a low pillow, you allow your neck muscle on the side of your neck to stretch when you are doing side sleep. Hard for me to put in into scientific terms but I do get benefit a lot. =================================== > > > Is it because... > > > (1)They are looking at the wrong direction? [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > FP Below is a direct quote from your thread: (maybe your t is giving you a little amnesia) - are you getting a kinked neck yet?? fp"That is what I have been advised by a doctor. It works! The sound and the pitch of the t sound become smaller when I sleep without a pillow. So there is something to be said about the blood flow theory." frank > > > > Is it because... > > > > (1)They are looking at the wrong direction?

Where did you learn your English? Does the message above equate to being 'cured'? FP > frank > > > > I thought you found the cure - sleeping without a pillow. > > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Where did you learn your English? Vicious. If you must know, it was from a visiting Martian from Roswell, New Mexico. Satisfied?? Does the message above equate to being 'cured'? It does to me and from this source: "The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Copyright © 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company.

It'd be nice if some people would actually try it and report back instead of sniping at the suggestor. I mean, it's not that far out of line is it? There are harmless suggestions here from time to time. I remember one guy saying that his T gets louder when ears are exposed to water. Now thats an easy one to test, eh? Reduce exposure to water. Maybe it makes no sense but where's the downside? Have to wear ear plugs in the shower or go without a pillow for a couple weeks? What the heck? What if a harmless suggestion can actually alleviate T symptoms for .005% of the 50mil sufferers. I wouldnt mind being one of those 2,500 people.

I agree, atleast he is trying to give us some relief and he is sharing his experiences with us...I myself am open to anything. Oh and I have been wearing earplugs in the shower for the last 8 months or so and I no longer get the buzzing I used to get. jganders wrote in message <1100375382.437926.28080@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com>... >The no-pillow suggestion falls under the "cant do any harm" category, >right?

Gee I wouldnt mind being one of those 2,500 people. keep it up Francis, I for one appreciate everything you are sharing with us...if we all gave up hope, and just lived with it, there may never be a reason to find a cure. We can still get on with our lives and not let T overcome us, but still keep an open mind to alternatives. Any relief I experience I am going to let the world know because If I can help even one person experience a little bit of relief, then it's a job well done. So keep up the good work , (just don't insult my country lol ) francispoon wrote in message <936eaee8.0411141412.2d3a1bad@posting.google.com>... >> oh and I cant sleep without a pillow, but I have reduced it to one flat one >> and yes I can notice a slight difference.

Yes, in alt., anyone who could spell the word 'habituation' automatically becomes an expert. By the way, I love Oz, and in particular its women population....lol FP ----------------- > keep it up Francis, I for one appreciate everything you are sharing with > us...if we all gave up hope, and just lived with it, there may never be a [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > >> >What if a harmless suggestion alleviates T symptoms for .005% of the > >> >50mil sufferers.
