Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / February 2005Do viruses hide in nerve fibers?
After keeping a graph for a year , the only correlation seems to be that fighting off colds or sinus infection increases "T" for me especially when the virus is almost cleared up. Anyone ever hear of a study for antibodies trying to kill viruses in nerve fibers?

Anyone ever hear of a study for antibodies >trying to kill viruses in nerve fibers? Sure. The various herpes viruses "live" in the nerves and reactivate from time to time, including when immune system activity changes. There have been a number of studies of herpetic antibodies and their relationship to inner ear symptoms in Meniere's. One study (not replicated...) found antibodies in the perilymph of those with Meniere's but not in the perilymph of those with other inner ear vestibular disorders. Look at PubMed and you should find a number of studies.  SignatureJim Chinnis / Warrenton, Virginia, USA Want to discuss Meniere's? See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MenieresDG
