Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / May 2005How long can the "periods" last?
Hey all, I was just wondering if any of you have any personal statistics about how long so called "bad periods" can last. I´ve had Tinnitus for more than 14 years and recently I´ve felt that my T has grown worse. I´ve had some really really BAD periods. Is that "normal"? Everypne says that they have 3 bad days, then 2 good days, then 1 bad day, then 3 good days etc. etc... Can this also be weeks or months without change? Can a bad period last for more than a week or maybe even months? Thanks, Anders When it comes to this mysterious ill named tinnitus, almost anything is possible. If you had run out of methods from your ENT doctors in treating your tinnitus, why not try gingko biloba, acupuncture and chiropractic for a change? If your doctor told you not to try any of that, you would then ask him what to try next.

Is liquid-form better? How long should I wait until the effect will begin?.....if there is any effect on me of course... Anders I think you need more than just massage. Go for a chiro and get your spine relaxed. I took GB and realized the effect after a few days. Some say 3 weeks. But if after a while it does not do anything for you, you should consider stopping it.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > FP Pardon me, but I don't think its good advice to try A B C D Just to be trying things. Much better to spend your money on a vacation. Once the diagnosis has been made so that treatable conditions - hypertension, hydrops, etc have been ruled out, you need to consider things that have a high probablility of helping YOU. There is masking by hearing aid, stress reduction, etc that is to be considered. Stress reduction using a mirror is detailed at my web site. Just because it doesn't cost anything doesn't mean it won't help. But to "might as well" try this and that - I don't think is the proper approach. You want some sort of % figure before you put your body out there. When you pay 2,000 for a motor overhaul, the mechanic says there is a 30 day guarantee - better fuel efficiency, no more oil leaks, etc etc. But what if the mechanic says we will try the 2,000 motor overhaul first, if that don't work, we will try the 1500 transmission, and if that doesn't work might as well try the 2500 replacement of all wires. Would you buy that? Its your body, not to be triffled with. I suppose that would depend on whether or not a new or tried treatment carries the risk of IRREVERSIBLE consequences. I would say that a few days of GB and a visit to a chiro would not produce IRREVERSIBLE consequences. Not everyone says that they have good and bad days. Only some people. For others it is pretty constant. Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ >Hey all, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >Thanks, >Anders > Not everyone says that they have good and bad days.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Anders Nah, there are plenty of folks who never get a break or a change in their T. Susan Hi I was just wondering exactly how it has been worse, has the volume of you T increased, or is the volume the same but you feel that it´s harder to cope with than before by some reason...? /ES > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > /ES Hi, Yes, it´s the volume the T that has increased. I´ve had it at that volume before...but never for so many days in a row :-( I only wonder why that is...I´m 28 and I´ve had T for 13 or 14 years. Anders Try a motion-sickness pad and see if that helps.

Have you tried gingko biloba yet? Yes, I´m taking gingko biloba in pill-form. I´ve been doin´ it for 3 weeks. What is a "motion-sickness pad"? Regards, Anders i experienced the effect from GB after a day or so. Has it done anything for you? The kind of motion sickness pad i used is meant to help the circulation of the inner ear. Go and ask a pharmacist. i experienced the effect from GB after a day or so. Has it done anything for you? The kind of motion sickness pad i used is meant to help the circulation of the inner ear. Go and ask a pharmacist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Could you explain how this occurs? Does it differentially improve the circulation of the inner ear? HNG According to what I read, the chemical from the pad that goes into your inner ear helps the circulation of the inner ear. No it hasn´t done anything for me yet. It has only got even worse the last couple of weeks :-( - Are there better ways to take it than pills....is "liquid-form" better? (if it exist as "liquid") But what is a "motion sickness pad"? Where do you get it? Is it something you "wear"..? Regards, Anders >i experienced the effect from GB after a day or so.

If GB has not helped you, then you should talk to your doctor and stop it. You can get the motion sickness pad from a pharmacy. It sticks at the end of your ear. > No it hasn´t done anything for me yet.

You should look into the cause of it. But oftentimes it is hard to figure out what the cause is. You thus just have to go trials and errors. Hi, Anders Tinnitus effects each individual differently and I doubt meaningful statistics exist as such. However there seem to be common grounds for avoiding the worst. Tiredness and stress appear to make T worse in all of us. So does loud noise. I understand eating chocolate and drinking strong coffee can make matters worse. So can colds and hayfever. Certain sound frequencies set mine off, I can't listen thru headphones, f inst. As to duration, my bouts do not last that long, perhaps 1-3 hours at times but there is no pattern. It varies throughout the day. It seems to increase slightly when I get hungry!! Certainly it doesn't go on for days. Like you, I have had T for some 14-15 years. The noise is ever present but I believe with advancing age mine has actually got much less intrusive. I take no medication or use any devices for my T. So there must be hope that things don't automatically get worse. If I were you I would try and analyse what brings on the 'bad days' and try to live accordingly.

Yours or hers? :-) You wrote:"If I were you I would try and analyse what brings on the 'bad days' and try to live accordingly. ..." Frankly, i have been trying to find this out without success. Wish someone knows the answer. Hi Thomas, Many thanks for your thoughts...it´s always helpful! ;-) Greetings, Anders > Hi, Anders > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >> Thanks, >> Anders |
