Stephen headed a tinnitus clinic for a few years. Most patients were treated by methods other than TRT.
Has Christian mentioned TRT as a goal of his? I have not read all the posts.

The pulsatile effect is a result of extreme muscle tension - I have had it too. The dizziness is a result of extreme muscle tension - I have had it too occasionally.
Find a trusted therapist who will do his job and tell you whether you have tension or not. Until you know for sure you will not take steps to go any further.
Doctors do not test in this area. Did your doctor ever feel your neck or shoulder? You have to do your own research.

>where is Stephen and why hasnt he answered my query in my " desperate " >thread. Everyone else has ignored me on that and gone on to discuss >what they want to discuss...most selfish Chrfistian's thread was: HI
Ive suffered from tinnitus for many years ( im 32) and odd episodes of dizziness too ( for months on end at times). i have to say that i blame myself because i suspect i caused the tinnitus etc but listening to music on my walkman when i was young and foolish. It had been at least 4 years since my last episode of dizziness. However, about 7 weeks ago, i started to get a fluttering sensation and thumping sound in my left ear and movement felt in my right. i couldnt sleep, it was very bad and distracting. Then i flew to Mexico and on descent it was quite painful and i was virtually deaf and feeling dizzy... and the next night after the 10 hour flight there was no such fluttering ( ???) but then i was hit by dizziness for 2 weeks and now the fluttering has returned since a day after my return flight and i have the tinnitus too. Whilst i was in mexico, i saw a doctor and he tested me...he said my eustachian tubes were both swollen and this would account for the noise. I should also add that 2 months before all this i had felt blockage in my left ear and maybe maybe very foolishy i had it syringed which didnt seem to make a difference ( and myabe i should have left it because it was probably an infection). So, any thoughts anyone ?

Have you visited a doctor yet? Do you have medical insurance? Can you afford to pay?
I went through the whole thing you are going through. My cause was in the nerve. You have to ask a doctor to find out what yours is. He can guess, of course.

Everyone else has ignored me on that and gone on to discuss > what they want to discuss...most selfish #1) People DID respond to your "Desperate" post- You were not ignored. You're convinced your dizziness is due solely to your hearing.
#2) Threads do go on different tangents. Fact of life.
#3) Somewhat egotistical to expect someone (in this case, S.Nagler) to reply and to wonder why he hasn't responded to your thread- maybe he doesn't even read this ng any longer?
#4) It is equally unrealistic to expect someone to give a diagnosis and treatment options concerning complex subjective symptoms without seeing you in person with the results of tests. Floating an idea and/or suggestion is really all can expect from a ng. So even if S. Nagler did respond I don't think that would be the end of your problems.

There must be some inexpensive massage parlours around in UK. Get a referral to visit a certified acupuncturist and see if it helps. The cause of your tinnitus 'might be' in the nerve.
Elly Byrne - 27 Jul 2005 21:06 GMT I thought I had already said that: "Find a trusted therapist who will do his job and tell you whether you have tension or not. Until you know for sure you will not take steps to go any further."
Find a massage therapist/chiropractor/osteopath. Ask them how they work. Find out if there is tension in the body. Have an initial treatment to reduce the tension.
Then look at your lifestyle to see what is causing that tension and correct it.
Do you grind your teeth or clench your jaw? If YES see a dentist. And read my website. There are nearly 20 pages on various subjects.

That guy could have gone to a private specialist in HK for about US$100 per visit, or a state hospital in China for US$ONE per visit. The waiting in HK is one to two days while in China is instant on the same day.
How much does it cost in the US and how many waiting days are there?

Ben - 27 Jul 2005 19:48 GMT > It tell you once again the 'socialist' medical system in UK is on the > verge of collapsing. Why don't you stick to commenting on what you know about! Judging by a lot of your posts, that is very little. The NHS is the envy of the world, because where else can you be treated free at the point of delivery, instead of it depending on how much money is in your wallet, or bank? When my mother was ill the doctor came out to see her in her own home on several occasions. She had loads of different tests, and taken to hospital by ambulance. She had to stay in a psychiatric ward, and was asssessed and cared for exceptionally well. When she left there to return home, a specialised nurse called in on a regular basis to check on how she was coping. All of this, including medicines, cost her absolutely NOTHING! As she was a state pensioner she would never have been able to afford any of the above had it not been for our NHS.

We seem to address the needs of tinnitus sufferers here when we address tinnitus issues instead of characters.

Christian - 28 Jul 2005 00:33 GMT Actually, im just someone who is suffering from bad dizziness and looking for some support, guidance and answers. Im virtually suicidal.
Elly Byrne - 28 Jul 2005 21:22 GMT >Actually, im just someone who is suffering from bad dizziness and >looking for some support, guidance and answers. Im virtually suicidal. The dizziness can be relieved by seeing to the muscle tension. The Swedish clinic finds Meniere's the easiest thing to treat.

fyfpoon@gmail.com - 28 Jul 2005 18:13 GMT Dear Christian,
Regardless whether or not what you are going through is real, I would suggest the following. A friend of mine once went through what you described, and he was almost at the point of being suicidal. I am going to answer your question so that those whose suffering is equally real could read this.
His name is Brian Tai. He went through what you are going through with tinnitus sound and dizziness. He recovered six months later and is now *totally* rid of his previous sufferings.
The method he used was a combination of will power and exercises, with the help of perhaps some medicine. You could write to him and ask him for his survival experiences at briantai26@hotmail.com.
Good luck to you,
FP

Moslem - 28 Jul 2005 23:03 GMT Yes Christian is obviously BEN. It's OK Ben - dont worry we understand.
Ben - 30 Jul 2005 09:05 GMT If you need help Christian this is about the last place on earth to be, with the exception of Elly trying her best. I hope you feel better soon, or that your GP will at least prescribe Betahistine for the dizziness.

So, in your opinion the UK should be able to cure T? Hah! Christian would be feeling desperate wherever he lived, moron! He has really bad tinnitus and dizziness and you have been NO help to him whatsoever. The only person on this newsgroup who is actually helpful seems to be Elly - well done Elly!

Hah! So are you suggesting that Christian has more confidence with amateurs like us than the doctors in UK? Hah! He is also trying outloud for Dr. Nagler to come to his rescue. Does it mean that he thinks Dr. Nagler is better than all the doctors he could afford to visit in UK?

Staff - 28 Jul 2005 22:15 GMT >> Then why is Christian feeling so desperate? He is living in UK. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Ben Well, Ben, I guess we "losers" found out how much "Christian" appreciated Stephen not flying to the UK to treat him. Poon, who trolls this and many other groups, loves this sort of thing. It isn't easy to ignore his asinine posts. Currently his tinnitus, if he even has tinnitus, is caused by a "nerve" and he finds relief through acupuncture, massage, ginkgo and sleeping without a pillow. Last year it was caused by his kidneys and he found relief by eating black beans. Before that he found relief through "herbal injections" (picture your pantry) while sitting in a hyperbaric chamber. It has also been related to "somatic discomfort", circulatory problems and mental issues. Poor guy is a mess, huh?

Christian - 29 Jul 2005 10:41 GMT i have to say im sceptical about ELLY's idea about it all being muscle tension. i looked at the Swedish site and that seemed to be more about addressing vertigo, tinnitus caused by pain in the jaw.
Moslem - 29 Jul 2005 12:26 GMT > i have to say im sceptical about ELLY's idea about it all being muscle > tension. i looked at the Swedish site and that seemed to be more about > addressing vertigo, tinnitus caused by pain in the jaw. Elly means well, but I think her approach is too restricted. Muscle tension, blood supply, nerve issues... all IMO play their part and are susceptible to different approaches in treatment.
fyfpoon@gmail.com - 29 Jul 2005 19:07 GMT Dear Christian,
You are right that not all tinnitus causes have come from muscle tension. Oftentimes we don't even know what that is. Even your good doctors in UK have no clue, obviously.
I am afraid it is going to be a process of trials and errors before you could find out what causes your t. I don't necessarily agree to those who refuse to find out 'why' but just espouse habituation as the only course.
You might try what I listed before. If I were you, I would try out 1-2 sessions of acupuncture, chiro, gingko, etc.. Pay close attention to how your t reacts after each one.
