Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / August 2006New Here
Hi all, I've had tinnitus for several years, on and off, it comes and goes, and now it comes! Is this a pattern? Anyone? Are there any treatments available? My doc. says not, also that he knew someone (or a paper he'd read) where a person had their ?? nerve cut but still had tinnitus. I quit Fiorinal (migraines) years ago having discovered that it contained ASA and which apparently may exacerbate tinnitus. Could ASA cause tinnitus? So thanks for reading, any ideas or news greatly appreciated. Diana PS The following is seemingly remarkable to me - we have a new puppy in the house and she has a shrill bark. One morning 'shrill barking' hurt my tinnitus ear. I truly felt a pain in my ear and the next thing I noticed *no* tinnitus. Oh joy! It's returned, however, ;o( Your doc is a very dumb person to have said something like that to you that there is no cure for tinnitus. There may not be a cure to your level of satisfaction but there are many treatments which, if applied appropriately to your specific case, can release you from the discomfort associated with your T. However, from what I have read here, most American doctors are very dumb people and they close their eyes to what is possible elsewhere beyond the border of the American medical establishment; the latter being a Nazi monopoly. Try the following folk method which I have used: (1)Take a tablet of gingko biloba each day in the morning. Take to a pharmacist first. (2)Do a combination of muscle relaxation exercise of your neck and shoulder including using a chiro pillow to sleep at night and a visit to a chiro once a week.. Try the above for at least a month to see if anyting tangible comes along.

I dispute your comment that the doc "is a very dumb person" when he said there is no cure for tinnitus. You follow with: "There may not be a cure to your level of satisfaction but there are many treatments...". So truly *not* a *cure*. > Try the following folk method which I have used: > (1)Take a tablet of gingko biloba each day in the morning.

Thank you for outlining the above suggestions/treatments that are available for this condition, not only for myself but also for others who post here. While on this topic have your or any other readers had success with accupunture? Diana > I will certainly investigate ginko biloba ... > Thank you for outlining the above suggestions/treatments that are available > for this condition, not only for myself but also for others who post here. Ginkgo has helped some T sufferers I know of, but you must be careful to buy a well standardized, independently tested product. In addition, it's antithrombotic and can cause bleeding if too much is taken, or if you're also taking a blood thinner, aspirin, vitamin E, garlic or fish oil for example. > While on this topic have your or any other readers had success with > accupunture? Nope, with the exception of one woman who thought it *may* have, but then it didn't appear to last. Studies have found no effect on T.

IMO 'herbs' etc ('scuse my bundling these together) should be treated the same as OTC and Rx drugs, that is, with a certain degree of caution. Thanks for the additional information. I don't take a blood thinner and bruise easily. I don't take aspirin because I read that is is bad for tinnitus, but do have lots of garlic, maybe too much (uh oh) and fish, and sometimes f.oil. >> While on this topic have your or any other readers had success with >> accupunture? > Nope, with the exception of one woman who thought it *may* have, but then > it didn't appear to last. > Studies have found no effect on T. That's too bad I thought it might a 'cure' ;o( Thanks again, lots of information to absorb still. I've been troubled with tinnitus a good many years but just lately it has imposed itself rather too much. I used to take Fiorinal for migraine until I discovered that it contained ASA. Then I believed it was the 'cause', however, it didn't go away when I stopped the Fiorinal. Diana > Thanks Susan.

Exactly; strong enough to help means strong enough to hurt. Thanks for the additional information. I don't take a blood > thinner and bruise easily. I don't take aspirin because I read that is is > bad for tinnitus, but do have lots of garlic, maybe too much (uh oh) and > fish, and sometimes f.oil. You might just notice easy bruising, or you could have internal bleeding. Fish oil alone makes a huge diff in my glucose blood droplets when I stick myself. > That's too bad I thought it might a 'cure' ;o( I've used it in the past for sciatica and even sinus infection successfully, but never heard anything solid about it for T, except for the overall feeling of relaxation it produces, which I remember well. > Thanks again, lots of information to absorb still. > I've been troubled with tinnitus a good many years but just lately it has > imposed itself rather too much.

Sorry about your migraines. :-( Susan > You might just notice easy bruising, or you could have internal bleeding. > Fish oil alone makes a huge diff in my glucose blood droplets when I stick > myself. Sorry, don't understand here, is the fish oil something good for bruising/bleeding? And why do you 'stick' yourself. Are you testing for diabetes? > I've used it in the past for sciatica and even sinus infection > successfully, but never heard anything solid about it for T, except for > the overall feeling of relaxation it produces, which I remember well. 'Relaxing' sounds good anyway. I might check with my physio next time I need to get my headaches under control, maybe there will be a benefit. > Sorry about your migraines. :-( If it's not one thing it's another. Thanks again for responding to me, I appreciate it. Diana PS Just located the FAQ so will have a read there... > Sorry, don't understand here, is the fish oil something good for > bruising/bleeding? Fish oil and gingko biloba are both anti thrombotics, they thin the blood, make it clot less. And why do you 'stick' yourself. Are you testing for > diabetes? I'm testing for post meal glucose, yes. > 'Relaxing' sounds good anyway. I might check with my physio next time I > need to get my headaches under control, maybe there will be a benefit. Have you tried it for your headaches? I used to have a lot of migraines, vomiting, a day weak as can be after. Awful.

I know about the Ginko being dangerous for blood thinning. But fishoil? Why would my cardiologist prescribe both aspirin AND fish oil?

Because most doctors are ignorant dopes? Fish oil will lower your triglycerides and prevent clotting.

Try not to listen to anything he says. Most people in here have this guy in their kill files. If you disagree with him, he will tell you that you simply don't understand English.

It is not always easy to separate the wheat from the chaff when reading a different Newsgroup and so appreciate your input. Diana |
