Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / August 2006Pulsatile tinnnitus, two-week onset. Advice needed
First, a brief timeline: Four weeks ago, went wakeboarding. As I am not the best boarder in the world, I face-planted twice while trying to cross the wake. I felt dizzy after this and sat out for the rest of the afternoon, but then decided it would be a good idea to get dragged around behind the boat at 40MPH lying prone aboard a tube raft. Needless to say, my head bounced around a lot - mostly up and down. I spent a week with near-blinding headaches. I thought I had a concussion, but the doc said no. Pain persists to this day in a small spot on the top left of my head, and around my left brow ridge. Three weeks ago, I got a nasty sore throat with stabbing pains in my ears, especially the left one. Doc prescribed a -floxin antibiotic and it went away in a week. Mild pressure remained in the left ear, but no pain. While I was there, I asked the doc if I might try some Viagra samples, since things had been on-again, off-again in that department for no apparent reason. Two weekes ago, after the -floxin prescription had run it's course, I decided to give the Viagra a try. I don't remember exactly - I may have heard a really light, hardly noticeable whoosh-whoosh during excercise the day before. But I definately heard it while engaged in strenuous activity involving the V. Also two weeks ago, a very stressful arguement with a former SO began and has continued since. Been feeling something akin to panic attacks since then Since then, I haven't used the Viagra but have egaged in various streunous activities. The PT is getting worse. As of tonight, not doing anything other than standing up or sitting down and generally being angry about a few things, the PT is constant. Also constant, the pain in my face and head, as well as a slight numbness about the face, and the left ear has begun hurting again. The PT is both scaring me and driving me nuts. I've had plain ol' rock 'n' roll tinnitus for years (being involved in rock 'n' roll for a living) but this thing is crazy in the making. Possibilities I've considered: * muscle or nerve damage in the head and neck from the boating causing... * tension from pain from above damage causing... * tension from arguing with ex, as well as job-related stress. * alien life-form growing inside my head, swelling and pressing against a blood vessel in my ear * I really DID have a concussion, and my brain is swelling, putting pressure on something... * the gods hate me I have no idea if there's a link between any of this or not, causality being what it is, but I certainly think there may be. Any advice welcomed. > First, a brief timeline: > [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > > Any advice welcomed. I think a very possible cause of your tinnitus is from your kidney, which may have been ove-used due to too much strenuous sex activities with the help of Viagara. You are probably thinking that I am joking but I am not. The traditional Chinese medical theory espouses that a _common_ cause of tinnitus is a tired, weakened, disfunctioning kidney which bears a close relationship to the inner ear. A couple of years ago i posted an article here in this ng about the relationship between inner ear and kidney and this discovery was made by the American doctors in Boystown Hospital in Alaska. A weakened or overused kideny, which in your case may have been caused by the use of V med in your sex activity, can be a direct cause of your tinnitus. This theory of the TCM is of course not subscribed by 'modern' doctors but has been a basis upon which a treatment of tinnitus is made in Traditional Chinese Medicine. There would be no quick fix for this if it were your case, but some remedial actions can be taken: (1)Try to reduce your sexual activities. Rest a while if you can. And use NO medicine for this activity. (2)Go to a certified herbalist or a popular one in Chinatown and talk to him about what I told you. He can prescribe you some herbs by which your kidney function is strengthened. Once you experience improvement, do NOT stop! Continue the med until the body can get back on its foot. But be careful when you are using synthetic medication to empower or make more exciting your sexual activities. YOu may end up paying a terrible price later on. Hi DredheadV2.0, > Possibilities I've considered: > * muscle or nerve damage in the head and neck from the boating [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > pressure on something... > * the gods hate me How would you react if someone would say all of the above? :-) If you can, try to concentrate on relieving the tension parts. The muscle or nerve damage and the concussion will heal after time, but the tension won't go away that easily. What I mean is that if you feed your anxiety, it will stay with you. I've gone through this after a low speed car crash, where my anxiety was triggered by a colleague talking about whiplash. I had similar symptoms like numbness and pain, and they only went after a therapist reassured me that there was no nerve damage like there is in a real whiplash. I strongly suggest that you consult a physical or manual therapist to rule out the muscle/nerve damage option, and get advice on relaxation. cheers, Enno Most important! See your doctor first. If no cause can be found after various tests have been performed, then it is most likely due to MUSCLE TENSION. Please see a massage therapist - trusted chiropractor, physiotherapist, aroma therapist etc. See if there is tension in your body. Ask questions of the therapist. Where is the tension? http://eebee.net/pt.shtml Elly >First, a brief timeline: > [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > >Any advice welcomed.

The 'tinyurl' above is a shortcut to a packed url carrying Elly's affiliate id to a viral marketing website. If you click it you will find 7 new cookies on your computer from the website, all intended to reward Elly for her disingenuousness. If you purchase anything from the website Elly will get 51% of your hard-earned cash. Her customary link above the tinyurl is also spam because she wants you to buy her book on Tinnitus. How can you trust anything she writes? Her 'lite' remarks in the post are only a ploy to hide her real intentions, to use this ng for personal income. There are tons of newsgroups and forums one can go to discuss the wonderful world of internet marketing. Leaving your personal websites and spam links is encouraged and admired there. But when you apply your deceptive marketing tricks in an environment where people are looking for help to end their suffering; sending them off to 'zero-content land' to make you a couple bucks; its a waste of their time, its heartless and inhuman! As for Ellys 'muscle tension' theory, one of the largest tinnitus studies done recently was by the Oregon Department of Otolaryngology (http://www.tinnitusarchive.org). The study of 1625 people Indicates that 2-5% of tinnitus cases are caused by neck injury. Muscle tension is not even mentioned in the study results so I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt with the 'neck injury' line item interpretation. Maybe she would like to discuss the results of that study instead of spewing spam? (http://www.tinnitusarchive.org/dataSets/set-1/tinnitusHistory/onsetFactorsReported) > > Most important!

Your claim must be based on an assumptions that no one ever writes a self-help book to actually help people, and that earning a living trying to help people is evil. I don't get it. > There are tons of newsgroups and forums one can go to discuss the > wonderful world of internet marketing.

What deception are you talking about? Cookies used to be deceptive, but you can't claim they are deceptive anymore. You know you can disallow cookies, so disallow them.

You get a 'friendly' invite from a neighbor to her house for dinner. Let's say you are really hungry and the neighbor knows that. Once you get there it turns out to be a book party (she is selling cookbooks) and she is serving a bag of Fritos for dinner. IMHO, the invitation was spam, the whole operation is a scam. What would change this? IMHO, if the neighbor identified her true purpose and details up front with just a simple sentence. > > You don't have the definition of spam right either. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > What would change this?

Oxford: send the same email message indiscriminately to (large numbers of users). Webster's: unsolicited usually commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses American Heritage: To send (a message) indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups. Hutchinson: Unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE) sent in bulk If you get some free food and in the process get introduced to a cook book, what is wrong with that? You talk like an American commie... \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > > You don't have the definition of spam right either. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > What would change this?

Mr. "Victory is Mine!" Martin, your defining post for me was (http://tinyurl.com/fj4v6). I won't play. I'm not here for games. The posts I come here to enjoy are the ones from newbies. Their posts have heart, purpose, meaning, no deceptions, and no ego. > > I feel a need to remind you not to top post and that you still don't > > know what spam means.

I keep arguing with you because your posts are full of deception and ego.
