reply-posted that you think you got T from Lyme disease and he could
contact you on alt.support.tinnitus. I also wrote how to get to this
ng but he is a newbie and cant seem to figure out how to post here. He
seems very interested in contacting other Lyme-T people. Above is his
original post on the yahoo group. If you are interested, please
contact him at the email above.

Thanks, Jim, I will.

I don't "think" I got T from Lyme disease, it was part of the onset of
my acute illness, and it got extremely loud during initial antibiotic
treatment as the borrelia died off and produced endotoxins (what brought
me here) then become so soft that it's rarely noticable unless I'm ill,
eat a lot of salicylates, or go off antibiotics for a long time. It's a
very common occurrence with Lyme disease, and even sudden hearing loss
has been documented as a result of neuroborreliosis.
