Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / November 2007tinnitus
Hi All My name is Richard and I live in Folsom, California I developed Tinnitus AUG 21st, 2007. I have a very high pitch squeal, that is very disturbing, also accompanied with this, my face, hands and legs go numb every day. Ativan is the only thing that allows me to function. My Doctor at Kaiser says I'm anxious, and that is the reason I am going numb. I do not believe this, I believe that the signal I am listening to is attacking my nervous system and causing it shutdown everyday. I am numb after sleeping and when I wake up, can one be anxious while asleep? Do I have nervous system damage from some traumatic event, I have had a chiro adjustment, with no luck. My MD wants me to see a psych, how can this possibly help with the nervous system, and numbness? Anyboby have any ideas.

Check your blood glucose, it is nice to be able to eliminate a diabetes issue when you have neurological symptoms in the extremeties. > My Doctor at Kaiser says I'm anxious, and that is the reason I am > going numb. Or diabetic, for a guess you need to eliminate. > Anyboby have any ideas. Your tinnitus is just another sound, stop trying not to listen to it. i have written about this previously ... go google my occasional posts in this forum. Note: I am no a medical professional, and I am just guessing based on avaiable information.

Richard > Can ativan be used to control diabetes? Not likely, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorazepam says: Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine tranquilizer with short to medium duration of action. It has all five intrinsic benzodiazepine effects: anxiolytic, sedative/hypnotic, amnesic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant, to different extents.[1] It is a unique benzodiazepine insofar as it has also found use as an adjunct antiemetic in chemotherapy. Since its introduction in 1971, lorazepam's principal use has been in treating the symptom of anxiety. Compared to other benzodiazepines, lorazepam has relatively high addictive potential. It would appear that the muscle relaxation is what the prescription is indicated from, but the warning about addictive seems should be noted, seems like treating a symptom rather than treating a cause to me, but even that is just speculating. IF the problem is muscular tension, then the question becomes one of the cause of it. Again: I am NOT a medical professional. > Richard Kind regards Peter Larsen On 11 5 , 4 19 , zzzg...@yahoo.com wrote: > Hi All > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Richard Try ginko biloba for 2 weeks and see if it helps you. Make sure you do take this herb properly as directed by the manufacturer. Don't cheat yourself by taking less than is prescribed. I used to be on Ativan. If I were you, I would take at least 6 months to unwind from it. It is highly addictive. Did you doctor put you into it? Does he know how to get you out? All chiropractors are not the same. I have visited quite a few over the past 15 years. Some massage, some don't. Some use an instrument of some kind, some don't. Some are hands on, some are not. Even doctors don't touch much these days. How did your chiro treat you? The best chiros I have been to gave me a thorough massage before the chiropractic adjustment. My favourite one now tells me where I have a tense muscle before I even knew I had one. I ask him what to do about and he gives me an exercise to do. Sometimes I can't do what he suggests (because of physical limitations) so he finds another way round it. If your body goes numb there must definitely be a muscular problem somewhere. See if you can find some physical therapist who will give you better information. If your chiro did not give you a massage, find one that does. Perhaps you can ask how his treatment works before you shell out big bucks. Have a read of this webpage while you are waiting. http://eebee.net/TinnitusIsaPainintheNeck.html Elly -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.

Find a chiro that spends more than 30 seconds with you. It makes a big difference. Chiros in the USA have a licence to become quacks, real quick. In Canada they are more controlled, I believe. > All chiropractors are not the same. I have visited quite a few over > the past 15 years. Some massage, some don't.
