Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / March 2008It is important to stick to what works for you.
Recalling my experience with tinnitus during the early stages, I would recommend that tinnitus patients stick to what has worked for them regardless whether the same method has worked for millions of 'others'. More interesting still was that what had once worked for me, if discontinued for no reason, failed to work again the second time. So stick to what has worked for you. Treating tinnitus is a patient process, very very patient process. >Recalling my experience with tinnitus during the early stages, I would >recommend that tinnitus patients stick to what has worked for them >regardless whether the same method has worked for millions of >'others'.

There are worse things and be glad you don't have them. Or I bet you do have them. Most hypochondriac's, like fyfpoon, have it all. And become internet forum and NG doctors, with NG nurses like Susan at their side spewing remarkable remedies. >So stick to what has worked for you.

When I forgot or screw up somehow (I'm only human) I learn once again that doing a bad thing makes it worse. I was not thinking the other day, and I had Latte, but forgot to make it decaf. I regretted that for hours. It's so easy, when things get better, to think that maybe just this once I can try this thing; but I have yet to find one thing that is bad for my tinnitus that has stopped being bad for my tinnitus. I've had to accept that there are certain things I no longer can do, unless I'm willing to suffer. Fortunately, for me (because I know it's even more difficult for others) I have been able to stop the things that are bad and not have terrible cravings for them. But still, I always have to be so aware of what goes into my body and so careful and responsible for myself. But, when tinnitus is bad, it is so worth giving up some things, most of which we don't need anyway, and are sometimes not good (or even bad) for us even if we did not have tinnitus. I agree with you; stick with what works. > Recalling my experience with tinnitus during the early stages, I would > recommend that tinnitus patients stick to what has worked for them [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > So stick to what has worked for you.

For example, I used to avoid napping, as napping produced something unpleasant for hours. Later on, I indulged myself in napping. That is to say, I was no longer afraid of napping and I went ahead to nap at any time I wanted. Amazingly, once I made up my mind to do it, it was not that terrible any more. Napping helped my nerve recover, and lessoned my tinnitus. But when you explain it to doctors, they invariably tell you something that is millions of miles away from what you think is right while they themselves have no answers. Just do what you think is right! >> I have found that there are things that make my tinnitus worse, and things >> that make it better.

If you'd stop toking that bong all day you won't need a nap. Your doc tells you something millions of miles aways cuz he realizes you're a fool. Give your doc the email address of your boy scout friend in China. That would make him a believer eh! >Just do what you think is right! What helps tinnitus is Broadwy Musicals. These engage the mind as well as the ear. Some persons have benfited by "spending time" liske a guided meditation in the time Before they had the tinnitus. At least 20 minutes a day. Imagine your first car, but you must use all five senses. For some, the direction may affect the neuroplasticity. Sleep is very important. Some benefit with Melatonin. Very important to have a fixed routine for sleep and go to bed same time so the sleep clock is set. Try the relaxation exercises at www.ent-consult.com Murray Grossan, M.D. Www.earaid.info Two techniques displayed there. 1) distraction 2) relaxation and stress relief. Now if the good doctor was here he would demand peer (standing or sitting) reviewed, double blind studies or the whole concept is just a scam to make somebody a profit....LOL. Very funny now. > What helps tinnitus is Broadwy Musicals.

Do what works and don't ever give up trying. Many here want to have something to whine about like a bunch of babies. This doesn't mean I have no sympathy for sufferers, just no sympathy for people that have whined for years and say nothing ever works. If you read between the lines on their "trials", missing one cup of coffee was a lifetime of struggling. >I have found that there are things that make my tinnitus worse, and >things that make it better.

Its obvious that you and fyfpoon got a "thing" going on. Maybe conjoined twins joined at the ear. >>I have found that there are things that make my tinnitus worse, and >>things that make it better.
