I also get a 3 day pattern, every now and then it changes to a 2 day pattern. This is the first time I have ever seen anyone else on Tinnitus Talk describe that. I also need to sleep for it to reset.

I did Hashir's online tinnitus course. It's just Jastreboff style CBT gaslighting. He doesn't know the first thing about tinnitus in my impression.

Sorry, I've been off line, I'm in Central Queensland. Suffering very very badly with my intrusive tinnitus. Hyperacusis has improved some. I've been diagnosed with a spinal fluid leak. I need to get to Sydney for a CT Myelogram. First it was a border issue preventing me getting there, now...

Every single night. It doesn't randomly get loud, it' always loud and incredibly intrusive, even in my sleep. The metallic sounds are the worst and slice my brain through the night. My tinnitus sounds are all over the brain, top, back, sides... not just ears. The sounds that have been waking me...

Thank you. I'll look at it more.

No. It is very unlikely. My issues are bilateral which would be super rare. I have the classic onset of a CSF leak, and I have classic symptoms. I have orthostatix head pain 24/7 (better lying down, worse standing), I have tinnitus which is red flag as 90% of people with leaks do. I have the...

I have started my application and made a lot of enquiries. On top of that you need to become a lifetime member of Exit International if you need a volunteer to identify you. That is around $1000. You also need to pay for your volunteer's travel, accommodation, COVID-19 testing and other...

The weight I lifted was only 10 kg but it made my head explode. I knew at the time it wasn't good. This wasn't normal. The rest of the class were lifting 20 kg dumbbells for this particular exercise. 6 days later the headache was still there so I went to emergency and underwent a traumatic...

Pressure in the head with headaches is really key information here. Raises red flags for me. It is how mine started and I think you should get that checked out.

Sorry to hear of your pain. I really sympathise. I have a feeling I might have had underlying IIH. I really don't know. This all started at the gym when I lifted a 10 kg dumbbell and my head exploded. 6 days later I had a badly performed lumbar puncture which finished me off. Interventional...

I understand. I was fit, well, happy, loving life. Just finished paying off our house and were planning a week away. Then, at 8.40am on 22nd August 2020 my life changed in a split second. My biggest fear was dying before my time and not seeing my kids grow, yet here we are. I'd say most...

Thank you. I have been doing no bending, lifting, twisting as best I can. I have had very little to do with my kids since this nightmare began. My husband does everything for them. My symptoms have changed since the blood patch. My head pressure felt good for 1 hour post patch. That is clear...

I joined the program and quit. I was/am so desperate for relief, I gave my money to a charlatan. If you're into woo woo, pseudo-science and conspiracy theories, it's the course for you. I don't think Liam had severe, intrusive, or debilitating tinnitus. I also don't think people who say his...

Sorry I just read over my post and I wasn't clear. I meant that my doctors HERE won't realise that you can want to die, and not be suffering with your mental health at the same time. They're pretty ignorant.

Yes, I'm not going to do a DIY job. I have been cleared of any metal health issues but if I try and fail, they won't recognise non terminal physical torture and suffering as separate from mental illness. If I try and fail I could also get worse and not be able to fly myself around the world solo...
