    NUCCA Chiropractor for Tinnitus — Experiences and Questions

    I am visiting one tomorrow for my first treatment. He did x-rays and my spine and atlas are totally unaligned. I am willing to try anything.

    Praying This Is Just a Spike... 5 Days Now and Hoping It Isn't Permanent. Losing My Mind.

    Thanks, I dont think there was any permanent damage so this must be a spike. My spikes have never lasted more then a day and I am now on day 5 and I just cant sleep. Even sleeping pills arent helping. I guess I will have to start my yoga and deep breathing again and do everything I did when I...

    Praying This Is Just a Spike... 5 Days Now and Hoping It Isn't Permanent. Losing My Mind.

    Hey all, I have mild to slightly loud tinnitus that I have gotten used to. It spikes at night so I use masking you tube videos on my laptop and I can mask it no problem. About 5 days ago I started feeling a bit sick and my ear that has T (from a ruptured ear drum) started to hurt. I called...

    Activism NOW

    So how do we unite and put pressure on the doctors and politicians to do something about it. We are strong in numbers but we need to figure this out together and do something about it.

    Yup I found out very quick that it will. I am not taking it anymore and I hope this spike subsides. Now I have a serious dilemma. How to cure the SIBO without Rifaximin?

    Rifaximin for SIBO — Can It Increase My Tinnitus?

    Well my question got answered only a few hours after I took it. My tinnitus spiked from 4/10 to 8/10 with major crackling and fullness in the ears. Sadly I really need to take this medication and I hope to god my tinnitus goes back to baseline when I'm done. I've only taken one pill out of 28...

    Rifaximin for SIBO — Can It Increase My Tinnitus?

    Hey guys! Does anyone here suffer from SIBO or IBS and take Rifaximin? If so, did it affect your tinnitus? I'm having the usual anxiety we all have when trying a new medication. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Major Spike from Possible Sinus Infection or Sinus Issues, and It's Driving Me Crazy

    Not the slightest bit bro. Pretty sure its a sinus infection and it caused the spike. I'm not taking any antibiotics unless I absolutely need to. In the meantime I will deal with this spike, I'm just hoping its short term and not my new baseline.

    Major Spike from Possible Sinus Infection or Sinus Issues, and It's Driving Me Crazy

    Thanks as always Glynnis. Ive been steaming 3 x a day the past two days. I have SIBO(gut issues) and antihistimines really rev up my symptoms. I'm going to try it anyway as my T is really driving me crazy. Thanks again

    Major Spike from Possible Sinus Infection or Sinus Issues, and It's Driving Me Crazy

    This spike is really pissing me off. My T hasn't been this bad in a long time and its not quieting down. I have had a lot of sinus pain the past few days but I don't think I have an infection although it wouldn't surprise me if I did. I am pissed off and angry and really hoping it goes back...
