    I Am Starting rTMS in March

    i have not updated because I do not feel any relief yet, in any regard. However my condition is very severe, and it is normal to take 4 weeks to start feeling an improvement. Again, I am doing this for a chronic daily 24/7 headache (3 years), and Dysautonomia. Tinnitus is an added symptom of...

    But also I understand that your neurologist is sending you for a regular MRI to check structural issues

    I Am Starting rTMS in March

    @Blackbird26 if I get any relief from this I will post as much info as possible so that you too may get this treatment done and get relief! Sounds like we are similar. I totally understand about hesitating to do a(nother) MRI.. man those things are loud. Unfortunately this fMRI was the worst of...

    I Am Starting rTMS in March

    I appreciate the kind words, guys. Here are some updates regarding my future rTMS treatment! As a reminder, we are first and foremost targeting the intractable headache. My next biggest concern is the T, followed by mood issues (which are really from the pain more than anything else). I met...

    I Am Starting rTMS in March

    Snow86, I read your posts about rTMS making your T much more severe and I am so sorry. My heart truly goes out to you. I know how bothersome it must be to read my post with enthusiasm for starting rTMS when you regret doing it every day. When I read about people starting treatments that either...

    I Am Starting rTMS in March

    What literature? I have read so many articles about rTMS being one of the only things to ever give people with tinnitus relief, whether it is long lasting or not. Unfortunately, because I am going through my neurologist in private practice and it is not FDA approved for headaches/chronic pain...

    I Am Starting rTMS in March

    Hello all. I have had an intractable 24/7 headache for 3 years, coupled with tinnitus that started over a year ago (no known cause), and of course debilitating depression and anxiety (you can just imagine how being a 20 something year old with debilitating health issues feels..). I have been out...

    Why I Don't Believe "Tinnitus Cannot Be Cured"...

    One word: NEUROPLASTICITY- "The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life." For those of you who aren't aware, tinnitus IS an example of how neuroplasticity works. There was a point in almost all of our lives where we didn't this ringing...

    Spring TMS Device by eNeura

    Thanks for the response. That's what I thought, however, my tinnitus was not caused by (loud) sound, and it seems like the magnetic pulse may reach the auditory cortex? It's hard to tell. But for example in this video you can see where it affects the brain (fast forward to 1 minute in)

    Spring TMS Device by eNeura

    Hi everyone. 1 year with tinnitus now. I have just ordered the eNeura device "Spring TMS", a transcranial magnetic stimulator that is FDA approved for migraines and depression, and often used off label for tinnitus. I am very much looking forward to getting it. I try not to get too hopeful but...

    10 Months of 24/7 Tinnitus, CEFALY Migraine Band Started It

    You can read about the device here. I also want to add one of the only contraindications for this device is NOT to use if you have Meniere's Disease. Once it started my tinnitus I thought that must be what I have.. but I did an audiology test a few months ago and the doctor said I don't have MD...

    10 Months of 24/7 Tinnitus, CEFALY Migraine Band Started It

    My tinnitus started last November in an effort to relieve my constant headache I have had since April 2013 (29 months straight now, no answers or any medicines that have helped it). A family member from Canada brought me a "CEFALY" device (FDA finally approved it in USA but it's very difficult...

    Neuroscientists Identify Brain Mechanism Responsible for Tinnitus, Chronic Pain

    I'm assuming many of you have already seen the article posted by science daily yesterday but if not: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/09/150923133521.htm This is particularly fascinating and relevant to me as I have had a constant headache for 30 months, and constant tinnitus for 10...
