Ginkgo biloba spikes mine like crazy, yet another expensive supplement that doesn’t help!

As with everything else I have tried, it didn’t help! I’ve tried every supplement known to man, some like Ginkgo give me spikes, as do probiotics. It’s ridiculous. The Otovent balloon is my party trick, but as with everything else, it doesn’t work!

How bizarre, I’ve been thinking the same, but thought it was just me. I’m on long term antibiotics so have been taking Probiotics for my gut, but noticed they give me a huge spike. I left them off for a week and no spikes! Ironic as they are supposed to help. Saying that, Ginkgo biloba gives...

Hi. Has anybody had any success with nasal irrigation, Neti pot etc? I have bilateral screeching 24/7, ETD and rhinitis. I have tried everything else so thought I’d give it a go. Today the screeching is extremely loud but after I used the Neti pot for the first time, the volume has gone off the...

Thank you Michael, I understand what you are saying. I do not use headphones, in ear or over, but am unable to sleep, I have a white noise machine but it doesn’t cut it. For my cause of tinnitus I entered "Flight", because I was fine before the flight, got on the plane as fit as a flea, got off...

Has anybody tried the new second edition Bose SleepBuds, please? Bose said they withdrew the original ones because of the batteries. The new edition's batteries they say hold a 10 hour charge, the original ones were longer. They are expensive but I’m happy to pay if they work? I have...

Lane, I should have added the antibiotic was for a persistent uti, nothing to do with my screeching, however after wasting a month on the particular one, the lab report confirmed I should not be taking that one, so it’s been changed to another one which is at least working for the bladder pain...

I too am convinced it goes up with the full moon, I didn’t actually know the date of this one, mine has been off the scale for a few days but I’ve been taking an ototoxic antibiotic, I can’t get my doctor to change it, so put the extra volume down to that, then just happened to see the full moon...

I’m a bit late to the party, but just want to add to this that SSRI’s are not always used to treat PPPD, that was my last diagnosis and whilst the jury is still out on whether it’s actually a condition, some refer to it as wastebasket syndrome, personally I’m not convinced, I have bilateral...

Just seen this thread, screeching tinnitus and full on wobbles all day, been keeping a diary recently of the tinnitus and the wobbles, back tracked to last month and the same occurred with the full moon, didn’t even realise it was today, so although I find it weird and unnerving it seems the...

I just don’t know, my ENT doctors have been spectacularly useless in my case, first they said Labyrinthitis then Ménière’s then Vestibular migraine then MdDS and now PPPD! Then they said we can’t help you, goodbye, disgusting way to treat someone but there you go!

I’m the same, walk like a drunken sailor, was bedridden for 4 months in 2017, now hardly walk at all, but I do cycle about 20-25 miles a week and have just started swimming two to three times a week, except today the wobbles and screeching is very bad, have done 4 miles on the bicycle , was...

Alcohol or sleeping pills for me, otherwise no sleep at all, I've tried and after tossing and turning till the wee small hours, now I don't even bother, it's either drink or sleeping pills, cannot bare another night of tossing and turning till 6 a.m!
