I did try mag. No help. But thanks anyway.

No, not really.

Thanks for the info, @21cbrain. I'm glad that nortriptyline worked for your migraines. It ended up not being the answer for my headaches, unfortunately, and it aggravated the tinnitus. So, I'm still looking for something that will help the daily headaches without hurting the tinnitus.

Whoops. Sorry, meant to quote @Danielle85 and respond: Great that you got some benefit from acupuncture. I've gotten some benefit with low back pain (I tested on and off with treatment and it seemed pretty clear to me that acupuncture was working, but it obviously wasn't a scientific study)...

Yes, @Kaelon, there's a lot of interconnections, especially from the shoulders up. The myofacial pain specialist I saw gave me some exercises to do after the first appointment. They gave me a somewhat greater range of jaw motion, but they pretty clearly made the headaches worse. I didn't...

@Kaelon I had been holding out some hope that my tinnitus was rooted in TMJ, but at this point it doesn't look like it. Just got back earlier today from another appointment at a teaching hospital with a specialist in myofacial pain and TMJ. At this point, her opinion is that the facial/jaw...

Wow, you're lucky. I'd kill for good sleep.

I found Dr. Nagler's post useful when thinking about researching TRT options in my area: "One of the problems with TRT is that the name is not trademarked - so with many clinicians claiming to offer TRT, what you see is not necessarily what you get. And to my way of thinking, that represents an...

Thanks @Martin69. I've certainly been having a tough time finding the right sounds for sleep, that's for sure. I'm OK with pink noise or even white during the day. I'll check around for something like cricket sounds and give it a try. Sound therapy was so much simpler before my (permanent)...

In addition to my post above, take a look at post #18 (with attachment) from Doctor Nagler in response to a TRT question I asked in this thread: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/who-here-has-habituated-to-high-frequency-tonal-tinnitus.9200/#post-108322. I think you'll see there that TRT...

Mine used to be just steady tones - different tones in each ear, but both were generally steady. Since it spiked about 4 months ago, mine shift/move around and that's makes it infinitely more difficult for me to ignore. Plus there's what sounds like a chainsaw running on one side and that goes...

I used to have two somewhat different high-pitched tones when T started about 9 years ago. Things like bedside maskers and driving a car would mask them enough to get relief. Now, after a 4 month old spike with added sounds and volume, something like riding in a car not only does not pleasingly...

Here's a short overview about allergies and tinnitus I found on the ATA website: http://www.ata.org/Allergies-and-tinnitus-an-overview

Understood. Many thanks.
