    Is MiraLAX Safe If You Have Tinnitus?

    Hello, My tinnitus went away pretty quickly. If you haven’t tried already, B12 injections, along with methylfolate and iron supplements, helped reduce my tinnitus significantly. MiraLAX was horrible—I still remember that awful sound. It was absolutely the worst. But it did go away! I wouldn’t...

    Anxious! Colonoscopy & Sedation (Midazolam) — Experiences?!

    Thank you. I've decided against a colonoscopy for now because I just can't risk a worsening of two conditions I have, one of which is tinnitus. I just took a very small dose of MiraLAX and I'm still praying the spike it caused three days ago will go away. Of course as time passes, I get more...

    Is MiraLAX Safe If You Have Tinnitus?

    I just took about 1/20 of a dose of MiraLAX about 3 days ago, after reading this thread and not feeling concerned. (Despite not feeling overly concerned, I still wanted to be cautious because I've read bad things about MiraLAX in other respects -- I literally put just a thin layer of the powder...

    Rifaximin for SIBO — Can It Increase My Tinnitus?

    I've read his book, and another SIBO book, tons of online resources, medical studies, etc. I've also consulted with 3 gastroenterologists, with another planned later this month. And two naturopaths, with another planned later this month. Before the last two years, I never went to doctors. Ear...

    Colon Cleansing Supplement That Doesn't Spike Tinnitus

    Thank you. I guess she wants me to take something more for the first time because I've been bloated for months after reading those antibiotics. Then after the first major dose, I would do maintenance doses of something like the Calm. Right now, I've found and ordered a Magnesium Oxide product...

    Colon Cleansing Supplement That Doesn't Spike Tinnitus

    Hello. After harsh antibiotics last year, I have possibly developed chronic constipation (or else IBS). That has led to LPR or silent reflux, which may be the cause of recent tinnitus spike. Gastro doctor wants me to take Magnesium Citrate (a whole bottle or 300 ml) to try to clear out my...

    Tinnitus Relapse from Stress / Perimenopause / Root Canal / Quercetin / IV Antibiotics?

    Me too. But the only things I've read can help with hormones specifically are soy milk, and ground flax seed, both of which I consume daily. Do you have any other methods?

    PSA: Electroacupuncture — Be Aware of the Risk of Tinnitus Getting Worse, Permanently

    Oh and I did just now tell the acupuncturist what happened. He said he's never had anyone have a bad reaction. I am also dealing with some digestive issues caused by harsh antibiotics I took last year (normally I'm very healthy so all of this has been hell, to say the least). But I decided to...

    PSA: Electroacupuncture — Be Aware of the Risk of Tinnitus Getting Worse, Permanently

    Oh Jesus I'm so sorry. That sounds so much like exactly what happened with me, except I've had horrendous tinnitus in the past -- but I had surgery to correct and was just finally feeling better a couple of months before this happened. But I had dental drilling two weeks ago (root canal...

    PSA: To Everyony Who Hears Their Tinnitus "Only in a Quiet Room"

    Stay away from heavy drilling. If you can't -- INSIST that they drill for 5 seconds, then take a 10 second break. I told the Endodontist about this idea. But I wasn't firm that it was required. I REALLY regret not being more assertive and absolutely insisting, which is what I'm planning for next...

    Acupuncture Caused HORRIBLE Tinnitus Spike — WHY?!

    Thank you. Obviously I would zero percent recommend it at this point. I've just started taking NAC, Curcumin, and Magnesium, and praying that this spike does not last. For me, most spikes resolve within a day or two. I should say that I had another recent very noticeable spike, three weeks ago...

    Acupuncture Caused HORRIBLE Tinnitus Spike — WHY?!

    Thank you. I've read a bunch of threads at this point. The scary thing is that for some people, it never resolved. That's always the danger and reason I stay terrified.

    PSA: To Everyony Who Hears Their Tinnitus "Only in a Quiet Room"

    This makes me so sad. I did the same thing (root canal) about two weeks ago. I had an increase in volume that's staying steady. Meaning I haven't returned to baseline. And I'm really terrified because I go back for more drilling in two weeks. I just started taking NAC and wish I was more...

    PSA: Electroacupuncture — Be Aware of the Risk of Tinnitus Getting Worse, Permanently

    Hi. I'm so sorry your tinnitus never went back down. Have you habituated or are you still struggling? He put the needles just under my ear -- 3 of them, kind of in a direct line below the center of the ear (but on my neck). He also placed several on my earlobes. But I'm connecting the damage...
