Thank you, pumpkin.
I was just thinking something similar as I was logging on. Each morning I make a decision to be happy and to have a good day and to be nice to other people. I do not let my tinnitus or car problems or bills or other things influence who I will be or what my mood will be.
Welcome to the forum. Sometimes what makes a situation scary is when we do not really know what is going on or how it will develop. And that can cause us to be helpless. Here you will find support and gain some knowledge, which help to displace some of our fears and anxiety.
Maybe the ant had come in thru the other ear and traveled across....just kidding. Hehehe
About 6 months ago a flea got in my ear during the night. It kept moving around. That was annoying! I tried putting water in my ear, thinking the flea would climb out or float out but that didn't work...
I never had much faith in doctors to begin with. I think when they graduate from med school they have a sincere desire to help people....but then they find that the real world is so different than what they hoped to practice in. Many patients expect to receive some kind of magic pills that will...
I make it a point to eat healthy and take care of myself - exercise, hygiene etc.
I spend time with my little elderly dogs. They love when we all take naps together.
I spend time each weekend thoroughly cleaning my cars inside and out. Whether they need it or not.
I also practice playing the...
No. Many of them have other conditions....epilepsy,diabetes, ADHD, heart disease, lupus, sleep apnea, crohn's disease, muscular dystrophy, blindness, irritable bowel, high blood pressure, arthritis, hemmorhoids,.....
Maybe they are jealous of me.
I like to take time to do special little things for myself. Having a cup of herbal tea. Taking a refreshing shower or bath. Sitting outside and watching the squirrels in the trees.
I like to put forth a little effort to do things to brighten other people's day. Give a sincere compliment to a...
Moderators: are you able to see Budgie's IP address or any other info he may have provided when he signed up? I think we need to somehow have someone check on him.
I do hope he exchanged his email address or some other contact info with someone here. His last post is a cause for concern.
Welcome to the forum. From this forum I've learned that tinnitus can affect anyone at any age. We have teens here, and senior citizens, and everything in between.
Welcome to the forum.
Tramadol is a dangerous drug. Read about its known side effects which include seizures.
I am sorry this has happened to you. I tend to think it will go away after awhile, once your body rids itself of this drug.
That sounds like good news. Maybe if you can get the blood pressure down and keep the ear clean (perhaps with some kind of medicinal ear flush?) You'll notice an improvement.
I find showering/baths to be refreshing and relaxing. So sometimes I take one for that reason even though I may already be clean. At bedtime I might turn off all the lights and light a scented candle in the bathroom, and shower or bathe in almost darkness. Sometimes I have a cup of herbal tea...
Hi Martin. Actually, I did not have T after I hit my head. I had no symptoms at all. I just was stunned and of course my head hurt. But I did not go to the doctor or do anything about it. After that I started getting numbness and tingling in my hands and arms. It got worse over a few months and...
Yes my left ear is fine. I hear a high pitched sound inside my right ear, as if it's coming from my brain stem and going out the right ear. And I can hear out of both ears.
The ONLY language that these stores will understand is if we do not spend ANY money there. Walk out of the store and then let them know thru either their facebook page, online reviews, and things like that which other people can see. Normally, contacting a business thru the "contact us" link on...
From what I've read in other people's posts, yes that is normal. I am guessing that one thing that could affect it is if you're relaxed, or tired, and maybe even our emotional state.
Some parts of Florida....some areas not too far form where I live. There was one last year where a man fell in and his body was never found. That is within 20 miles from me.
When my tinnitus started I told the chiropractor. He said it would probably be temporary but it has been just about 2...
I think it is a sales technique designed to make customers buy impulsively, rather than they spend a lot of time thinking and evaluating their purchases. A few years ago I walked into a Best Buy and also I think a Circuit City. The music was way too loud so I walked out. I don't think the music...
Thanks, Sailboardman. Thankfully I have no hearing loss. And I am able to sleep. I am near the west coast of Florida, in a rural area between Tampa and Lakeland. We have had A LOT of rain and flooding. Lots of standing water which brings lot of mosquitoes. Dirt roads washed out, trees uprooting...
Welcome to the forum.
I have heard some people say that working in an environment that has many sounds - music, fans, machinery etc - helps to mask their tinnitus. I guess we each have to find what works for us individually.
Hello everyone. About 7 months ago I started experiencing occasional numbness in my arms which progressed to include pain in my left shoulder. I've also had lower back pain on and off for at least 15 years. In July I went to a chiropractor and found, through xrays, that I have scoliosis (curved...
