Hi again. I realize my last post was in April 2019. Note that when people stop posting on forums/groups, it's usually because they're in remission and don't care anymore about others. I guess it was my situation too. As a reminder, here was my introductory post about MEM on Tinnitus Talk...

Have a look at this thread's history, I have a few extensive posts explaining my situation. I didn't see any increase in my T, which is bilateral and so weak it's not annoying at all (unless I'm in an anechoic chamber), when I started having MEM.

Hello friends! I'm back! I'm just coming back here to tell you that I've been MEM-free for around 9 months now. Not a single episode as such; maybe 4-5 random single thumps during this whole period. I'm not saying this to brag, but to give a follow-up showing a positive outcome. People...

Hello again. I've been MEM-free for more than 3 months now. I burp and yawn and everything and I don't get anything. The only thing I did concretely was to start taking about 300 mg of magnesium citrate every day, but I have doubts that this is related anyhow because I too have a few daily...

Yes! I've been MEM-free for about a month today. I don't even control burps/yawns anymore, it just completely vanished. I don't feel vulnerable at all. It's hard to explain, but when I get a violent burp, I don't even get a single thump, so I'm not nervous that anything will start. I did get...

Ha ha, okay then. It's confusing that MEM means two things but I'll get used to it.

This does not make any sense. The second M stands for myoclonus; I guess you mean middle ear muscles? By the way, I've been thump-free for 7 days now. Longest break since it started again two months ago. I appreciate the hiatus. I still experience myoclonus of random body muscles, but it seems...

Yes, I meant it helps when you feel the episode's end approaches. It confirms what you're feeling that thumps are getting scarcer. I believe we MEM sufferers are predisposed to this. During my 5-year break I would always get this, but it never, not even once, continued as an episode. This is...

Yes, maybe, that's a good theory. However when I yawn/burp/hiccup, I clearly hear my TT oscillate at a low, but tonal frequency, just like you can hear any skeletal muscle oscillate under sustained contraction when you put it close to your ear (try it with your bicep). See the attached PDF. So I...

Funny how I wrote a few days ago that I wasn't getting the 10-15 thumps anymore and only a single one every now and then, but a few hours later, I got a 12-hour, 10-15 thumps every 30 seconds attack. This was triggered by an uncontrolled burp, unfortunately. In fact I was so asleep when going to...

Welcome to the club! This is indeed similar to our common symptoms/triggers, at least mine. Thank you for contributing your story as it shows, like mine, that multi-year breaks (up to 8 years in your case) are possible and do happen. I believe this can reassure people by demonstrating that...

I want to add points to my case that I forgot, if some of you can relate: I enjoy listening to loud music, especially in my car, or when playing guitar/bass/drums with friends or alone in a studio. I don't believe I suffer from any form of hyperacusis. I tolerate loud sounds (I guess my tensor...

As I wrote earlier, you could be free for many years. You can also have sporadic episodes, like a few hours and then nothing for months. I hope this part is at least somewhat reassuring to you. Interesting theory! That being said, I've had this since 2012 (with a 5-year break, and many...

Hello everyone. First post ever, on any health forum in fact. I'm usually a reader. I just want to share that I'm one of yours. My situation is: Canadian (urban center), male, 30 yo. Mainly triggered by "violent" or extreme burping/hiccuping/yawning. I would say that, of all the episodes...
