@just1morething I hope you are doing well buddy!:puppykisses:

Hi @applewine ! I hope you are well :) Yeah, blood clots can be bad.. Have you ever had your back, neck and head scanned? When you talk about the jugular vein, I have to say that it sounds too familiar, but Ive been scanned like 15 times now, and if there was a blood clot, it should have been...

@applewine Also.. In some research papers I read (posted in this thread somewhere), they found that people with somatic tinnitus had increased tension in the digastric.. Yes..

@applewine , @Codaz Hi guys!! :) Thanks for all the great information! I havent been too much online lately, but Ive been seeing a great neurosurgeon, had a couple more CTs, one with contrast for the neck and throat, and Ive seen a jaw surgeon that has actually perfomed surgically resection...

Yeah, I just sent one back!! :P

Hi @naggy Yes, I have found improvement, but unfortunately I have also found that this is a very slow process. I dont think too much of exactly what muscles are causing what anymore, but rather how it all became this bad. My masseter is so damn tight, along with the muscles in my neck, both...

@applewine @Codaz Hi guys! I hope you are doing alright! Even though I havent been very active on the forum lately, I have read all of your posts with great interest. I would also like to thank both of you for the priceless information you guys have provided in your posts. Please keep up the...

RIP Dr Mark Lawson. Thanks for sharing @Danny Boy !

Thanks for this @Codaz !

Hi! This is very interesting! Can you please describe your tinnitus? As in pitch, and does it sound a little like very rapid "metallic tics"?

Remodeling Sensory and Motor Circuits in the Brain: New Insights from Hearing Loss and Tinnitus Might be a little outdated (published on youtube 18. jul. 2014), but maybe some of you find it interesting to watch. At least I did.

Thats quite interesting though.. Maybe its related to the facial nerve.. I didnt read up anything regarding those spots, I just found that those spots felt off and that they couldnt be in a very good shape.. It literally feels as if theres some inflammation going on there.. I hope you are doing...

Im kind of curious what muscles he refers to..

Im really happy to hear that the pain has become less intense! :) :)

@Codaz You might find this information useful as well: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3052669/...

@Codaz Thanks for the update!! :)

@applewine @Codaz Hi! I havent been posting for a little while, but I drew a map of muscles and nerves that I found to be in terrible shape. I have also gotten a lot better, and it seems like things are still improving by loosening up muscle tension around those spots and in the neck. If you...

Yeah.. Its a bit weird.. I think I may have the same lump that you are talking about, only I have it on the left side (the worst side). When I added pressure to this lump it would produce an electrical sting and I thought it was my masseter which had this lump, but Im not sure what it is. I...

Hi! Thanks for the input :) I get that too, it seems as if theres a jaw-area related muscles which creates fullness in the ear.. Im not 100% sure its the lateral pterygoid, but theres a muscle for sure.. Im kind of curious how it works and why it really happens.. This muscle seems to be...

I think I will :)

@applewine I work them out my resisting elevation and depression of my eyebrows with my fingers, and try to loosen up the muscles there. I am very confident that those nerves are inflamed, or at least something very close to them.. Something is not right for sure. The same seems to be the case...

@applewine @Codaz Im just curious.. Ive been working out my orbital muscles a lot lately.. And my supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve feels very inflamed so to speak (I didnt know about this until I started to work this area out).. As for tinnitus, working in the area of those nerves have an...

@applewine @Codaz Not sure if you have been doing this exercise, but in terms of stretching the scalenes, this is it.. It seems as if my scalenus posterior and medius are in pretty decent shape, but my scalenus anterior (close to the SCM) are just completely off.. It hurts bad upon stretching...

@applewine I have also read case reports where a host of odd neurological symptoms were solved by decompression in the infratemporal fossa where the lateral pterygoids are located.. I think avoiding stress, bad posture and static muscle load is one of the key ingredients for healing :)

The lateral pterygoid and digastric connection is interesting.. I have found that my eye (orbital) muscles are in very bad shape, and so are the nerves.. I didnt know it was this bad until I started working them out.. What I have found by doing "orbital" muscle exercises and eye rotation...

@applewine @Codaz I forgot to tell, but I might have found something. I started to notice that when keeping my jaw in its original position like it usually is, somehow there are muscles there that seems to automatically tense up if im stressed or whatever.. Im especially talking about the...

@applewine Yeah, it has been a while indeed :) I have done the same thing, and the jaw re-alignment happened for me as well. It went back to its "original" position after eating and such. I found that my orbital nerves and orbital muscles are in very bad shape, and when working them out it...

@applewine Hi and thanks for the great the info :) I havent been much online lately, but Im still trying out some stuff. Im staying away from all kinds of computer related activity for a while :) Im scheduled up for new series of MRIs with contrast. Ill let you know how it works out. I...

@applewine Its some serious interesting information you have there indeed! Thanks for sharing! :) Im going to read through it. Did you have a look at the DVDs you bought yet?

Please let me know how it goes :)

Hi! Thanks for chiming in! :) The pillow tip might not be a bad idea, and to be honest, I think neuromuscular conflict could be spot on.. At least in my case.. :) Not sure about the back alignment, but it seems like the C2 ganglion might play a role in some cases of tinnitus, and so does the...

I dont really suspect whey proteins to be the cause though, but Ive eaten a ton of them in the past.. And it wont hurt to go dairy free for a little while.. Are you going to skip dairy products for a while to see if it helps?

Yeah, I do eat dairy.. Do you? Maybe we should stay away from dairy for a while just to see what happens? :) Im reading through some reports, and Ive decided to try out a lot of things, but Ill start out with the non-invasive stuff, and to stay away from dairy for a while would be pretty...

@applewine You got to see this case report. ------------------------------------------- "The Institute for Nerve Medicine is excited to bring this case study to you this month since we have recently had patient cases where our exclusive Interventional MRI procedures have been able to correct...

@applewine This is seriously interesting (maxillary constriction, palatal anatomy and the auditory apparatus): --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article Citation: Andrea Villano, Barbara Grampi, Roberto...

Something funny is happening in the neck / jaw area, thats for sure.. My anterior scalenes hurts bad too.. It could be related to elongation of the styloid process though.. Just curious, did you ever have your styloid process and stylohyoid ligament evaluated? It would be very interesting to...

I agree.. It has to be something to it :) Also, the findings of A Bjorne (Vertigo, Tinnitus and Pain Unit, Ystad Hospital, SE-271 82), which showed that lidocaine injections into the lateral pterygoid reduced tinnitus in a consecutively sampled group of 38 tinnitus patients with 63% according...

I dont quite suspect Lyme though.. But good to know that there are better tests being developed.

Yeah, me too! :) Im actually quite interested to hear about your results :)

@applewine Thats one heck of a theory, Ill give you that! :) But who knows, maybe it actually might be something to it.. Please keep me posted about your experiment :) I guess this is why I love reading your posts as well, as you read up a lot, make up a few theories and try them out! :)

@applewine Not sure if this has been posted before, but thought you might find it intersting. Abstract: Tinnitus represents one of the most common and distressing otologic problems, and it causes various somatic and psychological disorders that interfere with the quality of life. Treatments...

@applewine It could very well be a connection there and it wont hurt to get rid of some tension in the pelvis area anyways, however Im slightly skeptical about the connection though, but I remember I read the webpage you pasted regarding the psosas and the neck and jaw connection. Who knows :)...

@applewine Also, have you tried to massage your lateral pterygoideus from inside your mouth? I bought some rubber gloves and started doing that, and pretty much each time I do it, I get the sensation of sudden pressure change in my ears and the LP starts to spasm. I mean, if the lateral...

Its been a while since I read about her research, but from what I remember she and her research team found that people with somatic tinnitus had timing issues in their vagus nerve(s), and that stimulation of this nerve could learn the brain to cancel out the ringing, if they got the timing...

Honestly, I would probably not have turned it down.. But thats because I think Susan Shore could be onto something.. It might be something to this dreaded nerve. Some researchers suspect it might play a role in Chronic fatigue syndrome as well.. I will watch this thread closely :)

Very interesting! Thank you so much for sharing your story! :)

@applewine Yeah, I get it now and then.. From my understanding, an elongated styloid process or a calcified tendon is able to compress one or more of the following nerves: trigeminal nerve, facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, vagus nerve, spinal accessory nerve, irritate the carotid artery...

@just1morething You need to work a little more on your norwegian :P Hey, I might very well invite you to Norway some day, and Ill show you around ;) Seems like your cervical spine is pretty much ok then, which is good!

Yeah, had it many times.. Not sure if its the sound that causes it to spike though.. I thought it was from a ligament or a muscle..

@just1morething Kind of excited to hear about your report :)

@applewine It could be the stylohyoid muscle/ligament you are stretching as well, and its located pretty much behind your SCM and attaches to the hyoid bone. I have to post something a member on this forum gave to me, and which I found interesting as well: Styloid process elongation and...

It is a very long story.. Ive been taking a ton of MRIs, CTs, X-rays and so on in order to figure out what this shit is, and my symptoms have baffled all the doctors and specialists. It was by pure luck that a very skilled doctor and professor in neuroradiology got my case and he sent it to all...

@applewine @65vwbus (please see my post above) Trauma or surgery can lead to ossification or elongation of the stylohyoid complex, which can then impinge upon cranial nerves V, VII, IX, X, and XI, all of which pass near the styloid process 7]. V = Trigeminal nerve VII = Facial nerve IX =...

@applewine @just1morething @chronicburn @Sjtof @Viking Alright, I have got a diagnosis which is bilaterally elongated styloid process. I have suspected this many times, and my case has been sent around to a lot of doctors which are supposed to be very skilled. Stylohyoid muscle is...

"Emma Gjestehus ligger ca 25 min. vest for Oslo retning Drammen. Følg E16 fra Sandvika mot Hønefoss og videre skilting til Emma Hjorth." Thats like a 10 min walk from where I live :) Im not into LLLT though, but if you want me to call Anne and ask for something, translate something on their...

Yeah, Im excited to try the night guard.. Not sure how they make it, but I think its worth a try for $30 :) In the beginning it felt a bit like warm water, now I think I have the sensations you have which reminds of cold running water mostly in my legs and in my arms, but for me it seems to be...

Yeah.. That is my impression as well.. I think MRI of all the nerves passing close to the jaw and through the jaw muscles is at least better than nothing. Another funny thing I have noticed is that some neck/jaw movements (it seems to be related to my anterior neck or jaw) trigger those water...

@Codaz I forgot to tell you, but Im up for MRI of my entire infratemporal fossa, both jaw joints and all of my jaw muscles where they will look closely at all the nerves related to the jaw complex. Ill let you know how it goes :)

@Codaz Hi buddy! And thanks for the update! :) I feel you bro.. Ive had some really great days lately.. To the point where I felt almost completely back to normal, but I did the most stupid thing ever today.. Ive been chewing bubblegum all day, and for some reason, the pain goes more or less...

Yeah, I have never expected disk or joint issues.. Im pretty confident that if its related to my TMJ complex its related to the jaw and neck muscles. The website source in my previous post also shows a nice 3D video of how the lateral pterygoideus pulls the mandible condyle out of its socket...
