I was thinking of trying Taurine, since that's one thing I haven't tried yet. My tinnitus is spiking so bad today and I haven't a clue why. You know "what did I eat that's different" "what did I drink that was different" "what supplement did I take or not take"? I truly get to a point where I...

Lot of info and recently discovered info on the Vagus Nerve, really interesting and plan on reading more about it. Enemas are not an option for me, especially coffee, I'll only take that one way. I'm not poopoo'ing anyone's success with them, or theories on them, just not for me.

I did basically what you've done, and no acid reflux, no esophageal spasms, and reduced my "silent reflux" to almost no issue. Read here about "silent reflux", https://www.refluxgate.com/silent-reflux-symptoms. I didn't have the belching darn it, could have at least had fun with that :( My T...

That's me

Ok, I best stick with the 5htp I'm taking, no spikes with that. In fact, I can got to bed at night with no "sound spa" on, just a clock that plays rain sounds by homedics. Sorry I didn't come back to this thread. I didnt realize I had replies. Thanks to everyone. On another thread I...

Last night the loudness was spiked but I realized how much salt I added to a soup that already had boullion on it. Then a lot of sunflower seeds so I think I blew my chance of the volume going down again. I took my usual supps lastnight, 5htp, Taurine, Magnesium and that's all, had to use my...

Just the 1000 mg and it's supposed to be one a day, but I am doing 2 right now. Just took one about an hour ago, so we'll see if it affects my "volume" ;)

Thank you Lane, I think you hit the nail on the head. I know there is something about it that might be able to be adjusted, just haven't figured it out, yet;) That's a "darned if you do, and darned if you don't" because there are some way positive effects. Yes, too much caffeine jittery, good...

Ok, I decided to just take the Taurine this a.m. with my other supps like Magnesium. I want to see if my T "turns down" just using that. If not, I'll for sure know it's the 5htp, or the combo. I know yours worked with just the htp but it also had some other supps with it as well;) Hope we...

Ok, yes, mine is the 24/7 and the only regular changes I have is it spikes up super-powered but I just like grip the chair I'm sitting in and wait for it to pass as it always has in about 30 seconds?? It is way scarey because that loud and I would..I don't know what I'd do. I did just recently...

I just want to say, right now I am feeling kind of scared of the 5htp. I read a lot on these things, and sometimes I think I'd rather suffer with T than try some supplements. That's why I won't take any drugs from a doctor, they all made me feel sick (to explain in short) and feel worse than...

I'm with you, but I wanted to ask if your T is the steady kind, non-stop, or have you had breaks from it before? Mine turned "down" again lastnight, that's 3 nights in a row. It's back this a.m. but just going to "easy does it" for a bit, and then take the taurine and 5htp. I did some reading...

I noticed a pretty big change in my anxiety since I started magnesium supplements. Since it has helped calm me down, although I still have a spit-fire temper that scares me, the supps have helped. So now I am working on my T with supps, which are the 5htp, and the Taurine, so far. I also have...

Wow, I see so many more posts on the 5htp. I need to go read those threads. It's been 3 or so hours since I took my dose of 5htp, and Taurine. My ears, I just realized, are not at the typical high volume. I wish there was a way to measure that here at home. Anyway, I could have chimed in on...

Glad you're here with us:)

I never heard that, but I do read a lot about the different causes, and sounds folks hear.

I wanted to bring this post to the top again because I believe there is a lot of detox we can do to help some Tinnitus sufferers. I know there are many different reasons people have T, and I can't tell you for sure why I have it even, but I just try some things I find by reading posts/articles...

All good stuff Kelvin, glad you are here. I had forgotten my 5htp has tryptophan in it, so that might be why I am getting some relief, only at night, but hey, always good to get a shot of hope:)

Hello Doug, Mine is similar to yours, although I haven't had the loudness tested, it is constant, and a high pitch. I do have the days you talk about, but like you, I'm still hanging in there. I am grateful you posted because I have often wondered if mine started because of something I...

I see it is about Sun light, or getting enough light, and it can energize you. I haven't found how that might effect my T, but it is way worth looking into a lot more:) Thank you for telling me! I'm off to read more:)

Well something is happening because lastnight, my T turned itself down, again. It is still there, and a bit louder than it was the night before. I'm desperately trying to think of all I ate, and the supplements as well. I know I took the 5htp and the Taurine. But we all know other things...

I will look it up tomorrow, the Circadian rhythm. Thank you for replying, I am always ready to listen, and check into things. I took another dose tonight and hoping to have another good night. I'll be back on in the a.m. I had the T all day, but stayed busy to help with it. I have more info...

Last night I decided to try the 5 htp again, and also a Taurine for the T. I did wake up a couple of times, but the ringing was so low I didn't use the sounds (rain sounds from app and/or from sounds on clock radio) when I went to bed, or when I woke up (during the night). I can't figure it...

oh brother, did I speak too soon:( The longer I am awake this a.m., the worse my T got. Now I have both my Pandora going, and a fan sound on my phone. Had a good cry, but now I'm dealing/coping with the T once again. I'm not going to stop trying the Taurine, and the the 5htp (5htp is for...

Day before yesterday, I decided to try a smaller dose of 5-HTP that I had bought about a month ago for depression. It's in capsule form, at 100 mg. Really made me a bit coocoo when I took it the day it came. Just 1 cap at around 2 in the afternoon. I didn't like the feeling, but I noticed a...

I better check my email alerts as I didn't see this reply Fally, not until this a.m. I've tried a couple of new things, so I'll make another "topic". Hope you'll check it out and have a great day, Denise

Thank you so much Fally, and I am so glad this works for you. I did try 1/2 a tab of B12 yesterday, and I'll still ask my do when I see her, if we could try an injection. I do a lot of anti-inflammatory foods/spices too. I make hot teas made of ginger root, turmeric, etc. When you mentioned...

I don't believe there is any way, no matter how smart I may be, to know what tinnitus is like for someone else.

I haven't tried that, but thought about it when I read about something called "Earthing". Man was that weird, but if it works don't fix it right. I haven't tried it though, the Earthing I mean. I could do the wifi but only by turning off my electronics. The wifi is free for my apartment...

Boy do I hear you on that Laurie. I've been reading about the heavy metals, and how to work on getting them out of the body. But in all honesty, the whole T thing seems to still be a mystery. I hear of success reducing, but never healing the ringing (or other sounds folks w/T hear). The...

Ok, not sure but I don't think it's the ginger, I'll go one more day without though to see. My T got worse in the the night after I went to bed to read. I did eat 4 pieces of chocolate (I hear ya) little pieces of dark in the Brooksides Acai & Blueberry. Then I had my magnesium yesterday, 300...

How long does the effect of a shot last? Do you know how much (in mg) are injected each time? I'm wondering how much B12 I should try, I don't think I want to get ongoing shots, but I might talk to my doctor about it. Right now I have 5000 microgram chewies but not sure that is too much to...

Ok, this says Ginger has a "similar" effect as capsaicin. Chili Peppers have capsaicin this says: http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/health/HealthRepublish_433324.htm

Thanks Jack, yes, plan to do that starting today. Ginger is so good for inflammation, but I need to find out more about the capsaicin today too;) I'm going to get outdoors and try to focus on anything but my tinnitus today. I do think my frame of mind really triggers the spikes "sometimes"...

I'm so frustrated after reading the article on the Vagus Nerve here. It does talk about tinnitus somewhere in this lengthy article, but what got me so bumbed out was reading that Ginger (or it was the only food mentioned under "things that inhibit the vagus nerve" that evidently have something...

Ok, if anyone is around, I'm headed for the bathtub right now. My T is spiking so bad it's scaring me. I don't know what I ate or drank to cause this, but probably either too, much magnesium in my system. Took 300 mg this a.m. and that's typical, but maybe after 2 months of taking it to help...

Ok, well maybe it isn't for me then. I'll read more about glucose so I know exactly what that means, glucose metabolism. Thank you for your reply:)

If you're still around Deb, I tried the lipoic acid (Alpha Lipoic Acid, I think that's the same) but I was getting jitters bad. Now I'm not so sure it was the ALA so since I still have them, I may try again;)

I'm pretty sure I've narrowed my T getting worse, down to B vitamins. I've been taking both B50 (complex) and extra B12 for other issues, and had my T spike bad. Didn't take any vitamins yesterday, and T calmed down to normal PITA (pain in the a__). That's ok, the PITA I can handle, but the...

I often wonder if the fact I have Dystonia may have eventually caused my T. I believe too it's long term. Supplementing deficiencies takes a long time, and I figure it took me a lot of years to get some of these issues, so it makes sense that putting back what I've become deficient in will...

Ditto, that's why I've started doing the baths, but I can still take Magnesium, just not that much because of it causing nausea. I use the Mag. Glycinate, but I think it's excellent to soak in a bath w/half Epsom Salt, and half Mag. Chloride. It hasn't changed my T but I am hoping if I stick...

I disagree because any, noticeable ringing could bother someone. People have a different tolerance for pain, and I feel it is the same with T. Why should someone with milder T then me, let's say, not need a cure? I guess I should say this "with all due respect" because I'm certainly not...

I'm doing magnesium supplements (glycinate right now but might be trying malate) for Essential Tremor. But if I take the advice of some, and up the dosage, I get a bit of nausea. So, I've started doing the baths. I use a cup of Epsom Salt, and a cup of Mag. Chloride. I'm very interested in...

I recently went to the dentist, and although I thought I would have to have a filling removed and replaced by a new one the instructor took a look (I was at the UCSF Dental School) and saw it wasn't necessary. But, nowadays, they have a tool that sounds like a drill, to clean the teeth. It was...

hey Sarah, and good morning all, I especially liked the Spirulina article, excellent info on nutritional values!! I actually have a Protein Powder I haven't been using because I haven't been doing weights for about 2 months. But I was going to check how much Spirulina is in it. It says 100mg...

Headed out for a walk between rain clouds, maybe relieve some of this spike, hope hope! Seems like even exercising can make the T worse when I get home. Danged if you do and danged if you don't. Everyone have a good one, and be hoping we can all find some relief. I can't remember "not"...

Thanks much @Sarah200 I do love Dr. Axe, and I'll check out the other links as well:thankyousign:

yes, that all makes sense. I also realize that when I am on the computer too long, I can get pain in my neck, and didn't quite connect the T with too much time online. Thanks for the info @Kelvin makes a lot of sense.

I'm sorry I didn't see your reply earlier, and I do appreciate it. I tried both SAMe, and 5HTP. Both had negative effect on me. The Black Cohosh was me trying to get rid of body temperature "swings" or I guess Hotflashes. I am 66 this next month, and still getting those. I've had some...

I'd love to have the link. I'm retired now, and have so much time on my hands and really getting into trying new foods etc. Especially to help me with health issues such as the T. I'm looking into some herbal remedies for things now. I've stayed away from those because a couple of herbs I...

Is it different, or a different type of pressure? I can't find anything on it yet.

I don't seem to have an issue with grains, but I've never totally stopped eating them, or dairy. I know there are still a lot of things to test out, just getting the willingness. I'll check out the combo foods you found, thank you Sarah:)

Thank you for the info on the "ear's blood" pressure. I'm going to check that out. Also, I've read many times that the Mediterranean is the best way for all of us to eat, and it's the one that I try to mimic ;)

I can't say my T is better from my "also new" ways of eating nutritious foods, and supplementing as well. But I am more relaxed, but with more energy, and willingness to keep trying new things. I've read a lot about Spirulina lately and may try some of that. What frustrates me the most is one...

I definitely agree that mine may well be the same cause. I read almost every day on health issues, possible alternatives/home remedies. I'm more focused on overall health than just the tinnitus, but thinking if other things are improved then it seems the tinnitus could be improved as well...

I'm beginning to see a pattern with the salt as well. My tinnitus is better today, since yesterday I really was careful with any salt I added to my foods, and watched what foods I was eating (whether or not they had a lot of sodium). It's like I'm always running these tests on myself but it's...

I wanted to add something on potassium citrate so that people trying this will be aware (according to this article anyway) and take precautions trying a supplemental for of Potassium...

I'm wondering if this info I found on Migraine could work for my Tinnitus. Seems a migraine can happen when there is too, much salt in a diet. One remedy to counteract the salt, balance things out, is Potassium Citrate powder taken only a tiny bit, 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. I am going to try it for my...

That will teach me to read the whole thread, geesh, you are doing great Sean!! I'm copying your recipe too:D:thankyousign:
