Hi Tigo, did it help?

Hi Bramblewood. I have ringing pulsitile tinnitus with hard nodes down my neck, anterior and posterior, with a few next to my cervical spine. I noticed them shortly after my T started pulsating 3 years ago. I suspect they may be interfering with lymph drainage or blood flow. Unfortunately, no...

I have a friend who told me she found complete relief after chiropractic care. She had upper cervical spine adjustments for C-0 through C-3. It's been on my mind for a while to give it a try, but they scare me a bit. I know my C-3 is hurting, clicking and cracking. Please keep us updated and...

Very nice! Fantastic find, thank you for the link. Please post if you find more. :)

Why do we have to register with Frontiers? The login is difficult and asks too many personal ID questions for me to be comfortable registering. Any feedback on this?

re Dopamine question posed by deathbymigrain: Try researching Mirapex for restless legs, it is supposed to increase Dopamine. There are anecdotal reports of T relief.

..."other behavioral assessments may be needed"... Behavioral? That's insulting. Physical brain patterns should be looked at. See the article posted by Jer "Brain regions responsible for Tinnitus".

If T can be seen on fMRI and MEG, can't it also be measured? Definitely it is the loudness of my T that influences my coping ability, not psych crap.

There is a really good research site called examine.com. where you will find recent research about Vincopectine. It seems to increase blood flow to the brain. For this reason it has been used post-stroke and for certain types of headaches. There are some preliminary tinnitus studies.

I believe the fast mimicking diet has the best science for neuroregeneration. Google: Valter Longo or fast mimicking diet. 72 hours of reduced calories showed nerve regeneration using damage from MS as a model.

Waste of research time and effort if you ask me. My coping ability, my "depression", my irritation, my loss of concentration, are mine to deal or not deal with. I can change my reaction but my T does not change. Research dollars would be better spent on some real science that might actually...

Tinnitus can be seen with real time imaging. They first saw it while treating a man with Parkinsons. I would think this question would be answered by scanning an asleep T sufferer........ I wish someone would do that.

Tried it....didn't help. Don't waste your money.

Oooops, you're right. I receive numerous medical articals in my email from JAMA, Medscape, Up to Date etc. Jotted down references in a hurry this morning to follow up on later....must have mixed them up. Don't have time now but will try to find the references for you when I can. Sorry for the...

The NEW studies on Tinnitus and Hydrops are just coming out! (See recent Medscape info on Dr Connor Liston, Nature Magazine Dec 5 2016). Endolymph will increase with salt in your diet, it has linked to Tinnitus for decades but with fMRI NOW THEY CAN SEE IF YOU HAVE A BUILD UP! This is new and...

Years ago we started flooding fresh amputations with local pain meds to stop phantom pain. I'm not sure how effective it was because I only worked with inpatients. Nerve cells learn pain and some don't shut off ... they will fire in a petri dish for no reason other than they were taught to fire...

Magnesium is frequently given IV for cardiac arrythmias and to alcoholics to prevent seizures.

Calin: The GLYMPHATIC system drains and clears waste from your brain during sleep....INCLUDING GLUTAMATE! This is well researched and new information. Personally, I believe this is key in pulsitile T. Astrocytes (a form of glial cell) also control fluid build up which might be why we get...

Well..........welcome to the wonderful world of Tinnitus. Sorry to hear what you are going through. At least you are in good company here on Tinnitus Talk.... :) A carotid bruit will sound kind of hollow, like wshh wshh instead of thump thump. Happy Birthday and I wish you many...

The point is to put stress on your body. The research studying multiple sclerosis on the Fast Mimicking Diet shows neurogenesis on day 3. The FMD diet restricts calories, isn't actually fasting. You can read the science by googling 5:2 diet or fast mimicking diet, also Kamal at examine.com or...

Feel grateful for that shower time. It used to be like that for me and many others, now nothing ever diminishes it. I should have cherished my no-T shower time more than I did.

I have pulsatile and continuous T in different tones. Tried cranial-sacral therapy with a trained physical therapist and cranial osteopathy at an OMT clinic. Neither helped at all.

I have seen some older posts and research success involving Mirapex and Tinnitus, but not much follow up. Does anyone have any new information. Have you tried it?

I would like to know what % of responders picked all of the situations. How many would pick the "I always hear it" box?

My Rhumatologist for putting me on Plaquinel then upping the dose without knowing that after increasing the dose you are supposed to titrate back down! She says Plaquinel, a quinine drug, cannot cause tinnitus.

Spent an hour at a large casino today on the slots. Lots of pitches and tones all around..... Still the T rang right on through it all. It seems to come from my head, not my ears. It feels like it buzzes as it rings with my heartbeat. Maybe the difference is that my T is probably from a Sjogens...

I recently read research by Valter Longo at USC that showed neurogenesis on day three of his 'fast mimicking diet'. MS patients improved. I don't know how to post a link, but the science is solid. Google fmd diet or Valter Longo.

TEL: In retrospect I can see how negative my previous post was. Please don't despair. In many cases of pulsitile tinnitus the medical cause is found. Sometimes it just goes away on its own. If neither of these happens for you, take heart and remember what Karen has said, she seems very wise. ♡

Yes! Terrible concentration problems since it started. Found myself on a 12 hour shift with two critically ill patients. I NEVER had problems calculating and keeping all my drips in my memory before. Scared me to think.....only one tiny miscalculation and I could kill someone... Had a massive...

According to the anti aging researchers at USC, neurogenesis in the brain is found ON DAY THREE of the 'fast mimicking diet'.....at least in mouse brains. They are studying humans now. Google 'Valter Longo' or 'fast mimicking diet'.

GABA can be increased by meditation. That's been one of the mainstays of panic disorder treatments for two decades (Claire Weekes, Herbert Benson, Pelletier (sp?)). If increased GABA helps or quieting the nerves helps, wouldn't monks be T free? They call meditation induced T dibba-sota. I...

Back to the original TPP theory: chronic alcoholics are always thiamine deficient. They always get a "banana bag" of B vites high in thiamin on admission to prevent withdrawl seizures. I would think they would have T.

Some otoxic drugs decrease glutathione, which is neuroprotective (thats the mechanism behind Tylenol causing T). DebinAustralia is right...cysteine is needed for us to produce glutathione, you can't just supplement with it. 'Everyloop'; PQQ isn't depleting glutathione, it is USED by PQQ for...

Pretty common to have pulsitile tinnitus from elevated ICP. Usually happens in overweight females (no reference to your personal situation intended). Did you have your shunt yet? Which test found the fluid? Wishing you the best of luck ♡.

Don't know if this would relate chemically, but I have taken care of many patients with lactic acidosis. Of course most of those were septic, not simply making ATP anaerobically. None complained of tinnitus. However.....it is interesting that Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndromes are...

Azariah; I have been following this thread of yours.....(have had some questions about the Krebs cycle and lactic acid involvement also). Have you looked at information online about the glymphatic system? The thought is that astrocytes (glial cells) pull back or shrink during NREM delta sleep...

My pulsitile Tinnitus also started at the dentist. I have had neck problems from many years of bending over my patients as a cardiac RN. My T also becomes louder when pressing on the temples and quiets when pressing on the back of my head. The only time I don't hear my heartbeat is when it...

Disappointed in this. Maybe it only works for softer T? I hear RING RING RING RING RING.......with undertones.

GABA is deficient in people with chronic stress. Tinnitus causes stress. Mind-body stuff increases GABA. This has been known for decades. In all probability the horse (Tinnitus stress on the limbic system) preceeds the cart (low GABA), not the other way around.

I get a few seconds of silence after pushing on the side of my head. First it screams, then it's quiet......then it comes right back. :(

Nice post. Path Finder posted an article questioning the direction of present research. The term it used was barking up the wrong tree. I agree. If something worked, it would be working for us. Joining the dots is a wonderful idea. Maybe it will lead us to the right tree. LOL Reminds me of Dr...

I like your question (hypothesis) and the way you phrased it. Because outcomes need to be measurable maybe add something like 'as measured by pre and post Tinnitus Handicap Inventory score change of > 7 ?

Back to the dots.......It would be hard to bring together group data. Easier yet, would be to individually use the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory. It is accepted by reseachers and easy to score (see Florian Zeman, a statstics and probability expert or a simple example in the 'ArchesTinnitusFormula'...

Sounds to me like some basic research and satistics tactics would be helpful here. ie start with: a hypothesis, a method, a way to collect data, a way to analyze the data, start and end dates etc...otherwise it's all anecdotal. I would like to participate if it comes together. Seems like you...

As a composer you might be interested in a new tinnitus theory suggesting that instead of masking (which doesn't work for me, my tinnitus is very loud) the tinnitus range should be deleted from music you are listening to. It's the opposite of habituation theory. Check it out. Google Dan Polley...
