I don't want to hear sound of any kind, no singing dolphins or chirping crickets or whatever tosh the clinic told me to try, I just want quiet. Those kind of things, as much as I've tried them, don't work at all for me. If I put it on at night, even the radio or any kind of sound, my brain will...

I got my period last night and apart from the horrendous pain that has me about ready to pass out, my tinnitus is awful. I have not and will not ever 'habituate' to this constant noise, it's akin to fine needles of high pitched sound piercing into your skull all the time. How can anyone live...

My tinnitus is so loud in my right ear I cannot hear properly at all. I do not understand how they can say I do not have hearing loss. I must do. My right ear is on the 'bottom end' of normal, so there is SOMETHING there. I do not feel safe crossing roads for example because I cannot hear...

What about someone like me who not only has Tinnitus, but over 30+ other symptoms, including a tremor inside my body that feels as if every single cell (and we have billions of them) is vibrating constantly like you've had a billion electric toothbrushes implanted into your body?. It invades...

Yeah I often do similar things, but they don't help me anymore. It used to, but it seems the more I try to focus my attention onto other things, the more extreme the tremor becomes, then my T gets louder. I honestly tick all but a couple of boxes for Parkinson's Disease, many people say theirs...

I would love to, but unfortunately my medical records will follow me wherever I go like a bad smell. The addictions agency who were supposed to help me, but wanted me to cold turkey the Diclazepam in SIX WEEKS, have contaminated my records with untrue statements, including many false ones about...

I finally got my letter r.e booking the appointment and of course, very long wait, February 2nd next year. I don't have Diabetes or anything diagnosed (I wish I did, as there are proven treatments and ways to manage that). I got tested for it due to my constant excessive thirst (one of the many...

I managed to convince them to refer me to Neurology, which is finally happening. I can't ask for treatments for anxiety because I just get told 'no medications, you're too much of a risk' (referring to my past childish behavior with some substances, despite the fact I have not abused any drug...

My dog gives the occasional bark, never bothers me :)

I'm currently having a really hard time with Tinnitus, as all my other symptoms have flared really badly for some unknown reason. All the symptoms have shot off the scale, the muscle spasms/fasciculations, joint pain (my hands have seized up, I can't even lift my dog's water dish), fluttering...

I'd be careful with NSAIDS as they are somewhat ototoxic. I used to abuse OTC Codeine preparations with Ibuprofen in and I often wonder if that damaged my right ear (the one with the T in). I wonder if it's because Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug and you may have some inflammation going...

While we can learn vital information from some animal studies, we must also remember that rats are not even remotely related to apes, let alone humans. Animals do not share our DNA structure or biological make up, which means sometimes animal studies can actually work against us, for example...

I've just discovered the same thing happens with me. Mine is so bad I cannot sleep at the moment, I moved my neck trying to get comfortable last night and it made my right ear (my Tinnitus ear) hurt, and I've just tried tensing my neck and yeah, it does get a LOT louder. I have several muscle...

Nope, no referral to Neurology despite me repeatedly asking. I will give it one more go, then change GPs if needed. They keep cherry picking symptoms, e.g the breathing issue, and telling me to wait months on end for useless appointments where I just get told there's nothing to see. I have...

Thanks everyone for your input. I am at the point now where I would be willing to consider any possibility. Yes, I have seen some episodes of Monsters Inside Me, and personally I find it fascinating that other life forms can invade the human body and do all sorts of things. If a wasp can turn...

Anyone?

I've been struggling with a lot of mystery symptoms for almost a year now, and one of these is adverse reactions to physical activity. I can't walk far at all without stopping because I ache like I have bad flu all the time, and if I try to do any kind of physical activity, walking, climbing...

I would be more inclined to blame the parents for raising such a obnoxious little brat than the kid herself. Makes you really wonder what life is really like at home for those two kids. Poor things.

Thanks for the replies. The hold up with any further referrals is due to the respiratory department referral delay, they won't send me anywhere else till I've been there. I'm exasperated to be fair. It's certainly not the fault of frontline NHS staff, there's as many frustrated doctors as there...

I've just been properly diagnosed with Tinnitus last Friday. I have it in my right ear, which although I don't have any noticeable hearing loss, is the bottom end of normal. I am also diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, which only further complicates all this. My age old issue with things...
