One and a half year after my T worsening I developed chronic stomach issues. Is this normal? Has anyone tried anything similar? I think my T caused my now debilitating stomach pain

Hi @Juliane, sorry to read that. Strangely enough i've also had issues with my bowels... I'm taking psyllium fibers now, which helps. Also switching to a plant based diet has had very positive impact for me.

What you write about the nervous system.. i also believe that spending time in nature and getting plenty of rest are very helpful.

But i also wanted to mention kratom, i sometimes use it to unwind a bit. It's legality differs from place to place i've read.. and it can be addictive.. but just from personal experience, i found it to be of benefit from time to time. But just don't get addicted, and use responsably as they say.. anyhows i hope you may feel better soon. Love
I thinking of getting a dog or a cat, cant decide. To keep me occupied from my tinnits and TTTS :)
Sodlin
Cat everyday in the week. Cats can also be loud but more like 70-80 DB if they talk alot but dog barks are just RIP for my ears. imagine lying at sleep and WOOF WOOF right next to the ear its like asking for problems. My cat help me relax and calm me down when TT brings me down tho so i recommend it strongly :)

Been talking to chat gpt. Apparently rapid paced tones that don't change and are in your brain rather than ears is a symptom of severe auditory hyperactivity and likely permanent. I'm fucked. If some of these tones don't go away I'm out.
Had a drawer out and somehow managed to get my knee into it on full force. Was proper loud and i got a slight fullness in the ear from the sound. Took NAC and Magnesium instantly. Hope i wont spike.

Same has happened to me many times, it's weird how I manage to bump myself into thing so much. Just know you're not alone :LOL:
Sodlin
@orenge01 Just hate when stuff like that happens -.- My tinnitus is superloud atm but i think that is because im sick. Got a very large "lump" on my neck thats hurts alot
orenge01
Yeah tinnitus can definitely fluctuate when sick :/ , hopefully you get well soon.
Haven't had my TTTS flare up in a long time but it's back today. Frustrating, but scrolling thru my own posts helps reassure me that it always does eventually settle after a few days.
henkess
I have big trouble with it, i got muscles relaxer now and it gets away in 3-5 hours. So thats a relief atleast. Why do you think your starts?
Hello Kam, how's going? Marcello here from Brazil. I've read your story in some posts and I've been facing some situations very similar, I went from mild tinnitus to the point of can't get asleep naturally at the moment. How is your sleep today? What medications do you use? I've trying some combination of them to get the best benefit to the sleep. It would be nice to be able to talk about it and exchange some tips.
Kam75
To be honest I was king of scared to take it, as I don't want my body to get used to another drug and then have to take a stronger one. It is really safe? I only took it once. I didn't see any difference, but maybe I'll consider take it more often
:)
Thanks for the advice!
Marcello
You can trust it completely, it is an extremely safe medication, especially in low doses up to 100mg. In this situation, do not worry about the medication, a good night's sleep is more important than anything. Try the combination of mirtazapine and quetiapine that I told you about, if your doctor has already prescribed it, even better, you can insist on the medication.
Marcello
I also know how horrible it is to lose sleep because of tinnitus. There are some more tips I can share with you if you don't mind, because believe me, I've tried everything too and I can already tell you some things that work and others that don't. If you decide to try the medication, came back here and share you experience.
hi Aetos
you mentioned chloe had all 600 milcells through iv infusion but here says some were through her auditory system ?
may i know how many mil cells were through her auditory system ?
pls advise tku

600 million cells were administered by three injections with 5 day intervals. The cells were injected into her veins and auditory system.
Hi Asta, how is your hearing now? Hoping things have improved for you as I too am suffering after recently having had microsuction in both ears.
7 year tinniversary

Definitely "Raaaaaaaaaagh".
I never know how to congratulate someone on these big occasions. So lest just go with FUCK TINNITUS!

But seriously. Hope your coping reasonably well. Big Hugs!
Kain
@BrOKeN_1 Thanks, I've been doing okay I think! Thankful to still push forward! Hope you're doing well too brother man.
If I've had a new tone for a week, it's probably permanent right? Sounds like rapid fire piano keys banging.
vilebubbles
Thanks but I had tinnitus, hyperacusis, and nox before benzos. Nox is why I went on them :/. T just got much worse when I began tapering. But it was already getting bad.
S
How long had you been suffering when you went on the benzo's?

Unless you were years in already, given some extra time after the benzo's to settle, things might gradually improve after and you could get a good bit of your life back...

You said yourself you've noticed an improvement in the nox and that's while withdrawing.

My T/H/N all got a lot worse before they started getting better.
vilebubbles
I'd had T and nox about 4 months before benzos. I'm just scared bc the tones are getting louder and more
Aggressive and none are eeeee or hiss. They're like rapid tones all over
My head
My left ear hissing is intolerable today. I rode my motorcycle a bit as it is 76 degrees today.
LukeYoung
Does that spike it? I had a motorcycle, oddly it seems the wind noise spiked mine every time. I sold it unfortunately, I loved riding for the short time I did get to.
BrOKeN_1
T just can't let you have a Lil fun. I'm having new tires put on the motorcycle Tuesday and wr will see what a bad idea that is. Haha. The weather is nicer and I hate having the bike rot away in a corner of the garage.
HI LJMD

How are you ?
sorry to disturb you
just checking if you have any updates regarding your t after your stemcell therapy ?
your stemcell therapy you did two times correct ?
may I know what was the stemcell count you used for both treatment and where did you do your 2nd treatment
your reply is much appreciated
Hey buddy. ❤️

Also, working less, going out more for walks, and finding some more comfort in distractions.. and doing daily mindfulness meditations and inspiration and such. And a better connection with family and friends i'm grateful for.
L along the way
A friend of mine has the perspective on T to accept.. i've been contemplating, but i don't know.. i'd say i still live on a hope that it will heal (lifestyle, time & sleep) or even for a next life that things will be better.
L along the way
But at the same time.. just going day by day.

To just feel at ease, healthy & well.. it's worth the world eh.. i pray some day it will be so.

Happy to hear from you, wishing you a good day my friend!!
I cant go out anymore... I don't do anything. I am scared to go to my kids graduation in a couple of months. Despite some of the positive messages I have received on this site, I just feel like I am spiraling. T is worse then the first time I got it, maybe even catastrophic... I have always tried to avoid labeling it... but IDK. Nothing I do helps, sound is reactivity and silence is humming.
MindOverMatter
You need to concentrate on you getting better @Tryn2BHopeful You will be losing out, and you might have to skip graduation day. If it scares you off and stressing you out, you shouldn't attend. It is hard, but its your life. Ive missed out on a lot of stuff myself, for quite some time, but I had to. I had to make space for myself, and not add any stress to my life. As far as possible.
I always considered my T moderate... but I think its severe now...trying to hold a job, raise kids, do everything that one needs to do to live is exhausting wit h T... Nobody seems to notice or care that I am struggling... After almost 2 years you would think I would simply know that. Its the life of someone with T.
HI Fernando
for LLLT what im worried is the massive spikes , discourages me from trying
Need your advise thank you
I wish I didn't know what was happening to me. I used to hope it'd stabilize. Now I see it's just going to progress.
DamagedJoe
What was your first noise trauma?
vilebubbles
Loud music in a really strong speaker system in a car. Blasting music on headphones. MRI.
DamagedJoe
I feel your pain. Today ist a bad day for me. This condition will kill me someday.
My tinnitus is unbearable, my exam yesterday went terribly, and I still have to study for another exam, but I can't focus :).
Why do you torment me loud dial tone frequency, the times you are gone I cope so much better and then you bring physical sensations to make yourself known.
I had a CT scan of my temporal bone near my ear and also a CT scan of my TMJ. I'm still waiting for my TMJ report.
Everytime I think it can't get worse, I'm proven wrong with a new tone, that is often worse. Just trying to do basic things like taking a bath or eating or taking ear plugs out for a few hours at night. At this point I don't know if the new tones are sound exposure or from meds and my brain is just too beyond messed up. My vss is also progressing. Nox seems controlled still with quiet.
