Can anyone see the purpose of the word "clinically" in that quote?

My alleged IBS, that I was diagnosed with many times over many years, turned out to be a physical problem that was 95% cured with surgery. Nearly 20 years later there has been some minor deterioration over the years but I'd still say the "cure" I got is keeping 85% of the pain and associated...

This seems deceitful to me, unless I've misunderstood something. Scenario : Patient visits doctor about, say, non-resolving belly pain. Doctor takes patient's blood pressure a few times and decides that the patient is faking it. Patient is dismissed on the basis of a BP measurement with their...

I'm sorry, but I don't feel any the wiser after reading that. I understand that people use a hearing aid which does something, but what that something is is not explained in any way. Edit : I've just found this link, which does actually explain what notch therapy actually involves ...

I never have high hopes of healthcare systems anywhere, but that made my jaw drop! I'm sorry you have to wait so long. I hope something that is written in this thread helps you in some way, because seriously, it looks like self-help for the tinnitus is your best option.

Surely it should be obvious that Traumatic Brain Injury will often damage the hypothalamus and the pituitary. These two organs are responsible for controlling the release of or actually releasing a huge number of hormones that affect the entire body. This isn't new "news".

Once you know what your tinnitus frequency is, what do you do with the information and how does it help your tinnitus?

Snap! I've had high pitched tinnitus since my late teens and I adapted to it fairly easily. But when I got a low pitched drone it was driving me insane too, and it was the impetus I needed to find a way of learning to live with it. Learning to concentrate on the sound from the tinnitus relaxer...

I have never given any thought to what my tinnitus frequency is. It wasn't a requirement for learning how to learn to live with tinnitus. But, if you are really interested an audiologist can help. Every time I have my ears tested the audiologists can tell when they test me at the same frequency...

I have a tinnitus relaxer, which is a gadget which makes sounds that mask tinnitus. The sounds it can produce are rain, waves, trains, thunder, wind, a brook, and quite a few others. It has speakers like a radio. It also has a headphone socket that allows for separate speakers to be plugged in...

Can anyone tell me which blood tests those would be? I would assume CRP? And possibly ESR?

Anyone interested in vitamin B12 might find this paper of interest : Title : The pathophysiology of elevated vitamin B12 in clinical practice Link : https://www.researchgate.net/publication/235750896_The_pathophysiology_of_elevated_vitamin_B12_in_clinical_practice People can download and save...

@Invisible Woman There are hours and hours and hours of brown noise on Youtube. :D And there are many more choices to try apart from the following two.

I had a similar experience - a high pitched whine from my teens onwards, which I adapted to fairly easily without help, and then a few years ago I got a low pitched drone which was a completely different kettle of fish and I was in desperate straits trying to overcome it. That's when I sought...

I copied it to this thread with some small changes and additional info : https://www.s4me.info/threads/how-to-adapt-to-living-with-tinnitus.13270/ If it is in the wrong thread then perhaps one of the mods could move it somewhere more suitable.

Just to add to your comment - using hypothyroidism as an example - one of two things is likely to happen to people with hypothyroidism - a condition with lots and lots of possible symptoms. Either they are rapidly dismissed as being depressed and anxious attention-seekers who are mentally ill if...

I have had tinnitus for 40+ years. About 10 years ago there was a massive, very complicated infrastructure project going on about a mile from where I lived. It went on for several years but the work moved around and the types of noises and the noise levels varied quite a bit. For a chunk of the...

I found this article on the Proctor case which seems to have been written with input from the Proctor family. None of the internal links that I tried actually worked, which is a shame : http://www.cfscentral.com/2010/06/hard-cell.html
