Tinnitus

Over the weekend my Tinnitus got really bad and now it has calmed down again a bit. I find it worse when I turn my head and it does get a bit better after I have had a massage. So on Friday I have booked to have a massage to see if that helps a little bit!!

This is going to be my ramble about Tinnitus, ok lets start with the basics it is a really annoying constant ringing in your ears.

In about May this year I woke up one morning to the sound of what can only be described as the noise that you get in your ears after a concert. I thought it would simply go of its own accord but it continued day and night like a constant distraction drilling inside my head.

I went to the quacks, had an MRI scan and they said thats it you need to get to grips with it and it is nothing to worry about. The MRI puts your mind at rest because at least you know that it is not a blood clot etc. But there are still issues with trying to sleep and I now know that it would seem that I will never find piece and quiet again!!.

Anyhow over the last 3-4 months i have been trying to block the noise out of my mind rather like the rain falling on a roof etc. In some ways I have been able to manage the noise better but you will always wish that it would just go away. I have done some reading up and have tried a few things and these are the results.

1. The herbal pills advertised on the net do not seem do do anything at all

2. Stress seems to reduce the symptoms

3. For me a head and back massage seems to really help, for anyone with this problem you should try this to relieve the symptoms.
