    Xanax: Uses and Risks

    Eric, I also saw you mentioned chiropractor, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GO TO ONE OF THOSE DOCTORS. GO TO A PAIN MANAGEMENT DRS. THAT IS ALSO AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST. When I get my injections they are ultrasound guided. So be careful who you go to.

    Tinnitus, in My Head Not My Ears! >.<

    Hi Patrick, My Tinnitus (T) moves around as well. It moves from ear to ear and what scares me the most is when I feel it in my head, only because it makes you feel like you can't run and escape it. Since it's new to you and I am not sure of your personality such as....are you a nervous and...
