A good friend of mine with pulsatile tinnitus has been going for (dry) needling now - along with acupuncture - and her pulsatile stopped after a few sessions. The general tinnitus did not, but the pulsatile did. I’m starting sessions in a few weeks. Not everything is in a “study.” We know...

@Codaz - I would stay away from Botax injections. We are friends with somebody, a dentist, who does these for people who come in with tinnitus, at the ear, nose and throat clinic where he works at a big very big hospital here in Boston. Even he says how dangerous they are, they can destroy your...

Hell... @Codaz, @Kaelon, @applewine - I want to report my experience with all of the above. Especially today, I want to report this because I just spent hours and hours at the Red Sox rally for winning the World Series, I was screaming my head off (and at one point my left ear, the one with the...

Well, maybe you're going to get some delayed reactions. Sometimes we look at these things on the run. So now that I'm set at a computer, I liked it very very much. It was extremely well done and here I am back to get more info, as they said it would take a while to really make all the info...

I take 325 mg aspirin (after a TIA) mine started a few weeks after i started taking the aspirin, right after I was "piped" for a brain aneurism. And it's on the side where my aneurism was. Hmmm. Interesting. Lots of people take 325mg of aspirin. You're making me wonder if I should discontinue...

I've just joined the forum. Seems good for us! We really are suffering and people underestimate just how much. My story is that I had surgery for a brain aneurism back in June (the procedure was the insertion of the Pipeline Embolization Device) and when I woke up from the surgery still in the...
