    Hi Calin, I will give Lipoflavonoids a try. A lot of the tests I have had have come up negative so I bet it may be a vitamin deficiency. The doctor gave me a clean bill of health otherwise.:) Thanks, Tom

    Well it's been over a month and my tinnitus has been going down a bit until Sunday when I was on my shop roof nailing down some aluminum roofing that has worked its way loose. I was only pounding in nails for 15 minutes or so and really did not think anything of it until that night and I...

    Hi Karen, I think that is a very good point. I know my blood pressure can drop 10 or 15 points before and after a hot shower. I know for me when it’s warm out my BP goes down and of course I’m much more active outside which I think helps as well.

    For many years I only took half my usual dose of BP medicine because I would fell light headed at 10mg. My doctor was fine with that as long as I would monitor my BP.

    The only meds I take is Lisinopril for blood pressure. Of course I have to take the normal vitamins C, B, and D. I hope the Lymes comes out negative too! But in Wyoming during a summer class 1982, I was bit by a tick and had the characteristic expanding circular rash for Lymes, but the tick that...

    Hi, I would say that it's about as loud as it's ever been maybe a 5. If I play music and do other things, I don't notice it as much. It's in the backgrand while working in the computer or programming and that can be a problem trying to concentrate. I just try to block it out. Music helps me...

    Hello everyone! I’m really glad to have found this site and have read much in the past few days. My tinnitus started back in late November 2012 and basically only in the left ear. It started shortly after a hike when my ears got real cold. My doctor gave me a nasal decongestant and had me take...
