Hello,
Can someone please help out with the following? The doctors aren't doing jack...
Back in August, when it started, food had no effect on tinnitus. In November I did a gastroscopy, it was revealed that I had a case of helicobacter pylori, pangastritis, duodenitis - supposedly very common in everyone. So they gave me antibiotics. For 9.5 days I took amoxicillin, josamycin, and omeprazole. I was taking probiotics as well, during and after the course. Shortly after the deal, food affects the tinnitus. At first I thought it was gluten but I don't eat much of that anyway, so I stopped completely. Then the blame went to carbs/starchy food. I minimise it but no luck with spikes that I can hear in a tram. Usually my tinnitus can be 'silenced' by a conversation's loudness but when I have a meal, the volume knob is ripped off with the volume left at the highest level. In the morning, when the food is digested, it gets back to the August's level, the baseline. Oh, my silent ear has developed a sound, since about a month. My eyes are bloodshot since September, I have all kinds of tingles/sensations, mostly on my head but the food makes it worse. One day my leg felt like it was prodded with needles.
The darnest thing - if I don't eat, a spike is also gonna occur. WTH!
My theory is that I have gastro issues which in turn affect the nerves but try telling doctors that! I'd have to be graphically ill to get a referral. They don't want to see a connection, my experience with them is abysmal, unless I pay. But i'd have to take a plane, and with nCoV going around, I don't want to risk it (though, both countries are far from the source; it's just I don't know who's going to be on the plane).
Thanks for any advice,
bh
I also started waking up at 1, 2 or 3 a.m, even if I go to sleep at 10 or 11 p.m. It's not the noise but I don't know what the cause is...
