| Does fish oil cause tinnitus? Ronald Leemhuis 06:03:11 |
| | I have been taking 2 grams of fish oil (360 mg EPA + 240 mg DHA) twice daily
for the last two or three months, and over that time I have experienced
tinnitus that comes on about 4-5 hours after a dose and abates gradually by
the time of the next dose. This tinnitus is associated with some burning
and tingling sensations in the anterior thighs, legs and feet.
Because I wondered about trace neurotoxins in the fish oil, I switched to a
different brand, this time "salmon oil" in the same dose. Same story.
I haven't seen any references that point to fish oil as a cause of tinnitus,
but it certainly is for me. The common thread I see in various references
is that antiinflammatory medications (COX inhibitors) often cause tinnitus
in high dose and that fish oil inhibits COX enzyme.
Has anybody else noticed this effect?

| The rationale behind 'sleeping without a pillow'. Francispoon 07:36:51 |
| | According to my doctor, sleeping without a pillow is the _nature's
way_ of sleeping. Sleeping without a pillow may cause the body to
rotate this way or that in a rather awkward manner. But that is how
our subconscious mind directs the body to 'unlock' the various
'compressed' parts in the body, and in the case of the t patient,
possibly a compressed nerve in the spine.
I had been suffering from high-pitched sound until a compressed nerve
in my spine was released.

| Possible Migraines Guest 20:51:50 |
| | I've never had a migraine before, and I think thats what my symptoms
describe. Please give me your thoughts on the following incidents.
Last week on a two different days(maybe three?) my vision in my left
eye deteriorated, then returned followed by a dull headache(not too
painful, but noticable). I had great difficulty reading as my vision
was obstructed by zig zag lines, but just in the left eye. The lines
are hard to describe, it was like the actual line was completely out of
focus, kind of colorful, and anything in my field of vision that wasn't
obstructed by it was out of focus depending on its "vincinity" to the
"lines". Then yesterday I had the same symptoms except in the right
eye, and the visual disturbances lasted longer, and I had some speech
problems. During the visual problems I found my self at a sudden loss
of words, I knew what I wanted to say, but my vocabulary was suddenly
very limited. The headache afterwards was more intense, but not
unbearable and the speech problems slowly went away as the day
progressed. A nap followed by a couple of beers seemed to help matters
greatly.
So, is this symptomatic of migraine? I think I should see a physician,
maybe a neurologist?
It occured to me yesterday that all this started happening after I got
hdtv set up in my home theater room. I have a DLP projector. I used
to only watch a movie on occaision, and browse the web pretty
frequently with the projector. Anyway, after setting up the hdtv, I
started watching in 3-4 hour sessions. I'm pretty sure the evening
preceeding each of these incidents included 3-4 hours of DLP HDTV
viewing. DLPs are supposed to trigger migraines in some people, and
maybe the extended viewing of moving pictures, as opposed to web
browsing, on it could be causing problems. Could this be triggering my
problems the next day about 10 hours later?
In the meantime I've decided to stay away from the DLP. If that turns
out to be the problem, it will be for sale soon, though I'm sure the
none of you want it.
Thanks.

| Heavy Metals and Tinnitus Guest 10:17:42 |
| | I am interested to see others experiences having worked around or with
metals and later being afflicted with tinnitus. I have reseached a
number of web sites about heavy metal toxicty and the metal lead can
cause hearing loss and disturbances. It accumulates in brain tissue
causing cell damage and strutural changes in the brain. I have a number
of other physical ailments including movement disorders ( dystonia) and
have been thru the wringer with psychiatric diagnoses ( labels). Many
of the psycho active psychiatric drugs contain metals in the
ingredients. The brain being an electical neuro trasmitter and receiver
(among what ever else) would certainly be affected or changed by the
addition of metals, (electricity taking the path of least resistance).
I know a small geranium crystal radio reciever is capable of producing
an aduible output with no additonal power source. Toxified brains may
be capable of the same, just simple speculation. Have many suffers
attempted to be genuinely tested for heavy metal contamination? I have
read that virtually everyone in the USA born before the 1970's or 80's
has high lead deposits. Lead solder on food cans was only banned in the
USA in 1995. I may also add I have experienced some really terrible
skin rashes ( about the best diagnosis I could get) involving head,
neck throat..other areas...which could be a symptom of heavy metal
toxicity. Maybe this thread will provide more insight into this
possiblity.

The first line is:>Adding trimebutine to rizatriptan therapy appears to hasten the resolution >of migraine attacks, according to a study.
Apparently, this is an older drug that is available as a generic used for
IBS. The article is quoting a report in Cephalgia.

| Tinnitus and Sugar Dave C. 06:00:53 |
| | I have had ringing at a low level for some time, but these pastfew months
things have changed. When I have a sugar load like ice cream, cake and
frosting (recently) or other highly processed foods, within a few hours the
ringing becomes intense and lasts for almost exactly two days, then goes
away back to the low level.
I have been trying to make this connection, but just recently this proved to
be the case.
Can anyone reflect any ideas about this?
Thanks,

| Aneurysm Support Group Adam Creasy 19:58:02 |
| | Hello,
My name is Adam Creasy and about 2 years ago my fiance was diagnosed
with an unruptured aneurysm on her left carotid atery. It has been her
dream since then to create an online aneurysm support group for our
area. The website we have created is: http://www.yougivemehope.com
It is basically a place where anyone can come, sign up and start
discussing their various stories. The page includes links to helpful
websites regarding aneurysms.
I think it would be a great asset to anyone going through life with an
aneurysm or has known someone with one. I think a lot of people just
don't know where to turn or who to talk to. They sometimes get the
feeling that they are alone. I want this site to offer them hope and
comfort in knowing that they are not alone and there are other people
out there who care.
If you could please help me get the word out about this site, it would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Also, the site is currently under construction but is fully operational
so please feel free to take a look or offer some suggestions.
Thanks/Adam

| Occipital neuralgia/ Neck pain? HorseLvr 09:43:50 |
| | Hi
I have been battling this on and off again pain for 15 years and have
had numerous x-rays and MRIs that show.... nothing. So I always go to
PT for 6 weeks and usually by the end the muscle spasm has gone and so
has the migraine, until it pops up again. I will have an ongoing
migraine through most of those 6 weeks though and none of meds will
work because the pain in my neck just seems to cycle it again and
again. This was the worst episode though, I couldn't lay on my back at
all or my right side without intense pain on the whole side of my face,
neck and shoulder. The right side of the back of my neck is where the
spasm and pain are always centered.
My PT saw this article and gave me a copy of it, it sounds very
promising. Has anyone had anything like this done before?

| LLLT treatment for tinnitus Carl 20:12:19 |
| | Hi -- I'm a newbie that's been lurking for a few months. I'm wondering if
anyone in this group has knowledge or experience with LLLT (Low Level Laser
Therapy) for tinnitus. Apparently this has been a well developed method in
Eastern Europe for a couple of decades, however I wasn't able to find any
mainstream (Lancet, etc.,) reviews of the research. Any help with this??

| Perseid Meteor Shower Corvus 19:29:11 |
| | Greetings Group,
As long as a lot of us are going to be up holding ice packs (or hot
packs) against our heads this weekend I would like to recommend a
distraction. Take a look at the sky to the NNE anytime from late this
Saturday evening until dawn Sunday for the Perseid Meteor Shower. You
may get lucky. The phenomenon happens every year about this time.
Sometimes the view is rich and sometimes its puny. Actually the meteors
are from the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle. Swift-Tuttle orbits the sun
and so do we and each year we run into its tail. If you want details,
Google up the magazine "Sky and Telescope".
