Default Tinnitus

Hi there

As far as I know, there is nothing you can take for that tinnitus in your ear(s)

I still have it a little bit, but it has mostly gone. It comes back when I am very tired. So, it's my inner warning bell that my brain is really maxed.

I did find that acupuncture helped me and it seemed to help the tinnitus. At any rate, acupuncture helped me relax and learning to relax as best you can and go with this PCS journey is important.

Hang in there. It's awful to feel awful, but here's wishing you better days to come.

Sincerely

pm

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.

Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,

Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.

Therapy I had: vestibular

3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.

9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.

Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
