I haven't had caffeine for over 3 yrs...I wish mine would go away, but like I said, I have just learned to deal with it, just like we have to learn to deal with so many other things. I try to focus on the good things, and try to leave the others behind me.

It's very good for nausea/upset stomach! That's 3! (Okay, so I know most people don't deal with nausea every day--but it's a good thing to have on hand for when that happens!)

jakatak, are you there? You haven't written today and I am curious if your symptoms are still better.. let me know! I hope things are still going well.

I read that ginger is good for so much, CHinese have been using it for healing for years.

What are the Health Benefits Of Ginger?
There is a wide range of benefits of ginger such as nausea, digestive problems, circulation and arthritis. Nausea caused during pregnancy or by travelling is one of the benefits of ginger root. Ginger is also known to have the ability to calm an upset stomach and to promote the flow of bile. Stomach cramps can be eased and circulation can also be improved. Ginger supports a healthy cardiovascular system by making platelets less sticky which in turn reduces circulatory problems.

Ginger oil used for massage can help relieve painful arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger is often included in many herbal decongestants and can help to minimise the symptoms of respiratory conditions, colds and allergies.

With all the benefits of ginger and continuing research, the ginger root is fast becoming a very popular medicinal herb.


How to Use Ginger
Ginger can be freshly grated and used in cooking. It is also available as a supplement which can be taken on a daily bases.

Gated ginger root mixed with diluted lime juice can help to soothe the digestive tract and reduce flatulence. It can be made into oil and used to massage areas of localised chronic pain. It can also be taken in an extract form to reduce inflammation.

When choosing a ginger supplement it is essential to choose ones that contain ginger's pungent compounds. These are gingerols and shogaols and are the ginger plant's active ingredients.

Ginger can be used in extract pill form and the dosage for this is 100 to 200mg up to three times a day. Fresh powdered ginger should be taken three times a day ½ to ¾ of a teaspoon. Fresh ginger root can be eaten every four hours but no more than three times a day and should be approximately ½ inch and peeled. Ginger tea which now comes prepackaged can be taken several times a day. Crystallised ginger can be taken twice a day.

With such a wide range ginger products available and with the ever increasing benefits of ginger being discovered ginger or a product of ginger is something that everyone should have in their homes.
I rarely have nausea anymore, but I do still have other tummy issues, along with candida issues, headache, and such...I'm thining this may help, hoep it does any ways, and if it helps the tinnitus, WONDERFUL!!!

Default It's back
I guess, as many have discovered, this affliction comes and goes....sometimes never goes, whenever it wants. I understand this isn't the proper place to talk about this.....Trust me, I understand the PN issues on this site do not this babble. I appreciate those that have responding to me and I thank you. I will probably go to a Tinnitus forum to continue my conversation. Thanks again to all and best of luck to you. One last thing.....I just find it peculiar, that after I retired, and have adjusted to the quietness of my home, this little disorder decides to pop into my brain. Just strange.

I think when one is not busy and distracted by other things, one notices the misbehavior of one's body more. It behooves us to distract ourselves rather than to listen to every whisper or even shout that our bodies do.

I for one, am not sure that my tinnitus isn't a part of my neuropathy, it very well could be.

This is from the American Tinnitus Association:

Quote:
Auditory Neuropathy- A hearing disorder in which sound enters the inner ear normally but the transmission of signals from the inner ear to the brain is impaired. It can affect people of all ages, from infancy through adulthood. The number of people affected by auditory neuropathy is not known, but the condition affects a relatively small percentage of people who are deaf or hearing-impaired.
