Multivitamins & hydroxy, pounding head, trick for tinnitus relief

Jax2+, ET, hydroxy 8X per week.

Hopefully this can help someone else as my Drs. said they have never heard of this reaction to hydroxy. I even had a brain MRI & a CT scan because it started happening all the time.

One month after starting hydroxy I started having pounding in my head and neck whenever I lay down. It could have started earlier, but there were so many other weird things going on with my body that I didn’t write it down until then. It took a lot of meditation to figure out how to sleep with it (ocean waves worked best). Dr. just wrote down symptoms when I saw her, never gave me solutions.

8 months later I was told that my folate was too high and to stop taking my multivitamin. I was taking Centrum Silver which is a very common multivitamin for women over 50. 2 weeks later my head stopped pounding, no pounding since.

Temporary relief for tinnitus

.

Place palms on ears and thump the soft spot at the base of your skull with your fingers for 15-30 seconds. Should resonate and feel like your head is the inside of a drum. Makes tinnitus go away for a while for most people. You are welcome.

Thank you, I found that really interesting. I have also passed the tip onto my husband who suffers with tinnitus.
