hello dear people.
I'm suffering from tinnitus since 2018, the difficult and tremendous part is when it is associated with vertigo 
please anyone can share some tip or something that might help to cope with this inhumane condition? thank you very much and blessing for everyone.
Ha ha. Inhumane condition , yes that’s for sure . However , I think you’ve found the right humour to tackle this terrible gremlin called T. I occasionally get Vertigo and I then take some Stemetil tablets , but I don’t take them very often if I can help it. Usually it passes over . Bless you too , you sound like a lovely person and very positive too 😊 🌞 x
Hi Laura
We can't claim to be experts on balance problems which have a connection with tinnitus - in this regard, I would defer to the Meniere's Society or Veda.org who would be able to answer any questions that you have about experiencing the two symptoms:
The guidance which we have available on how balance problems may connect with tinnitus can be found on our website - tinnitus.org.uk/balance-and...
I think collecting as much information as you can about your symptoms will give you good options in managing them and reducing the stress they can cause. I hope that you'll find some ideas at those resources which can support you with the difficulties that you're having right now.
Best wishes
Pat
Thank you VERY much for your reply, I used the word vertigo but in reality is not, I think it's dizziness because the world outside does not spin, it's me. When I started with tinnitus I 've been tested for Meniere syndrome, in any case it is stil uncertain if I have it or not but so far I've never had critical episodes of vertigo, I will have a look for sure at your links. thanks again!
Like rabbits says, there are tablets to take for vertigo - I don’t know what your health service is like in Italy but my doc prescribes Prochlorperazine. Or maybe you could buy it.
There are ways to train your brain to obey what your eyes tell it, rather that what your malfunctioning ears tell it. If you search the NHS website for “exercises for older people”! There is one to do with balance control which is quite good. Otherwise, the Brain And Spine Foundation has exercises you can do - just do the sitting down ones to start with. Search for Brain Rehabilitation Exercises.
Tinnitus is a different issue, though it can go together with vertigo. Please find the website of the British tinnitus Association and have a good read of what they say, it’s very very useful.
Thank you for your beautiful insight about “exercises for older people”!😀 I bet they will be very helpful. My tinnitus has started with a major depression for a big stress, at the time I've been prescribe Prochlorperazine too with caffeina so I could stay awake...but never took it, I did not want to take too many drugs...
Hi Laura. I was given serc8, then upped to serc 16, er that was 17 years ago. The giddyness has gone, but the Tinnitus remains. And yes, it's classed as Meniere's disease. You sound so calm. Stay safe, stay well
dear you, I 'm sorry you have tinnitus for so long, you too seems so calm despite this bad company. the alternative to this condition would be desperation which I've been trough as all of you. So better try to be calm and do what it's in our power to be better...also today it's a good day, tomorrow ? who knows? blessing
I live with Menere's disease with its associated T and vertigo. It was out of control a few years ago and I had a procedure whereby the balance control was removed from the affected ear. I can still feel a bit dizzy but luckily that is all. I have no balance on one side however I no longer suffer from vertigo. I feel for you, it is so debilitating. Take care
Yes I have vertigo as well with my T. It has been about six years since the first consistent beautiful high pitch started 24 7 . I have learned to keep busy or play some nice music to distract the sound but the last couple of years my balance is way of. Constantly falling and getting dizzy. Some of my friends ask on a weekly basis what happened this week. It is not funny by any means but have to give people something to talk about. Last year I also broke a wrist and when it was healed another fall broke my arm. This summer was good until I fell late July and severely injured my back which was almost healed when I fell last week down a set of stairs. I keep telling myself to stop and think about what I am doing before I do it but I was always such a spontaneous person I do catch myself off guard from time to time. I tell people that I have been given a gift to accept pain so someone else does not suffer. Take care and and do not give up as life is so precious.
Hi , if you keep breaking bones shouldn’t you be having that Osteoporosis test ? My sister has that test as she kept breaking her ankles . .. look it was just a thought . 😊
I have had tests done and I do have osteoarthritis in my neck and brucitis in my knees. So it is most likely my balance is off.
The. Osteoporosis test is for “ Brittle Bones “. In other words they can break easily .
