My tinitus started slowly, a soft whistle, a humming sound, that lasted 24 hours a day. It would take me hours to fall asleep, leaving me a short time for a good night sleep. Wanting to find a solution, I searched the internet but nothing concrete came up: pills we could buy at natural products distributors, recommended by European Doctors, to activate blood stream in your neck veins, that being the major cause of tinitus. Internet proposes books, DVDs, equipments, products to help tinitus. There is also a study conducted by santé passeport canada.ca in collaboration with researchers and doctors from Université de Sherbrooke, Dominique Dorion, Chaire Lucie, André Chagnon et Paul Lépine, a study that declares that more than 600 000 quebecers suffer from Tinitus. This study, added to the European one, with my doctor's advices, my orl, the massage therapist, osteopath, got me to a simple solution. (read below) |
My wifre told me one day : " your sister just bought two last-minute plane tickets, we are off to Cube in three days !" Thinking about my pain, I didn't want to go but my wifre insisted, that It would do me much benefit. As soon as the plane took off, my tinitus became incredibly painful, I became almost deaf. In Cuba, every morning I would walk on the beach, trying to cope with the pain, ending my day in my hotel room, a humid towel and television as sole comfort. I would sleep all afternoon, missing my holidays. |
Doctors: Upon my return in Montreal, I met with my doctor. He filed me for a regular follow-up with an ORL, had many X-rays of my neck, neck veins and spinal cords taken. I'm still meeting with my ORL once a year.
Orl: The ORL specialist told me that my hearing was A-1 but only relaxation and day-sleeping could help me with my fatigue. I knew that, since that is what I had done back in Cuba !
Massage: I asked my daughter Monique, a massage therapist in St-Sauveur, for an appointment the next week. I'm still going once a month today. I talked with my other daughter Denise, also a massage therapist. she recommended that I meet wit han osteopath: "Dad, I know her! She's marvelous ! Really professional!" And she WAS and still is since I still go there once a year !
Osteopath:After anaylysis of the X-rays taken by my doctor, I went through two sessions. She eaxmined all of my bone structure, my jaws, neck, ribs, everything, massaging and explaining everything along the way. I still meet with her once per year. |
According to specialists and researches, the major cause of tinitus is a dificient blood stream in between the two ears, head and neck. .My solution? Every morning when I shower, I direct the water stream on my face, top of my head, neck, abdomen, I massage all around my face, jaws, ears, neck with my fingers, down to the lower part of my neck. The first month, the change was significant but not total. It took me 2-3 more months to get rid of the "outsider." Everyday (3 massages + exercices) I eat an apple, orange juice, with my wife we go out for breakfast (a pleasing bad habit), on my return I take a spoon full of Cod liver oil, on the afternoon, I eat dried cranberries or nuts and drink a LOT of waqter. At dinner, my wife and I eat a homemade *healthy* vegetable soup made of fresh green pepper, onion, cabbage, celeri, garlic, beans, carots, turnip, diced tomatoes, with chicken of beef broth. Then a light meat or fish dinner with fresh salad and vegetables and a quick dessert. To resume, my solution comes in three parts: better food, lots of exercise, 3 times a day, massage with my fingers Will you do it ? or will you buy expensive not garanteed pills ? Maybe your pills will works but... $$$ I tried the pills for two months, and the only thing I lost was not Tinitus but my money.
