God yes, I thought I was going crazy with it. I didn't get the high pitched whistle, I got the low resonating hum. It drove me mad. Have you got one of the apps that create neutralising noises? I know someone who had an app playing at night in a hotel so he could kill the tinitus and sleep. It was water noises and the night porter broke into his room thinking he'd left the bath running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Nah, no app, just get on with it, it's bearable most of the time but it's kicking up big time tonight (high pitched whistle) I feel for anyone who has any kind of tinnitus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I don't, but the wife does. Starts with 'the dazzles'. Avoids strong light until that's faded away and then gets nauseous headaches, eventually fading to an 'afterhead' which can last 2,3, 4 days. She's had them for decades. It was generally thought to hormonal, but later suggested to be brought on by dehydration. The latest thinking is they're stress related (she has a tremendous amount of stress), and they've reduced in frequency since she's been on anti-depressants. Truth is, I don't think anyone has the slightest idea of the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Used to get them a few times a month. On one side of the head, usually the left, like a long needle being pushed through my eye and a pounding headache. The only relief i found was to finger massage my temple hard and around the ear and down the neck for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I've been having migraines since about 2002 - really annoying to go through life without them and then suddenly find yourself afflicted on average once a month. That said, after about a year of faffing with the doctor (have you tried paracetomol? duh - what do you effing think?) he finally prescribed me Sumatriptan - ie a proper migraine medication, and lo and behold I now have a silver bullet. Within 60 minutes of taking one the crippling headpain is completely gone. A few mild side effects, but nothing unpleasant These days it's off-patent, so you can buy it over the counter. Albeit as much for 2 tablets as a prescription costs for 12, but if you have started suffering bad migraines I recommend trying it out. If it works for you then get down the docs and ask for a prescription Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
