    Headaches

    Worry will manifest itself to stronger symptoms. Headaches are a well known TMS issue and should be thought as such.

    Can you really recover from hyperacusis?

    The auditory system needs retraining as well. I overcame hyperacusis to the extent of 50’s—60’s LDL’s to 80ish. It can be done. Julian Cowan Hill has over 100 short Utube videos to watch/listen. The main thing is not to deprive your audio..system of normal sound. Use hearing protection as...

    hyperacusis, ear spasmes

    There are some great resources which address tinnitus and hyperacusis specifically. I went through both of these in 2016-2017 respectively. What started out as tinnitus quickly developed into hyperacusis. Now, 7ish years later my ldl has improved from 50’s & 60’s to mid-high 80’s. My tinnitus...

    Should I go see a doctor?

    Unfortunately, in my classic cases going to a doc has put me in a spiral. The tests you are referring to have been extremely counterproductive for me. Each time I’ve been through tests, I’ve gone into the abyss. My thoughts are to stay connected to the TMS process and strive to be your best. My...

    Quick question: Has anyone ever cured tinnitus based on the theories of TMS/PPD?

    I would not use the word cured. It seems the better question is how can you reduce the presence of T. If you don’t notice it, is it gone? And to that question the answer is a definite yes

    Quick question: Has anyone ever cured tinnitus based on the theories of TMS/PPD?

    There are some medications which can damage hearing, They are called ototoxic. Not to suggest that’s a specific reason for T &/or H. That being said, there is a “person, who published a list of 100’s of medications. That is NOT an accurate list according to numerous reputable docs I’ve spoken...

    loud fireworks

    First—you failed to mention if you have T at this point or any hearing loss. I can tell you first hand the protection you are using, non-stop, WILL create more problems than it will solve. So STOP that NOW, please! To keep yourself in a sound proof environment will exacerbate & or create...

    chest pain as TMS? it's quite scary...

    Exploring panic attacks would be an avenue to explore. There are too many ways to address your questions/comments. Have you tried doing it one small step at a time. Working your way up the ladder one step at a time rather than jumping several steps at once. There are 100’s of sites out there...

    Tinnitus in the brain?

    MAE I experienced the very same chain of events. Hang in there, follow advice of some great posters on here. Two of the best right here (Andy & Jan) It does get better, but during the tough times, you have to remember the good days, weeks and months. Tough times are transient!!! Remember...

    anyone saw great improvements with changing diet?

    Not sure I would agree. Notice the words—“as much as possible” & “moderation”. I eat pancakes made with coconut & whole grain flour, with flax & chia seed with maple syrup, chocolate cream pie, without much sugar & no oils, full flavour ice cream( natural flavors) almond butter(no “added”...

    anyone saw great improvements with changing diet?

    Stay away from added sugars as much as possible. In fruit, eat the fruit rather than juice, as there are benefits to the fruit itself. There are worse things than Oreos, so make sure all that “fun” stuff is done in extreme moderation. Save the regular moderation for the real thing, ice cream...

    anyone saw great improvements with changing diet?

    Clean eating saved my life. Use food as your medicine. Real food is the only food. TMS or not, you can’t feel better as a whole, while eating “crap”. Look at the ingredients before you buy, examples include—chocolate syrup, not real—pancake syrup, not real—etc etc. Full fat foods are not the...

    Therapist

    I’m not from Perth, but google “pain physiology center” in Los Angeles. You can probably set up a Skype session with one of their providers. I have personally worked with Derick Sapico. Best to you
