ringing in ears

[Guest guest]

I'm currently taking bio-identical progesterone troches. Not sure if the

troches would have the exact same effect as the cream, though. I would think

so, but couldn't say for sure.

Thanks for the thought,

comment that it was only on the left side. I started taking 25 mg Iodoral last

week and around day 5 I had what I think was detoxing, but it was all on my left

side! I had excruciating pain in my left hip, leg, and knee. Itching in my left

hand and bottom of my left foot. I had a brief attack of nausea (just a few

minutes), some minor head ache, and I forgot what else, but everything was left

sided. It lasted from 12 a.m. to 4 a.m., keeping me awake, but was not

unbearable. I felt that I could push through and didn't want to cut back on the

dose.

You might want to take Lugol's in the form of Iodoral, it is a table form, has a special coating so it doesn’t break down in the stomach, but does in the small intestine where it can be absorbed into the body. I have never heard of Lugol's causing ulcers, ulcers are caused by a bacteria, if anything, I would think the Lugol's would have the opposite effect due to its ability to kill bacteria, virus' and other germs.

Re: Re: Ringing in Ears

Your adrenals need iodine to heal. I had very stressed adrenals when I started and I started on 50 mgs. I just supported them.

Since most people here are sick one way or another, you need to know that

one cause of tinnitus- and the cause of my own incessant tinnitus- is

ototoxicity from excessive use of antibiotics.

My ears ring all the time. Iodine has had no effect one way or the other. A

couple of very way-out-there things I have tried did quieten it for a very

short time for 2-3 episodes, but nothing has cured it permanently.

My hearing was damaged by taking everything an ENT Dr. told me to take for a

couple of years. It is one reason that I will never again take antibiotics

and I have pursued alternatives so hard for so long, My ears remind me every

second of every minute of every hour of every day...for about 12 years now.

Oh good grief, I

wish some people here would really read what has been written! My post

said "please consider the possibility", what does that mean to

you?? One among others. However, the OP herself said she had a

Candida problem which made that possibility seem stronger to me. I'm

in no competition here with anyone and this is entirely her call, if

in doubt she can always ask for a cultive test to confirm it or deny

it.

I have to say it

seemed to me very arrogant on your part (Jill) to imply that I'm at an

extreme and therefore, in error. That actually only shows how little you know about some things. Allow me to remind you that some of the most brilliant minds of all times have encountered great opposition from their peers and were considered at one time to be "in error". So you actually do me a favor by throwing me in with such good company, you know. I'd really like to know how much

you actually know about me in order to make such a judgement anyway.

Or how much you know about the subject, or the many people whose lives have

been deeply affected by their problems with fungus, yeast and mold.

Since you feel

you can consider me an extremist, please let me then invite you to join

the group ToxicMoldandWomen (joining is the only way the messages can

be read...). This group is unfortunately not really active now but you can still go and read messages, starting in 2004. You

will find heart-wrenching story after story of people who developed all kinds of illnesses after their exposure to different types of mold that can be found just anywhere. And it's safe to assume they're only a tiny

sample of all of those in similar situations, after all not everyone

feels compelled to join a group...

And since you don't really know anything about me, I'll tell you that I'm 56 y.o., I'm a Holistic Nutrition student and live in

S. FL where it's warm and humid most of the year and where we had 3

hurricanes between 9/04 and 10/05 so mold (= fungus) is a REALITY around here. The same can be said of New Orleans, Mississippi and any other place where flooding has occurred. But for

there to be a problem things like that don't have to happen, all you

need is a small flood caused by a broken pipe, or a damp basement, or

a leak anywhere in your house, especially an old one. Many people

have attics – I read a story of a woman whose problems started

after she breathed contaminated air looking for something in hers. Others worked in "sick buildings", others had too many

antibiotics, and so on and so forth. But maybe all the people in this

group, except me, live in NEW homes made of bricks not wood, and no one has

a basement or an attic, nor ever had mildew in their bathroom or moldy food in their fridge, maybe none but me had

antibiotics or have eaten foods that contain mycotoxins... In that

case I apologize for my fanaticism, I just have plain bad luck!But the bottom line is that if anyone is annoyed by my posts they are free to skip over them. The irony of it all is that I'm almost sure that those who are most bothered probably don't know

"diddly-squat" about mycology... but that's the way it sometimes goes! Thank goodness there are others more open to learn about a subject that has been ignored for too long.Last night I almost posted that I was not going to post about it to the group anymore but then my connection failed and I coudn't send the message, lol! Today I sign on and find another e-mail of someone who wants to know more and asking me for help, so to me having read a few negative comments it's all worth it.

[Guest guest]

We don't retaliate like this on our group. Please be kind. You need to tone it down a bit on your posts. You have beat the dead horse of fungus enough now. This is an IODINE group and as I have posted in the rules the topics should be related to iodine. I have let a lot of other topics go this past week but let's get back on track.

I have had ringing in my ears since I was about 9 or 10. I do know I was very

sickly as a child. I constantly had either tonsillitis or ear infections or a

stomach virus. Mumps, measles, german measles, scarletina, everything except

chicken pox. I also had asthma.

I have wondered if infection caused the ringing, or mercury from fillings, or

the overuse of antibiotics.

When you say, check copper, do you mean for too high or too low a level? Also,

what correlation does blood type have to tinnitus? Could you please explain this

to me?

Thanks! Jill~

PS I would like to apologize to Raquel. I have offended you and I did not intend

to. Please accept my sincere apologies.

[Guest guest]

Steph,

Should I take jus twhat is recommended on your site for supplements with the

iodine or is there something else I need to add. I am on HC right now. Can I

take iodine with the HC or should I wean off of it first?

And thank you for all you do here. You are wonderful and inspiring.

I took HC (Cortef) and Iodine (50 - 100 mgs) for 4 mos or so. It is fine. The supplements I have listed are the core nutrients that you need. You can add more if you want - those are located on the thyroid supporting nutrients page.

Sometimes....ringing in ears is an indication of low/deficient levels of B

vitamins.

Are you taking a good B Comples EVERYDAY?

[Guest guest]

Yes, for many years now, twice a day. Thanks for the thought.

I've just had an hair analysis done and it shows low copper and zinc levels. I also suffer from ringing in the ears (and belong to blood group A) so think it might be worth my while taking a copper supplement. What I'd like to find out is the right kind of copper supplement to take when also taking zinc?Cheers, BOn 2/07/2009, at 1:55 AM, psych doc wrote: For ringing in ears, check out blood copper level.

Greetings , I take Twinlab copper caps, purchased from www.vitacost.com.

The Now zinc tablets are in the form of zinc gluconate, which is said to be

effective.

what else happened? was there movement of fluids, drainage, etc? what became

of the sinus problems, since the ears and nose are piped into each other...if

this is result of pressure shifting, etc. has any drainage started?

ringing in ears has not happened to me with this, but i didn't have sinus

problems. i got it playing a piano with headphones and the sound seems to have

irritated my ears. it would not turn off for weeks, that was over 10 years ago,

since then it comes and goes less and less frequently. i tried putting garlic

in ears, silly i know, but tried these garlic ear drops, no effects.

Now I have ringing in my ears. Will that go away, or am I stuck with it?

Hello all!

Did any one else get ringing in the ears from toxic mold exposure? I was

exposed to stachy for approx 1.5 years. I still cant get rid of the ringing. Any

suggestions on how to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

What is the difference between the sublingual and the regular tablets?

[Guest guest]

The Solgar Vitamin B12 1000mgs is designed to be taken sublingually

so that also gets absorbed directly into the blood stream and bypasses the

stomach where the acid can destroy it.

Tinnitus in hypothyroidism is often caused because you have low

levels of vitamin B12. You need to start on a course of sublingual B12 in high

doses.

Luv - Sheila

I've got very bad tinnitus too and my ENT says that there isn't anything

much that can be done about it other than tricking ones brain into ignoring the

sound. Here are a few suggestions http://healing.about.com/cs/conditions/a/tinnitus.htm

My own experience is that relaxation often does the trick - as well

as the opposite... keeping really busy (tricking the brain). During

the day I am usually less bothered, but in the evenings it gets bad.

Tinnitus is one of the many clinical symptoms related to Hypothyroidism - as

is fatigue (adrenal). Candida is also linked to thyroid problems, but only in

the sense that many Hypos are also suffering from this condition because the

immune system is weak and yeast bacteria gets the upper hand easily.

If you are lucky, you might reduce the tinnitus or even get rid of

it once you have successfully dealt with your Candida and your

adrenal fatigue and your thyroid is optimally supplemented. My own

tinnitus got very much worse after I had a virus infection in my inner ear last

year and needed a few operations... the ear is sorted now, but the tinnitus

remained and even got worse. I'm afraid tinnitus is not an easy one to

get rid of....

I'm already taking Vit B12, Sheila, the sublingual 1000 ug from Solgar

that you take - and I top up with a jab too from time to time (~every 2

weeks) - should I take more than 1 nugget/day?

B12 is great, and I feel pretty good in general for it, but I have not

noticed any relief from the tinnitus. My last B12 count was 680, so I

appear not to be too low - although I know that the blood result is not

telling the whole story....

Hello again Dan, another late reply if you are still out there. My son also has

tinnitus. We have always assumed it is due to being a musician; he acquired it

while in college studying music tech, & knew a number of colleagues afflicted

with it as well. It came on board during the same year that his Reiter's

started cranking up to flares that forced him to leave college 2 yrs ago. But

he's had the disease most of his life so it's hard to say if they are connected.

One point worth making is that many/ most pain meds aggravate tinnitus. You may

get some help from a fractional dose of anti-anxiety (benzodiazepine such as

Xanax -- or the latest per a former gunnery sgt works better is klonopin). My

son did that for a while but it began creating unpleasant cross-vibes with

opiods for pain. We've taken a couple of measures which have helped him: we

replaced our old TV with a flat-screen (the LCD/ plasma TV's do not issue

feedback for the most part.) There was also one PC that was really whining (at

levels too high for us old folks to hear LOL); my dh discovered it was the old

hard-drive inside; once that was removed the feedback was gone.

Best of luck
