Tinnitus due to poor circulation

I have actually never thought about it. Interesting correlation, K07! I'll have to start paying more attention to my tinnitus (ugh!).

I have that too Girlie but it is definitely not as bothersome as the humming. Strangely I can hear my pulsatile when I tip my head up (like when I'm putting mascara on). I just want one darn symptom to disappear forever. Instead I just keep collecting new ones.

Ya mine goes away with venom ...and worse on zithromax ...i think its bart eating the nerves to the ear

I know what you mean..as my back pain subsided ( for now anyway) - I 'received' a new symptom - pain below my butt on both legs.

...and my feet used to be sore on the bottoms...but now since changing my Rifampin protocol, my left foot started twitching....it subsided...and last night my right foot started twitching.

It's like it is in every nook and cranny of my body...and the treatment is hitting each one by one.

You're not going to love me anymore saying this, but it occurred to me the other evening that I might be feeling the effects of a billion tiny bacterial corkscrews with fleshy fins (flagellin) screwing and wriggling into my tissues.

And I don't mean the kleenex tissues next to my bed either.

Why won't I love you after saying that? Are you saying it's lyme...and not bart?
Bart has cause me to twitch in many areas of my body...so I'm used to that symptom.

No, not at all.

Don't you get all creeped out by the idea of living things of the invasive parasite kind moving around in side of you?

You know, like the way we used to react when we first heard of the kajillions of little microscopic guys on us that devour our dead skin, crawl around in our eyelashes, living in a symbiotic sort of co-existence we'd rather not be aware of?

Thus my referral to the spirochetes moving around, eating, borrowing our insides and having offspring every so often...lol.

I have had non-stop, 24/7 tinnitus since starting treatment in September. It started out as a high-frequency sound at a constant low volume. It has since developed a tea-kettle type whistle, along with multiple high frequency sounds that are typically at a constant volume 24/7. Lately I've noticed that the sound intensifies around 11AM and continues to elevate through the afternoon. Peaks for a bit, and then intensifies further in the evening. It drops a bit at bed time, but reaches a high volume again upon waking. It is a clear pattern of timing and I have no idea why. There are days when it starts at a volume so high that all else after that is nearly unbearable. I have NO relief.

My tinnitus seems to change around randomly. I can get all kinds of sounds, some are really quite painful too!!

Girlie, the pain below your rear end could be sciatica. This would be another nerve issue, or back issue, if you have a pinched nerve or inflammation in the lower back area enough to cause the nerve to be compressed some. And, I want to say how sorry I am that you have this - I've had it for many years now, and I'm grateful that it comes and goes.

I don't think it's sciatica..it doesn't feel like nerve pain....just slight muscle pain. I could be wrong...but it's really just a little bit annoying... I also don't have any lower back pain at all.

But, I could be wrong....
