Homeless in Dallas Texas

Not sure who upgraded me this time but thank you.

That would be me again and you're very welcome. It appears to be a reoccurring monthly subscription. I'll let it run until I feel different. Take care friend.

Sometimes you just can't catch a break!

Just when I'm all happy the my gout episode has finally subsided after three weeks I get another whammie!

On tuesday night at 7pm I'm sitting in the cabin reading and all of a sudden my ears start ringing very loudly. Kept me up till 2 am till i was so tired I finally did fall asleep with it, hoping it would subside by morning.

But nope. Persisted all wednesday.

So today my friend drives me back to the ER where they don't do very much but look in my ear canal and say no ruptured ear drum, little ear wax. Diagnosis --Tinitis, go see an ENT.

Although I plan to see an ENT next month when i have the funds, I'm a bit depressed after doing about 10 hours of online research.

Seems people who get this often have it for life and either learn to life with it, go crazy, or kill emselves.

I didn't have any kind of trauma to my ear.

I did read that there is a corolation between taking ibuprofren and ear problems. Apparently even though it's not on the label, ibuprofen is a ototoxic drug. I had been taken heavy doses of advil to combat the gout, and I took two for a headache on tuesday when this started.

I just hope it's not permanant. Reading about people tell how they've lived with it 24/7 for 30,40,50 years and either learn to just ingore the sounds or mask them somehow.

Anyway, that's where i am today :)

Other than that I'm in great spirits.

Happened to me back in the mid-eighties - saw multiple doctors - multiple tests - nothing to be done about it. Lasted for months - until I left the state where I was living at the time (Mass) and relocated overseas. Damn thing just cleared up. Weird, but true.

I'll put it in a paragraph, so you get it.

The game is to scare the shit of out you so much, so you don't get the courage to questioning what the fuck I am doing while I take down the country and the world economy to put my new world order Agenda 21 shit without any problems.

That would cut into all the pot smoking I'm guessing...

I believe you. Yesterday I read through literally thousands of forum posts from people who suffer from this horror, some have dealt with it their whole lives. I am glad that yours cleared up and hope mine does too. I'm thankful that it has not yet woken me up from my sleep at night. Though I am already using "white noise" to make it when I try to crash out for the day.

Oh and save your money on the ent. They will clean your ears out and suggest you have your tonsils out

Yeah! White Noise really does help!

I agree with "they will clean you out" meaning your wallet. Not worth the trouble as there is nothing they can do. Either it clears up on it's own or you just learn to live with. I'm guessing here, but, perhaps stress is at fault.

Thinking too much about the wrong stuff. I believe that was my problem. Changed location, job, friends, etc... all gone.

I've lived with it all my life man. It's can get really bad at times. I've noticed especially dry or humid conditions set it off along with high stress.

Meditation does wonders to make it go away for a short period. If it does persist and starts to drive you crazy you can see a specialist and get a special hearing aid fitted which counteracts the frequency and nullifies it. As you can imagine though they are $$$$$$$$.

Just like your life demons ignore it and it shouldn't bother you most of the time. The only issues arises when you have to ask someone to repeat themselves 5 times as you can't hear them.

Btw... reads the entire story, very heart warming, glad you finally found your feet. May your good fortune continue.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if you had a bad effect from ibuprofen or any other over the counter or prescription drug.

For me, I used to take a lot of ibuprofen for my back, and I think it burned holes in my gut and contributed to a severe wheat intolerance developing.

If you can deal with any health problems including this tinnitus without going to doctors and their poisonous drugs, that would be great in the long run.

If the drug caused the tinnitus, what then, they put you on another drug? Maybe that helps the tinnitus but does something to your liver? Then they put you on a drug for your liver and that does something to your kidneys? A drug for that and pretty soon you are in the hospital, and more drugs til you are D-E-A-D and I am not even kidding, this happens to people every day.

Keep your money and spend it on good food and vitamins, minerals, supplements, herbs, books instead.

the fact you are typing on a pawnable laptop wondering what you are gonna do for food proves that either you're an idiot or a troll.

SO he should pawn the most valuable tool he has in the world that could help solve his problem? God thinking there fuckstick. I can tell you through experience that Texas is not the place to be when down and out, it's te kind of place that respects money and has no mercy for anyone in need. You had better get te hell out of Dallas before you are beaten to death by the police or end up in a private prison

Hello friend, if you would like I can bring you food and water for several days! I live close to dallas and would not mind driving out to help an unfortunate soul.

If you want to get in contact, email me at [email protected]

Heh, you should have read more of the thread. I've been out of dallas for a month.

Yeah, I'm trying to stay homeopathic as much as possible right now. Honestly, though, when I was going through the gout the ibuprofen was the only thing that helped the immediate swelling. I cannot say with any kind of certainty that it is the cause of the tinnitus. I have taken ibuprofen in the past, but never 800mg 3x a day for more than one day in a row. I found a forum with tons of complaints from people who swear the profen is responsible for their tinnitus. IF this is true, I'm amazed that no class action law suit has ever been brought considering how many people take ibuprofen and might be suffering tinnitus because of it.

I'm not in Texas anymore..And it's pretty chilly where i am now. I prefer the colder weather, though
