Thumping in Ear / Pulsatile Tinnitus
I am being driven batty by pulsatile tinnitus. It started about 8 weeks ago. My ENT is sending me for an MRI posterior fossa (sp?) and an IAC MRA of my neck and brain late this week.
I take a sleeping pill on the worst nights. I have cut down on my cups of tea (not easy), and dark chocolate (even harder). The only vice I have left is cream cheese!
Since the last e-mail in this thread, have any of you come across a remedy that eases the tinnitus? I wonder if the Herceptin is doing this?
