New here--checking symptoms

That’s true, but these things are so personal was wary of suggesting.

Here’s what may have helped me, YMMV:

@turnitaround

What do you think other than meds helped you get to this point?

Personally speaking:

• Time (& therefore patience!)
• Keeping head up to keep CSF pressure off of the bad ear
  • At night in bed, used three pillows in triangle so head is always above body
  • Didn’t oversleep and Didn’t recline during day!
  • Minimum bending down such that head kept above waist as much as possible - at one point I could increase tinnitus by a lot just by bending down which was a big clue to what was going on and what might not be good for me
• Conservative exercise but active every day
  • mostly walking, I had a big relapse after lifting some boxes so I’d say don’t strain!
• Lots of fluids, mainly herbal tea
• Didn’t follow diet much (but there were times when I noticed it worsened symptoms a bit)

I also kept listening to music through headphones to a minimum for a while.

And since then I’ve noticed relapses co-coinciding with too much coffee.
