I should be shot for forgetting insulin resistance can cause tinnitus, and of course, diabetes. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22153963 PP The following user(s) said Thank You: Archer | |

Also interested in the possibility of treatment improving tinnitus, and it makes logical sense that the brain would "fill in" any hearing loss with its own "white noise". I've had a roughly 70-80 yo hearing level dating from when I contracted an ear infection at age 6 which knocked out the higher registers,. So I guess tinnitus is just as 'normal' to me as not being able to hear speech when there is competing background noises, birds etc. I got hearing aids a couple of years ago and was startled to learn that you can hear your feet hitting the ground when you walk lol Stress is another factor I'd always suspected had an influence on it too, good call on that emilio. I've lived through some pretty traumatic circumstances and at those times the tinnitus has elevated to sound like loud, high-pitched screaming. I'd be interested to see if treatment would lessen any of what I experience, and whether any of it might be due to hep C.
Well for what its worth LondonGirl, I don't think I've had any thorough investigations past a yearly (or fewer sometimes) basic LFT in 25 years since diagnosis. Certainly no one has ever bothered to ask much about diet, beyond a couple of general questions. ..I don't think its that uncommon.

| LHi Zhuk, Uncommon? Sure, it is here in England. I was thinking more basic observations, like BP, pulse, look in eyes, ears, reflexes, that kind of thing. Basic observations. My GP sent me to a nutritionist because I was losing so much weight and asking him about 'good' fats. Unfortunately, nutritionist wasn't at all friendly towards me and looked at me like he had a bad smell under his nose & Couln't wait to get me out of his space. Reluctantly told me to 'eat more'. Waste of time. I have visted medical centers abroad myself & with others over the years. They do basic obs. Even when you go in with a bad cold or tunny upset, including urine sample to check for any infection, before you see the Dr., makes sense to me. You know?

Definitely makes sense to treat a bit more of the patient as a whole, yes. And if you can unearth a good GP this will be taken into account. Just making the point that I've never experienced that in a liver clinic. And strangely enough I have also lost about 5kg since last March (apparently, as I never weigh myself lol) Received the same instruction to 'eat more' too heh...but in my case I've had other health issues which have kept me inside and inactive for most of this year, which wouldn't help.

| Agree inactive doesn't help. However, there is eating well & active but still losing weight too. 'Holistic' seems to have become a dirty word, but a nurse friend of mine recently retired, said basic observations were the core part of nursing for most of her career and feels standards have gone into decline. Another friend here in England recently commented re younger GPs 'It's like they really don't want to touch you' .

Thanks LondonGirl, and the same to you. I agree that GPs seem a lot less 'hands-on' these days...and what investigations they have once done now tend to be farmed out to a variety of specialists, all at extra cost. Look for the old school docs who still have a handbasin in their surgeries heh GT1a since 1988, diagnosed 1990 F0, tx naive VL 262,000 ALT 40 AST 26 GGT 13 Fibroscan 04/12/15 - 2.9 Started Mesochem sof/dac 12 weeks 01/01/2016 11/02/2016 - 6 weeks UNDETECTED AST 26 ALT 26 | |
