Tinnitus

[Guest guest]

I have a 59 y.o. female with constant tinnitus. Regular work-up with

her MD showed not remarkable findings. She is under alot of stress at

work and suffers from hot flashes. She had a complete hysterectomy 20

years ago and otherwise is in good health. I started her on BTG's and

Unda's 10, 16 and 1000, thinking that the tinnitus was related to

menopause, lack of kidney yin, etc. Patient began drops, felt a gouty

sensation in big toe. This progressed to burning in her mouth and back

of throat (patient is not sensitive to EtOH - OK with wine, spirits).

Drops could not be tolerated in water at even 1 gtt qd. Patient is

having difficulty eating " rough foods " - it has been 3 weeks since

stopping drops. Patient had shingles on face 15 years ago - is she

draining from this illness??

I am taking tinnitus teleconference in Feb but hoping for some help

before them.

Thanks,
