Speaking of anecdotes ... I just read a story yesterday about a lawyer who all of sudden got tinnitus and it drove him nuts; couldn't sleep etc. Doctors performed all kinds of tests, MRIs, MROs, MRUs, MOUSE all fine, 'you have tinnitus, live with it'. The whooshing sound is driving him nuts. He finds another doc a long drive away and the doc sticks a stethoscope to his ear. Nobody else had thought to do that. He hears the sound. Uh oh. Turns out the guy had taken some meds for a stomach condition and threw up violently. During one of these bouts he hyper extended his neck and pinched his jugular which had pooled blood in his ear cavity which, it turns out, sudden onset tinnitus is a classic symptom of. Good news: we can fix your tinnitus. Bad news: you're lucky you didn't have a stroke and die, and fixing this is going to be tricky. Luckily they stented his neck and he's better now. Scary. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
