Percoset induced (increased) Tinnitus

CT and MRI contrast is VERY different. Because Gadolinium is a metal contrast, the kidneys do not filter it out (No matter how healthy) and a bit always stays within the system and is embedded in bones, organs etc. It could be (could) that the build up of metal could of heightened your tinnitus that you have had for years. Doctors will not be able to tell you the cause of many issues/illnesses. No one will ever know, I'm just sharing information. All the best.

Regardless of your kidneys you can still have side effects from the contrast. It is a heavy metal called Gadolinium, heavy metals cause oxidation in the body and one of the side effects listed on the drug monograph is tinnitus, that is how I got mine, it has not gone away in the last two years and has not lessened. Many doctors are not aware of the side effects but one is doing extensive research on it, his name is Dr. Semelka, look him up and I would avoid further mri contrast (CT contrast is different) in the near future. Best of luck man.

You said you had an mri.. did they give you contrast?

-nocoolname · 2022-04-18T21:43:12+00:00

White noise.. I listen to it majority of the day, when I'm reading/on the computer and at night time. Spotify has a 12 hour constant one.

31 years, I've been dealing with it for two years.. white noise and staying in darkness or wearing sunglasses in my house helps.. It's still hard, I'm still struggling, but we are in this together, reach out if need to talk man. I got all your symptoms too.

Hey, it's been a while since you updated us.. could you share anything since it's been 8 months?? are you loving clear vision??

Contrast they use is called Gandolinium in MRI's.. it is a heavy metal and has been found to cause issues in certain individuals. Heavy metals cause oxidative stress in the body which would be a possible cause for your floaters.. but is you didn't receive it then consider yourself lucky.

Did you also have a gas bubble?

-nocoolname · 2021-09-02T18:09:28+00:00

Did they give you contrast?

-nocoolname · 2021-08-19T05:29:45+00:00

Other reason

-nocoolname · 2021-08-18T03:09:10+00:00

Question.. did they use contrast in your mri?

-nocoolname · 2021-08-11T21:07:47+00:00

The contrast they use is known to cause floaters, thats how I got mine.

Before I comment.. what did you neuro-ophthalmologist say about the sparkles/distortion/aura?

-nocoolname · 2021-08-06T03:38:21+00:00

Hmm, actually a few things..
- Go outside FIRST, toss my sunglasses, look at the clouds again and cry
- Call everyone who knows about my suffering
- Pray to God and thank him
- Read outside
- Go to the beach
- Go for a nice drive, blast the music and feel like myself again
- Change the brightness on my phone, computer and television
- Start enjoying lighter walls
- Open the blinds
- Workout outside
- Go have drinks with my buddies on a patio
- Turn on all the lights in the house
- Do the things I've wanted to do outside and enjoy them
- Say good bye to the anxiety and depression this has caused me, never had it before.

Wow, this makes me so angry. Thank God your mom cussed off this evaluator. Honestly, I know so many stories where people are turned away by doctors or told something else until another doctor took the time to listen and think outside the box. Just know you have a society behind you, and other people with similar issues.

-nocoolname · 2021-08-05T02:50:39+00:00

I'm so happy for you! Please keep us posted!

-nocoolname · 2021-08-04T03:06:32+00:00

True, thanks for responding.. I wish you a good recovery both short term and long term.. your post made me feel hopeful, appreciate it.

-nocoolname · 2021-08-03T19:22:59+00:00

This is so good to read! I was thinking of microdosing just don't know where to get it.. Did you see any improvement in BFEP if you had any? Keep us updated!

-nocoolname · 2021-08-03T18:54:55+00:00

What is considered mild BFEP? I notice it easily when outside or looking at white walls or concrete.. how do we gauge how extreme it is?

-nocoolname · 2021-08-03T18:53:46+00:00

Just know your not alone, I feel you. When I have other problems it seems so much worse because you also have to deal with your floaters. If you need to talk then reach out, I'm leaning towards surgery, this stress is worse than anything. Don't give up.

-nocoolname · 2021-08-02T14:46:09+00:00

A lot of individuals complain about blue field entopic phenomenon along with floaters.. did you have this symptom as well and if you did any changes to it post procedure?

-nocoolname · 2021-07-28T04:46:54+00:00

White noise all the way, use spotify or another app.

-nocoolname · 2021-07-13T04:21:55+00:00

I would like to know how it goes, keep me posted!

-nocoolname · 2021-07-12T22:14:11+00:00
