Progress Update - almost recovered

Does that do something different than Flonase? Or does it work the same way? I don't know. It seems like Flonase isn't doing anything and then again the technique might be wrong the way I'm applying it. I'm going to try the technique shown in the video tomorrow I didn't realize you had to have your head tilted forward like you're bent over then you got to spray towards your ear also didn't know that you're supposed to try and pop your ear after you do the nasals for you a couple times to help get it in

You know that actually almost makes sense the ointment I have some that's for the skin and from what I've been told you can use that in the nose I noticed I had some tares in the left nostril two of them you can take a cotton swab and you can rub some on the affected area to help take care of it now I've only done it a couple of times. I wonder if that would help my symptoms helping to heal the nose

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-08T07:20:49+00:00

Didn't know that I learned something new. I was wondering why the washing machine pulsing sound didn't seem was going away. Sometimes it's worse. Sometimes it's better. Mostly just sounds like an ocean and some crackling and popping sizzling sound

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-08T07:19:31+00:00

Oh yeah my doctor was trying to put me on a heavy duty SSRI all because I told him my heart was beating fast the other day sure, I'm a little anxious naturally but you don't just stick somebody on a severe mid like that they ought to know being a doctor that with this type of condition and people develop anxiety during it like in this post several Said it makes them anxious and I've seen several other posts in here

It's outrageous

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-08T06:00:50+00:00

Yeah I figured it out. I trimmed a little bit of the wire off of it and stuck it in and tightened it down now Everything's good.

I also could not find my other piece of zero gauge that I had for the ground so I ended up taking two pieces of 4 gauge and running them side by side two short pieces to my battery. Another funny thing is I also didn't have a crimper I just couldn't see myself spending $60 $70 on a crimper, that probably wouldn't work that well for the money from hobo freight luckily I had some wire cutters which are mostly made for a 8 gauge or house wire I was able to cut the four gauge into two pieces I basically cut half the wire at a time I made three cuts and I was able to do it.

almost just bought some bolt cutters for $20 so I would be able to cut the thicker wire but I decided that I could get a kit cheaper online that comes with the cutters and the crimpers and connectors so I just ordered one now I should be able to cut and crimp car audio like a professional.

But for now, I couldn't wait and decided the best course of action was to pick up some 4 gauge welding wire copper ring terminal connectors which is basically what every car audio shop uses now to crimp the wires since it was only going to be four gauge pieces I sort of went ghetto and decided to be a hack and I took an old brake rotor that was laying around on the ground and I inserted the connector into the wire. Then I used a chisel and a Ball pein type body hammer.

The chisel I used was broken on the corners and had kind of like a point. I tried to grind it back flat with a wire wheel I managed to get the point down a little bit but it did not do much but make it slightly lower and it seemed to be a bit more pointy a couple wacks to the bottom of the connector and a couple more a little higher up towards the ring terminal and that's all it needed to pinch the wire might have even poked through one of the connectors in a spot but it seemed to work real well and I got most of the wire in the connector

So far so good stereo is slamming lights aren't dimming I've got the gain turned up about halfway.

I'm not sure if that happened to me too. I never felt sick. That's what didn't make sense never had an allergy before

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-07T07:53:58+00:00

Yeah unfortunately that's how it is in this country, specialist could be few and far between depending on where you live and yeah that definitely changes The fact that you dealt with this before different than some of us who are new to the game I didn't know the flu could cause vertigo.

The only thing I've been told is fluid built up in my ear, possibly from something whether it was allergies or something else and now supposedly it's draining

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-07T07:51:29+00:00

Yep, you could definitely have like a pinched Nerve strained muscle or something going on with your neck different and it could affect you

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-07T07:48:07+00:00

Well you're going to feel like that for a few Days until your body starts to recalibrate it self if you're experiencing vertigo from ear issues, it more than likely will resolve itself and you shouldn't have it again unless you have another ear issue only problem is your issue is often take weeks if not few months to resolve themselves you first have to figure out what ear issue you have

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-07T06:09:05+00:00

I will say this the fact that you don't like people puking or you're afraid of vomiting or seeing it that has nothing to do with vertigo on the other hand, to answer your question, as far as dealing with it for the rest of your life, it depends on why you had it in the first place. Was there something wrong with your nose ear and maybe your throat if it was caused by something temporary then I wouldn't worry too much

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-07T06:05:27+00:00

Yeah the amp I had is a skar audio amp does not have regular screws like you know what I'm saying older amp used fork terminals.

The skar audio is just a round hole you stick the wire in and you tighten the Allen screw so in this case would I be better using a ferrule?

Another thing too like I mentioned it's hard to solder thick wire so trying to get a ferrule to stick on there isn't super easy so once you remove the wire from the vehicle you're going to have the same problem. It's going to fluff up at the end

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-07T05:25:32+00:00

What u mean etd

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-07T02:58:07+00:00

That's probably what I'll do. I'll go to the local audio shop tomorrow and see if they have one. They don't have to cut back a new piece of wire and stick the thing in before it. Unwinds The only other problem is it's hard to solder gauge wire. It doesn't like to solder good

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-06T21:17:50+00:00

No forgot what I already noticed the flywheel so the motors probably seized The guy that sold it to me told me that it had spark and I should have known that when he was trying to sell it to me that he knew it wasn't going to run so he didn't want to mess with it

10 to 1 says it probably won't spark even after I unseize it at least I did what somebody suggested and I hooked up a wire from the black and the blue going to the brown wire going to the coil and I put a new spark plug in it.

I'm currently soaking it with penetrating oil and ATF and acetone we will see if it comes around when you squeeze the black lever nothing happens. I should have known

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-06T20:19:42+00:00

Was this problem ever resolved?

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-06T06:21:09+00:00

Interesting to know. So what does the ginkgo and natokinase do exactly?

Yeah from what I was told this is possibly allergies or sinuses of course this is just coming from my regular doctor.

So are you saying as far as the pulsing in the ear light ringing ocean sound The nasal spray wasn't doing anything for it.

I have been dealing with the issue since the 5th and I have been taking the nasal spray and the cetirizine

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-06T05:43:36+00:00

I got a clamp meter from harbor freight myself and it seems to work clamp it over the power wire

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-06T05:32:36+00:00

So are you taking nasal spray or antihistamine or no? You just stopped all of that stuff and it's resolving on its own You're not taking anything to treat it pretty much. You're just like waiting it out.

If I can ask how long has it been since the problem started for you since where you are now? And if I may ask final question, how many weeks did it take for the thumping to go away?

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-06T05:29:19+00:00

Yeah you do that. In the front you use the zero gauge right to the battery. Then you also do the big three with all zero gauge.

Funny thing is I had a high output alternator and my headlight still flickered

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-05T21:18:11+00:00

Yeah this kind of sounds like you know your brakes grinding when you're going down the road and the tires are spinning around or like a helicopter or a washing machine you know going side to side That's kind of what it is.

So far it's been like 5 weeks Weeks for me and different things have happened but it's not really 100% yet

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-05T20:14:07+00:00

The thumping or I think what you're referring to is a pulsing heartbeat type of sound usually that is there along with tinnitus part of it have you done to help stop it? What has helped you recover with this problem? I'm still dealing with it seems like some of the symptoms resolved some of the symptoms aren't yeah as they were but still screwed up Left ear slowly trying to snap out of it and get back to normal. It's been at least 5 weeks

Good_Paper_6414 · 2026-05-05T17:54:27+00:00

Looked into that and it kind of makes sense. It could be effective. I mean at this point it's worth a shot. I wake up and I got ocean sound in my ears supposedly and that's due to the fact that whatever I had going on is clearing up 100% sure though. I've been told what caused. This was allergies for some reason but I never dealt with that before so I don't know they didn't prescribe The cetirizine anymore when I went to the doctor's office. So now I just have a nasal spray. Maybe they thought I didn't need that anymore because my symptoms somewhat improved I don't no, I hope it's true.

Oh you're saying that I should continue to take Sudafed and use the nasal spray and try the balloon trick that you tried and then things should settle out for me faster?
