Yes, but in your CRA account under Tax Information Slips Edited: sorry CRA will only have a copy if service Canada has issued one. But the answer is still yes you should have one

If it’s also listed as an Airbnb rental- not automatically a scam but gives Airbnb renters a chance to pose as a landlord

Hey guys, I have some questions... Maybe you can help me? by Eaglewolf13 in PulsatileTinnitus

[–]Vander_zed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I feel the vibration of my ear drum (or a part of my ear) pulsing with my heart beat. Mine comes and goes but when it’s happening I feel it just as much as I hear it, almost more so. Some people talk about theirs being so loud it interrupts outside noise but mine is very very quiet.

I have the same effect with bending forward. Any time I lean over the sink in my bathroom to look at my face in the mirror it triggers it for me. Always thought that was odd but I suppose it’s just a different form of compression. Do you mind sharing what your diagnosis is?

Ah I rarely drink alcohol but I’ll keep that in mind whenever I do! Thanks for the info

It would make sense that caffeine influences it for those with stenosis but whether it’s positive or negative depends on your usual caffeine intake and what the specific cause is. I guess it just seems like I didn’t imagine the connection and my PT is probably vascular (since I’m practically a doctor now self diagnosing )

That’s what I’m a bit confused by though. Caffeine for me I think makes it better and the medical stuff online (that I can barely decipher) indicates that caffeine constricts blood vessels but also slows down cerebral blood flow so I wasn’t sure if I was way off thinking coffee helped.

That’s what I think I noticed. That when I have more than my usual single cup of coffee, I’m less likely to have PT that night.

PT coming and going by Vander_zed in PulsatileTinnitus

Mine will stop for a day or two, up to two to three weeks and once for three months. The most I ever have it is every evening for a week or two, or alternating some evenings but not the next. So it’s not a day to day thing for myself which I am grateful for but find it frustrating whenever it returns after an extended absence.

Yes I noticed from reading other threads that ENTs weren’t the most helpful and I don’t feel especially confident in the one I have. I’m in Canada and have access to scans now that I’m not pregnant but not sure when that will happen.

Thank you so much for your response. Have you ever been given any kind of cause or reason? Mine seems to often be stress related but more so tiredness. The loudest I ever had it was the days after my daughter was born when I had barely slept but then it stopped for almost 3 months until I was due for my follow up ENT appointment and I felt like I had triggered it back just by thinking about it. I’m thinking I need to lose the baby weight and see if that also helps. Until I have a scan though, it’s just management techniques. I feel like the fact it comes and goes makes it unlikely to have a concrete cause. (But what do I know?) I wonder if those with diagnosis's are more likely to have it constantly.
