The variablesof your bad days could be that you had a high sodium big mac that day, drank that night, had more than one diet coke, took ibruprofen for that headache, or you have an undiagnosed food allergy and on your bad days you ate those things. - the possibilities are endless - and you can rack your brain trying to find it to get those good days back -

probably, in the end, you will have to engage in a proactive therapy that is consistenly followed to achieve good days being more than bad days -

I have the same experiences you do - some findings, I drank two beers and felt high as a kite - woke up to screaming tinnitus.

I drank three or four diet cokes because the temperatures soared in the 100's and I used that to stay hydrated.

I ate a big mac and had the fries too

I exposed myself to very loud lawn equipment

I have no idea - that day just sucked for no reason

I took ibruprofen all day for a headache

I started a new med from my psych and the next day was hell

Anyone else? I heard from many of you - just a loud noise from nowhere triggers tea kettle tinnitus - and you want to strangle the person who walked up to and popped that bag and started giggling.

This is a condition with a mind of its own.

don't forget insomnia - no sleep equals brain racking tinnitus - get the sleep somehow -

I use to suffer from that tremendously, sleep three hours - stay awake four hours - wake up again to screaming tinnitus - sucks.

I used to have a lot of pitch variances throughout the day. Trileptal seems to stabilize the pitch and keep it at a lower frequency. Sometimes it lowers the volume but not always and not for long.

Bob--That is good information. I was wondering how the Trileptal was doing. My T is very shrill, so lowering the pitch would be a blessing.
