Visual Trails and tinnitus

[acrosstheveil]

These symptoms seem related to me. When they get bad, they get bad together. When I move my hands I see a whitish outline of my limbs against a dark background. It's very strange. It seems to get worse when my sensitivies and tinnitus flare up (which is everyday now...). Just trying to understand what's going on. Sometimes I think I must have a brain tumor or something. At least that would explain something.

I have had tinnitus for years, but no visual trails. Have you been checked for a brain tumor? That is a rare cause of tinnitus.

 

[acrosstheveil]

no not yet, i probably should. how do they check for that?

Brain MRI with contrast. Sometimes they only want to do a Brain CT but they don't show as much and give you radiation.

I have light and sound sensitivity, afterimages, visual snow and constant tinnitus. I am 50% better now with a help of methylfolate, methylB12 and gluten free diet.

yea, i've seen some improvements. are there any meds out there that help with tinnitus and maybe some of these other symptoms? I'm seeing my doctor in the morning (haven't been able to sleep all night) so I figure i'd ask.
