I have been to several times of acupuncture treatments since October. Today was the eighth time and it was my first tinnitus treatment. My physiotherapist asked me how long time has tinnitus been bothering me. At least 10 years I answered. He told me it will take longer time and many times of acupuncture treatment. I told him bring it on. I am not scared of the pain as long as the treatments help to heal me. I am really for the long journey.
I went to the Otolaryngology in 2008, seeking for help and answer. After I had filled out a questionnaire with 30 questions about how I felt physically and then did some hearing tests, they diagnosed that I had deep depression symptoms and wrote me a few antidepressant prescriptions. I asked them was there any treatment than just taking medicine, They told me no other treatment and even make a joke of encouraging me to maybe consider change my job and move to a quiet environment.
Did I take the medicine? I am very proud of myself to say it out loud here: " NO I have never taken out any medicine from those prescriptions." I deal with the problem through out these years in my own ways - yoga, dancing, photographing, singing. Do these methods help to heal my tinnitus? No, they don't. The buzzing sound accompany me 24-7 at different volume level. Sometimes it's really too loud until I wake up in the middle of the night.
I found out three weeks ago my physiotherapist also knows how to treat tinnitus with acupuncture so I asked him to start the mission of killing the "buzzing bees" that is "flying" inside my ears today.
It was total worth going to him today even though I have to bite the bullet and let him put needles onto my ears where 10 times of loud "ouch" sounds could clearly heard by the other patients sitting outside the treatment room.
Why worthy? ............ because I got the chance to meet the sun this morning too! Yes!
Another beautiful day and another well done day!
Cheers to me! :)

| Treatment for my painful arm last week. I couldn't take a photo of today's treatment though. I should have done it cause I might look very cute with the needles on the ears and hear...like a cartoon. |
