i need some really good home remedies for acne.

im going back to school tomorrow, and i would like for my skin to be a little better. i had a major breakout right when we got out of school for Winter break, and it still hasn't gone away. i have tried all the treatments i can. and nothing seems to help!

:[

Let me start of by saying I'm 19 years old. I've been in a band for about 3 years and I've exposed me ears to extremely loud noise without plugs or anything to protect them and I believe I developed Tinnitus about 2 years ago. I had a slight ringing sound with a bit of buzzing but it was always tolerable, usually i would just put some music on and forget about it. Recently it's been getting worse so I started wearing ear plugs and it seemed to be keeping things the way they were. I have the ringing in both ears. A few days ago I was playing the music without the ear plugs and the ringing seemed to get worse. Though the last few months I've been getting dizzy spells (vertigo if you will) and i didn't think much of it. I started feeling nauseous to the point where I would want to vomit but I haven't yet. I feel off balance throughout the day. My ears also feel full as if I couldn't pop them but I really have no problem with that. The ringing seems to intensify sometimes and I also pick up a lot of sharp sounds in my ears that wouldn't have bothered me before. After doing some research I came across meniere's disease which pretty much backs up all of my symptoms. The only discouraging part is that I'm so young and this usually effects adults in their 30's and up. Im not ruling this out a single bit but I wanted to know if anybody out there is suffering from the same symptoms or even has meniere's disease and maybe tell me hoe to keep the ringing to a tolerable level. I have a hard time sleeping, thats when the ringing seems to be at it's worst. I cut Sodium out of my diet as of yesterday and I'm waiting to see if it shows any positive results. The earliest I can get in to see my doctor is March 3rd (a little over 2 weeks from today) and I'm hoping i can deal with it until then. I've read that they do have surgeries to help with this and I would very much so consider it due to my young age. I'm hoping things will resolve on it's own but only time can tell. Does anybody have any recommendations for me? Medications or just helpful information I couldn't find on a website? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Is my tinnitus causing further damage?

I have recently discovered my tinnitus and it bothers me a lot. I have the type that sounds like it is coming from the center of my head. When I am in a quiet room it makes me dizzy hearing it, and it seems SO LOUD! But throughout the day I don't notice it, it gets drowned out, but I know it is still there. Every time I go to my quiet room and listen to it it seems like it is worse than the day before, but I am not certain of this. Is this awful ringing in my head causing further damage? Also, I fear that this may be permanent and I'm afraid I may not be able to cope with it. Anyone relate to that?

i have been getting this for 2 weeks. no matter what i do, i can not make the feeling of my ear being blocked go away. i tried yawning, chewing gum, and nothing has worked. what should i do?

I concentrate much better with tunes playing in the background or via headphones; partially because my ears ring if there's not some type of 'white noise', and partially because it helps me fully ignore everyone around me rather than zoning out like I sometimes do. I've got ADHD, so having something to keep me focused usually helps – thus why I'm asking this question.

Also, I'd be using headphones while taking the test so as to not be rude to the other takers.

We're getting ready to move and when our dog was a puppy, she was very stubborn about being potty trained. We would clean up after her, but there is a smell that just won't go away. We now have to get the urine smell out of the carpets to get our deposit back – we've used a Rug Doctor but that only helped with any stains that might have been there, such as drink spills, etc. and didn't really help with the smell. I need something that will work on the smell, whether it's a home remedy or something you can buy at the store. I've tried a couple of products and they don't seem to do the job. HELP!!! I'm desperate…I will even have the carpets professionally cleaned if I need to, but wanted to see if anyone had any good ideas first.

tinnitus how do i get rid of it?

i have an ear infection and i cant hear anything but "the ocean" (sounds like a conch shell) what do i do? will it go away with the infection?

Where to buy Tinnitus Masking Device?

I am suffering with Tinnitus and I want to buy Masking Device for it which may be worn like an hearing device and gives soothing pre-recorded sound. I am Indian nationality so either tell me if it is available in India or give me the links of online sites from where I can buy using online payment methods.

Thanks to all here.
Hi Alley,

Thanks for the information. Please note that I have already consulted the ENT and Audiologists in India and in Kuwait (where I am working presently now) and have been confirmed of having Tinnitus. At times this sound is unbearable and I need to have some relief so I need to have some external device to give me relief. I have also tried other non-conventional methods like chinese herbals, homoeopathy etc. etc bu to no relief.

Please let me have some references if any one knows from where to get the masking device. I shall be very greatful.

tmj surgery?

has anybody ever got tmj surgery, i'm worried because from researching on the internet i've found that its a relitivaly new surgery and there a great chance of something going wrong or getting little or no possitive results. i've had it many years at the start it was just neck pain and occasional headache, as time went on other problems arose sinus, shoulder pain, numbness in my hands and fingers, presure in my ears, eyes and temble, aswell as tinnitus and the most annoying ear poping.

i've always being able to cope with the pain and discomfert untill it got worst after a tooth extraction in january of this year, i've come to a realisation that its going to get worse if i don't adress it any am wondering if anyone has any experience with tmj or tmd or tmj surgery

Every once in a while my hearning will diminish, then a ringing will appear for about 10 to 15 seconds, and then vanish. I will regain the normal hearing and normal sounds again. This occurs once in a long while. Any experts who might know?

I've been using lotion off and on for it but it hasn't gone away.
And its just on my chin.

I am semi-deaf in one ear and nned to control the left and right volumes seperately. I also sleep with them to mask humming sounds (tinnitus) in one ear. I connect it to my Ipod.Is there such a product? Thanks

It's a Lennox. The sound can be described as a non-stop ringing noise like a high pitched whining, buzzing, hissing, humming sound much like Tinnitus.

Can Toprol XL cause constant ringing in ears and other symptoms, such as swelling of fingers and toes, mood swings, hateful thoughts?
