    Have your physicians explained to you why you have these symptoms?  Have they made any attempt to stop the sound?

    Theresa ,I can sympathise with you  ,12 yrs ago this December 10th I came down with a bad head virus , lost so much weight due to it , cranial osteopath said infection in menengies which had drained down into the brain . Meningitis , Epstein Barr ? I was so poorly . Virus was going around my area . I to was left with Tinnitus and chronic Sinisitus / Rhinitis . Mine is screaming hissing all over the head 24/7 . There's no cure for tinnitus sad to say . Perfect health until virus came along . I do understand all of what you've written ,the pain was so bad ( not a headache sufferer period ) I just take it a day at a time since ,always fearful of getting same virus again . 7 years ago I went on and developed Mdds balance problem  like Im on a boat. Best join Forums with other sufferers . Wished I was on Internet when I first became ill . Not a cure ,but knowing others out there in same situation with helpful coping tips they've found . X
