                        AG:  Hi!  I'm curious how your MRI turned out- ?  My condition is similiar to yours in that one ear is worse than the other. It's pretty much a 24 hour a day curse but the intensity varies.  The doctors I've seen had me take an "ABR" test designed to to indicate a possible tumor - results negative - but maybe I should insist on an MRI - I've found out it's necessary to be a bit forceful when dealing with doctors, otherwise they just want to get on with the next patient.  a reply would be appreciated.  Concerning Gingo biloba and B vitamins, I have been taking them without noticable improvement.  But they just might be doing some good and are much cheaper than the medicine men so I take them anyway.  Doctor recommended I take at least 3X the dose recommended on the bottle (for the Gingo Biloba).  TO ANYONE:  Just this morning started to scout around the web and will be checking out other sites.   Could someone recommend a good message board/discussion forum other than this one? I see a lot of questions posted here but few answers.   My condition developed - or rather, just hit me out of nowhere, about 6 months ago and I've been somewhat in denial but I guess I will have to start taking it seriously.  Worst time of day for me is the night, as this crap makes sleeping a real chore.  I'm going to try using "maskers" and investigate other treatments.  Any info from anyone will be well received - looks like we're all members of the same lousy club, like it or not. God bless -  FM
