Is the buzzing anything like ringing in your ears? Sometimes tinnitus can have as simple a cause as buildup of earwax. Other times, it's more serious.

My neurologist has ruled out an inner ear problem Kimmio, at least for now. a
 
Disturbing effect on the Pituitary (sinusoid infections) can excite this key member of the Limbic system and cause a disturbance of senses ...

Some can't see it a core functions are blind ... and difficult to look into ...
 
Interesting how different parts of the country deal with things in different ways. My son's neurologist told him he would need to see an Ear/Nose/Throat person to diagnose his ringing ear problem.

The difference in treatment is interesting Kay. I don't know, though, that it's caused by the difference in geographical location. Hope all will work out well for your son.

No. What an interesting idea. I must be a bit more observant next time. They're erratic halos, and I don't know if they're around a specific item/pattern that I don't know I'm focussing on because they seem sorta random to me. They certainly get in the middle of things I'm trying to read.

My first instinct is glaucoma, but hopefully it's just a magical experience.:)
 
No, it is glaucoma, not magic. I've been avoiding it for a long time...but the aura is also associated with migraines I've had since I was a teen. My brain and eyes have oft been non-congruent entities...
 
I bought a neoprene knee tensor sleeve at Marshall's for $10. Actually, first I got a tensor bandage at Shopper's. I put that on over my leggings, under the brace and it helped but the dam brace still slipped down my leg. So then I went to Marshalls to see if they had any leg warmers from winter on clearance - the idea being to make my leg less tapered at the calf and ankle and maybe bunch it at the top of my foot so it can't fall down enough to dig into my foot. They didn't have leg warmers but I saw this tensor sleeve and it was half the cost of similar things at Shoppers. So, on a bench in the mall, I doctored myself up. I took off the brace, and the bandage, put the tensor sleeve over my knee (over leggings), then put the bandage around my lower calf and ankle loosely, to add bulk - then put the brace back on. Rather uncouth in a mall. Oh, well. I'm beyond caring about that. Seems to help quite a bit. The knee tensor gives extra support so I feel better about it being able to heal properly.
 
I particularly so sympathize with you, Kim, because of trying to heal a broken leg on a very active dog, with a very difficult break, on a really awkward spot on the bone. We had casts, we had splints, and ultimately, "we" the doggie orthopaedic surgeon, elected for an "external plate" which temporarily screwed into the top and bottom of the tibia to keep it together until it fused.

Praying for you Kimmio. May God bless you with healing and comfort.

Actually, I think it is caused by your lack of understanding of the role of a neurologist. They don't diagnose ear problems and dismiss them as you claim.
 
@Jae I'm a bit confused - the buzzing you describe in your head, does it seem to be something similar to tinnitus, or is the sensation more specific to the head/brain and less to the ear?

It doesn't seem to me to be an ear thing ChemGal.

Two things unusual for me began about 2 months ago. One is a buzzing at the top of my head near the back. It isn't painful (thankfully!), it is just present. The other is a metallic taste in my mouth.

My neurologist met and talked with me, then tested a few things out. Tested my vision (my ability to follow her finger), and my reflexes. She also looked into my ears using an otoscope.

She then decided to send me for a blood test, a urine test, and an EEG.

To me that seems reasonable to *not* send you to an ENT to rule out ear issues. Not an expert on this, but it seems reasonable for the assumption to be that's neurological in nature and not related to the ear and for the neurologist to verify it's unlikely to be an ear issue.

@KayTheCurler I think what you've described is a very different situation with your son.

The ear and the eye are strange things to the mind ... if they send conflicting missals to the brain ... the mind determines Zae Sickness ... and purges occur ... affected the church Sea too ... crossed signals from the heart and intellect (all that is out there)! Such is sometimes considered lost or eliminated by those not wishing to know much ... thoughts bother them?

Can you imagine being haunted haughtily by thoughts (bith aughts; bi-word)?

To get what you really want you must oppress thinking ... and then it becomes communal ... it spreads ... naïveté is like that an unseen power ... conspired by absence? We ask; what's missing? Tis yet beyond us it is said ... so much to catch up on ...
