Hi everyone.I have otosclerosis for few years now in both ears.

Thanx for ur reply.
I discovered it accidentally as I went to a friend at work and did a hearing test. after that the tinnitus got worse.
the tinnitus by itself is not bothering much, but it is the hearing problem. The hearing impairment is worse on the left side and so is the tinnitus.
The tinnitus is hissing like...or lets say whisling all the time. And again there is no worse/better times. It is the same.
there is no heaviness, itching or discharge. The ears are fine.
The only thing I complain of is occasional back pain, but nothing else. Fit and well.

please take BRYONIA 30C two times a day for some days and you may notice a change in the symptoms after some 10 to 15 days.
continue till you get a significant improvement is achieved.

Dear RISHIMBA
How are you now - did the BRYONIA 30C work for you ? I do not understand how people can 'cry' for help, and then hardly ever come back to share their results. This is not fair for those who spend time and offer you advice.
I have very similar symptoms as you
have, I visited EAR specialist, had a CAT SCAN of both ears and they say that it is BILATERAL OTOSCLEROSIS (i.e. in both ears). They only offer :
- sodium fluoride supplement (but it has many side effects)
- operation called STAPEDECTOMY (there are some risks that it might actually be worse after operation)
So I also do NOT want to go for operation - I would rather get it treated homoeopathically. Problem is that there is no good homeopath that I know where I live (Adelaide, South Australia)

Hi again.
Sorry I didnot reply.
I didnot try yet. But I am going to try soon.
It is frustrating to have this condition for me and for anyone.
I would try anything (as long as it is safe).
I will update you after few weeks from starting the homeopathyic treatment. I will be great if it worked...though I doubt.

1. RE: your though I doubt:
I am not sure why you doubt ? Homeopathy worked very well for most of problems in my family, for ~ 10 years.
It may be that BRYONIA will not work for you, but then you might try another one
(read ABC threads on : http://www.abchomeopathy.com/search.php --> search for 'OTOSCLEROSIS').
Problem is to get to a really good homeopathic professional person.
2. But in the meantime - while you are on BRYONIA - you might contact / do more research as for an alternative HOMEOPATHIC and/or TISSUE SALTS supplements
3. What I do not understand is that you said:
a. 'I would try anything'
b. ' is frustrating to have this condition for me and for anyone.'
... and 6 weeks passed since your first post here and you still did not try BRYONIA or anything else in HOMEO area. So may be you are not affected as much as you think ?
4. As for your : 'as long as it is safe' - in last ~ 10 years I did A LOT OF READING and research and in my opinion the HOMEOPATHY is one of the safest treatments available.
If not the need to earn money for leaving in my current 2 professions (I have family, mortgage) I would have started studying HOMEOPATHY years ago, for my won use and ability to help others.

thanx for the reply .
based on this website, I tried Phosphorus tablets for around 4 weeks now with no effect. so I am waiting for the Bryonia to arrive and try it.
I am a doctor. This is possibly why it is difficult to believe in homeopathy.
What I read are studies rather than individual experiences which has alot of bias in it.
Again, I am open and willing to try anything that can be potentionally useful.

Sure - if you read mostly homeop. studies then it might be biased. So far my ~ 12 years experience is that the more acute the problem (especially coming from bacteria or virus) the more powerful the homeop. treatment was.
For years lasting, chronic, complex problems - like skin rash, migraine, etc - I had less luck, sometimes nothing at all.
But as with everything - be patient and keep trying. You see with homeopathic medicine it is SAFE (unlike orthodox medicine, which is always less or more toxic) - you take homeop. medicine, and if does not work, then try another one with no or very, very minor and temporary side effects.
But read some GUIDELINES how to take it to make it work - eg. min 30 min away from meals, no caffeine, no citrus food etc.
For you as a DOCTOR - to use the homeop. medicine shall be EASIER and you shall find a proper one for yourself QUICKER then people like me with no medical generic knowledge.
Have a look at eg. ABC thread called :
'staphylococcus aureus, please help!' and my reply there:

Just a feedback.
For over a month and I am all hoping that it will work.. the BRYONIA 30C did nothing but frustration.
Thanx guys. Maybe these homeopathy stuff are for psychological issues rather than real illnesses.
And we used to say that if you have a cold, it usually last a week. But if you took medicines (now including this homeopaths), it will take seven days to clear.

COLDS: And actually taking homeopathic medicine helps A LOT when treating eg. colds or flu especially if taken at the first signs of the illness. For example almost all of our friends are having a flu now most of them for ~ 2 or more weeks now. And our family had it also but for 1 to 2 days only !!! We treated all our family with oscillococcinum (6 doses pack costs ~ $9 US) - http://www.ritecare.com/homeopathic/guide_oscillococcinum.as.... immediately when the symptoms occurred. My wife was in bed for 1 day, I was for ~ 4 hrs and my child was for ~ 2 days.
OTOSCLEROSIS: You are a bit inpatient. I suffer from the similar condition as you and I keep trying. And homeopathic remedies are safe and very cheap when compared to chemical junk. And homeopathy DOES work - I commented that on my previous REPLIES. Please remember about these 2 issues:
- you have to take a proper remedy (BRYONIA did not work for you, so try the next one - top the best of your knowledge; remember that homeopathic remedies have little or no side effects)
- your problem has a chronic nature, therefore do not expect instant cure

2. Potency - is it 30 C ?
3. What is the dosage / pattern for taking it ?
