I'm also HLA-B27+ and have psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, occasional iritis, and fairly constant tinnitus. I'll be curious to see what you learn.

- ricardobeat 8y agoIf you wouldn’t mind, what is “HLA-B27+”?
- riahi 8y agoThe Human Leukocyte Antigen complex is a protein complex that immune cells use to determine self from non-self cells. There are many many many possible alleles, some of which are thought to be defective and contribute to auto-immune disorders. The most notorious (for medical students studying for standardized tests) is HLA-B27. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-B27 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-B27 Specifically, check out the section on disease associations.

- bagsvaerd70 8y agoI've heard from my doctor and from other patients about cases where some steroids helped or even resolved tinnitus completely. I'm currently investigating this option. In my case, years before my tinnitus onset, I started having a lot of discomfort on my right ear (my tinnitus is mostly one-sided, just like my floaters). Firstly, my right ear started getting clogged with wax really frequently. Then, I developed extreme sensitivity to cold. So, cold air would give me acute ear pain. Immediately before and after my tinnitus onset I had mild vertigo quite frequently. Ever since I developed tinnitus, my ear feels full and clogged.
