Life's ups and downs.

I haven't posted for a while but still check in often to see how people are getting on. As for me, I still have Hyperacusis in one left ear and T in the right. It was really good to hear about the guy whose T left after 10 years. That gives hope to all of us.

I am in the process of changing from Pregabilin to Gabipentine. They ENT says that it may help with the secondary effects. Anyway, life goes on.

I feel sorry for the people who can't sleep at night. I know that when I go to bed I lie there thinking "How can I sleep with this noise?" Next thing my alarm is going off. Sleep is a great relief after a noisy "T" day.

I have had to change a lot of things in my life because of T. I suppose a lot of you are in the same boat. The thing I really struggle with is "grumpiness". No matter how hard I try I find that I am grumpy with people close to me. They understand but it is not fair on them. Some days it is hard to find things to laugh about when your head feels like it is going to pop.

Anyway, I wish you all well in cyber-land. Good luck on your journey.
