    They got it just right with the first Mega Man X I think. The difficulty and flow of the game is perfect. I've only ever beaten the second one of the classic games. I bought 1 - 4 many years ago, but the Yellow Devil in the first game made me rage quit, haha.

    Warning for People with Noxacusis: For the Love of God, Protect Your Ears!

    This is the longest lasting setback I've ever had. Usually the pain lasts for 2 - 5 days, and now it's been over two weeks. Maybe I'm slightly better than a week ago, but it's very minor. Have you seen any improvement yet? You are really strong and brave for living with this, it is one of the...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    I managed to get a prescription for Prednisolone today. I took 30 mg about 8 hours ago and I'm feeling like shit right now. I think my tinnitus is louder (I already had a spike) and there are so many tones... Also have pretty bad anxiety. Is it common to get louder tinnitus at the start of...

    Fair points. I've only played X2 and X3 once, and I did it back to back so they are like one unit in my memory. Will replay some day. Have you played anything after X4? From what I've seen I don't think I will bother.

    Thanks for all the information. I'm still not better and I'm in a really bad place right now. Some days I wake up almost without pain but all it takes to set it off again is a quick shower or talking to someone for a few minutes. How long have your minor setbacks lasted generally? I stayed at...

    Now playing: Live A Live (Switch) RPG by Square originally released exclusively in japan in 1994 for the Super Famicom. Here it is remade in the same beautiful art style as Octopath Traveler (they call it HD-2D) with added voice overs. It's a really interesting and unique game where you play...

    Haha, that is some dedication. I think the best I did was something like lvl 93 fletching. Who knows, maybe I bought some of your million yew logs? :cool: No X3? :eek:

    Thanks for your reply, it means a lot. I don't know if I would be comfortable doing acupuncture on myself, but I will look into DMSO and Magnesium. Where exactly do you apply the oil? I just tried putting a hot water bottle to my ear, and I think it changed one of my tinnitus tones. Odd.

    Prednisone Made My Tinnitus Worse :(

    Did the Prednisone help your hyperacusis or ear pain at all? I'm on the fifth day of worsened pain and sound sensitivity and was thinking if it would be worth a try. Really scared that this is becoming the new normal.

    Warning for People with Noxacusis: For the Love of God, Protect Your Ears!

    After multiple minor noise incidents last week I'm having pain in my bad ear that is far beyond my usual burning sensation. It feels like it's coming from deep inside the ear and I feel pain in my face and even my arm on that side. It is really really horrible. It's been near constant for four...

    @Steph1710 I think I have read that you have Pulsatile Tinnitus as well. How is it going with that? I hear my blood flow really loud in the ears as soon as my pulse goes up. Also annoying but not as much as regular Tinnitus.

    @Steph1710 Since Saturday, and it does come and go for me also. Yesterday it was near constant the whole day, and today I woke up in the morning without it. Sorry it hasn't subsided for you yet. It really is annoying…

    What the hell are these bird chirping sounds in my head?! It sounds exactly like birds. Anyone else have experienced that?

    That is one, Frigid Outskirts is another... At least I liked the bosses. Black Gulch is not fun either, but thankfully it is very short. I think I'm done with Dark Souls 2 now. All bosses are defeated. Don't think I will bother with New Game+. If Dark Souls 1 is a 10/10, I give this a 8/10...

    Favourite Video Games?

    I have finished the game now and I can see why it's the least popular. There are some really cool areas and there are some that are really, really frustrating. Many bosses go down too easily and often I didn't get the same satisfaction that I remember from the first Dark Souls when beating a...
