Hello Pals, Goodness gracious, I can’t believe it’s been two years already! Figured I’d pop back here to update you all on my case. When they say it can take years for your ears to fully recover from a noise exposure They really mean it. Over the past year I’ve continued to slowly and steadily...

I am past two weeks from my second dose of Pfizer. I had soreness at the injection site and took Magnesium for the first couple days in anticipation of muscle stiffness. Other than that I had no side effects or impact on my ears, I’m relieved to be through this process.

The COVID-19 vaccine was actually created using a technology that took decades of research to develop and had already been in clinical trial for vaccination against cancer for years.

@Steph1710, I’m so sorry to hear you’re stuck at such an uncomfortable impasse in your relationship. I only have experience with short term relationships (more trash fire than true love lol), but I still feel for you. Unfortunately there isn’t a super graceful way to end things when a...

I think people like to live in this pretend world where the mind and body are separate and in fact the condition of the body has no impact on the mind (but, at the same time, a bad mindset is why you are so sick you negative Nancy/Nathan). I am habituated, and I’d love to say it was from my...

If your issue is TMJD you need to actually treat your joint problem to improve your symptoms. TMJ issues can often be managed successfully with simple daily stretches. Your orthodontist should be able to refer you for this sort of care. Good luck!

I had a friend who would snack on Flintstone's vitamins when his parents weren't around! I always wanted to, but I wouldn't dare lol.

My Dad told me that back in his day they used to pour Tang powder into a bottle of vodka to drink at university parties lol.

2 Week Update: All soreness/stiffness/intense thirst has passed. Tinnitus seems to be as it was, I think I was checking for it more after vaccination which made it seem more intrusive. Weirdly my bad ear has felt less sensitive since my first dose, who knows what’s up with that. I will...

Tuscany is so beautiful! I did a semester in Italy and it was so fantastic, I had such a blast learning about Italian art and drawing from it. It was in my pre-hyperacusis life, so I got to enjoy a couple of loud nights of clubbing :p. I hope I can go back some day!

Are you a spike, because I can no longer imagine my life without u <3
