      I can't believe I got COVID without leaving my house more than 1, maybe twice per month. My mom got sick and we share the kitchen/bathroom:(

      I can't believe all fever medicine is ototoxic. Acetaminophen/paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, dextromethorphan... Boy am I a lucky guy.

      My body temperature rn is 100F(38.1C) and I feel awful. Can't taste anything. Finally got COVID after 4 years. No change in T/H tho..

      Took off my headphones for 22 seconds and my mom dropped a vase 5 meters away from me. No comments. I can't live with a live person. Like...

        That's just how it is living with "roommates." It was the same living with a roommate as well as now with family. You can be prepared for your own accidents but it's impossible to be ready for other people's.

        I mainly stay in my bedroom. With my roommate I had a bedroom and an office that was decked out with couch and home theater, and I just stayed in there.

        Whenever I do leave the confines of my own space, it's always with earplugs. Helps keep me safe.

      I am just in shock. Today's day completely killed trust in doctors. I just wanted to get gabapentin and pregabalin, but that's impossible...

      I can't believe I was trusting doctors when I was a kid. It's bizarre how much they don't know. They actually know 2-4% of what I know.Crazy

      My ENT specialist doesn't know what hyperacusis, noxacusis, tonic tensor tympanii syndrome are. I'm shocked.She said I don't have nerve pain

        My neighbours washer leaked into my apartment now I have the maintenance guy coming a bunch to put the dehumidifier and do repairs. I hate living in an apartment. When it was leaking I went up to tell her to shut it off and she lied to my face and said she wasn’t doing laundry. The water was soapy and smelled like detergent.

        After investigation I came to the conclusion that the vibration comes from their refrigerator and not dishwasher. Looks like they got a new fridge or it's the old one that got broken. One of the 2. Anyway I hope they will do something about it

      I love fleeting tinnitus. Happens once in a blue moon but it feels so great to not hear ringing for 2-5 seconds. It's so euphoric

      Called 7 neurologists and no one works with nerve pain related to noxacusis or ear spasms (TTTs). I just want 10 capsules of gabapentin...

        You can't approach it like that. Just go in talking about where your pain is and what it is. I was "diagnosed" with trigeminal neuralgia and even said I think it's from my ears but the neurologist said that is impossible (eye roll) but still gave me a med to try.

      I wonder what ppl with catastrophic T do when their sleep meds stop work so now they can't sleep at all...Do they sleep once every 2 nights?
      1. RunningMan

        It varies. Some people seem to be able to sleep anyway. Some sleep meds help. Best to avoid benzos and Mirtazapine because they stop working leaving you even worse off due to tolerance and dependency.

        My brain just sort of blacks out. I don't "fall asleep" really. It's like a trauma response. It's also the best part of my day and my entire life.

        Hi @streifzug ! Thanks. I think I feel better now. Probably it finally calmed down to my almost usual level. I can hear my T everywhere expect the shower, so I think I'm back to my normal again lol

      Tinnitus is 10/10 instead of my normal 7/10. Be careful with ADHD meds guys. Everything was always alright but today 10 mg of dex spiked T..

        Hi @ECP, the dogs. Many people are allowing their dogs bark there overnight. They bark at pedestrians, leaves, and cats. My current neighbor is letting their dogs bark on the balcony from 5am to 7am. 4 days a week. I can't live like this :( No balconies/patios means no dogs at night and early morning! Can't believe I was able to find the ONLY apartment complex without balconies. In a city of 400K...ugh

        Your landlord shouldn't be letting the dogs bark so much, but it's a moot point now that you've planned your escape. Congratulations on the new place!

        Dogs don't care about what neighbors or landlords think. And their owners don't seem to care. They bark all the time.
