I thought I had already been through the searching, hoping, and experimenting. But no, hope springs eternal.
After a health scare two years ago, I became interested in tracking my sleep with a wearable device (an inexpensive Fitbit). I have seen how sleep changes as a result of sleep hygiene, exercise, diet, and exposure to light. I also lost forty pounds along the way.
Then, this winter, all of my prior strategies for distracting myself or accepting reality fell apart, and I cycled through the same angst I experienced in the early days. I no longer take pharmaceutical medications and use supplements instead. My philosophy is that each day is a new day. Find the joy, do something new, and stop procrastinating.
In 2017, I crossed the threshold from barely hearing to deafness, endured surgery to implant a cochlear device, and have had daily pain ever since. I am looking for a place to learn, vent, and connect with others who understand.
