Chit Chat and All That...

Men. :banghead: It was time to clean the heater in the bathroom and I like to be safe and turn off the breaker. So when I asked if it was on the same wiring blah-blah-blah. I was told it was. So when I got electrocuted there was a lot of back slapping and laughing. High fives of a prank well played. :mad: I was so pissed. Not only did they lie to me, but it didn't occur to them that it was 240volt. :confused:

My arm and elbow is still sending the occasional zings. Though the body spasms have quit. It was almost worth it. My T is still quieter than it has been in almost 3 years. :D

Though I might just be chipper because if you prank me I get even. View attachment 34894
In this cold weather . . . their cars won't start smelling for weeks. :joyful: It will be so subtle and hopefully a few months before they realize justice was served.

Wow that's pretty bad, do you have any burns or anything? Keep an eye on the "zings" I think a shock like that can do some serious damage do your body. If they haven't stopped I'd get your heart etc checked just to be safe. Good thing is your T is lower :cool: hope it stays like this for you or even better you wake up and it's gone. It'll be interesting to see if your T stays at the current volume after a few weeks??

:LOL: Nice, was it fish, fish oil.? They will be wondering if it's them that smells for weeks :ROFL: I like it haha that smell will linger for ages even after it's been cleaned haha it'll be burned in their nostrils haha

Can't afford a doctor. But everything seems okay. The zingers are getting less strong. I'm not too worried since the nerves there were recovering from a previous injuring and I just think the zap fired them off. I was however checking my pulse for a while.

Yes, cause I'm digging this quieter T. :X3:

You called it! A bit of my fish scraps I saved for the cats! The smell will linger much as my wraith. :ROFL:
 
@Jcb, you are a magnet for positive vibes, buddy. Anytime you're on this site the sun seems to temporarily shine out of everyone's ass. I think it's a testament to your character and what a great person you are.
 
I agree. @OnceUponaTime, I've literally rubbed a ton of that shit into my shoulders and it's never had any effect on my tinnitus. I would use it to take the edge off the pain if I were you.
@OnceUponaTime I definitely would try an anti-inflammatory creme as it is not the same as ingesting it. It should have no impact on your tinnitus and hopefully it will give you some relief.

If you can wear a bit of tubigrip on your elbow this may also give you some relief at night.

You should be able to buy this in the USA in a pharmacy.

Dare I try this??? :D. @Jcb you go first. :ROFL::ROFL:
 
If I may chime in, I've used both Diclofenac and Ibuprofen topical gel quite frequently in the past for chronic neck issues. I read that - unlike pills - it tends to remain on the surface, and only a fraction of topical gels actually reach the systemic circulation. It somewhat helped, but it seems to accumulate in the blood after several applications a day, ultimately spiking my T. I do think, however, that to what degree the gels reach the blood, most likely varies per body part... Highly vascularized tissue will absorb more than less vascularized tissue.
Hey, thank you for sharing your experience. Perhaps it spiked your tinnitus as you were applying it on your neck, closer to your ears?? Hmmm. Did the spike subsided??

Thanx Ed. I will give it a try. I have been taking Ibuprofen 400 twice a day for a bout a week now with no changes to my tinnitus. (Crossing fingers)

I finally had a good night sleep last night and today the pain is bearable. I have an appointment with the orthopedic doctor in 2 weeks. Sigh. I'm just letting my arm rest but, oh, man so hard typing with my left hand...and one finger!!! Bunkers!!!! Hahaha :LOL::ROFL:
 
The sunshine and blue skies without haze are definitely back in Melbourne ;)

Really glad to hear that, Star. That said, I feel so badly about the Aussie and three American fire fighters that have given their lives fighting those fires. Their poor families...:(

That's awful, I'm sorry about the doctor but hopefully you will be fine and your T will stay as low as it is now or go :)

:LOL: Love it, good old fish tastes delicious but smells like death :ROFL: that should reach them.

Cheers Ed, I have my moments ha ha. That's a really nice thing to say. You are a gent my man and helped me a lot so I'll be always be thankful for that :)

I think so. My cats keep begging "Where's the fish! There was more left!" But it's worth it. Looks like I'll have to go fishing again! :LOL:
