Chit Chat and All That...

[Shera]

Ha love these pics mate.

Yeah I suppose I'm lucky in that way but the multi tones are always there except for those few hours a week. Have no idea why it does this, kept a diary and everything trying to figure it out haha but I suppose thats the unpredictable way of the beast known as T. So hard to get a handle on it due to the constant change....

That sucks man, I'm sorry. You know what I'm hopeful you will get back to it one day, especially with H, that has a chance to heal itself as I've read many stories of that on here. Do you take anything to try and help or tried anything?

I tried that journal thing too. Even gave up coffee for 3 whole months It's just too crazy. When the volume spikes or lowers, and when all the crazy tones come or go. Chaos symphonies in our heads. (If your unlucky.)

Now I just try to have safe ear protection and nobody gets between me and coffee. Especially T.

 

[Shera]

Oh, thanx for the tips Elmer. I have 8 Ameraucanas and 4 white roosters. (mean they are... haha)
Love the fresh eggs. We've been raising them for about 6 years now.

Fun! I always wanted to try Ameraucanas for they colorful eggs. I know this one chicken lady who breads them so that there are about 5 different color layers. It's impressive.

I love my silkies too much. They're calm little sweeties.

My tones are constantly there except for a few hours a week which is so random, it's the erratic behaviour of the tones that I can't seem to get a handle on, it's like they try to compete with each other and it's gets too much... but it is what it is eh oh and the lack of sleep I tried no the coffee things as well, didn't do anything for me at all so went back to drinking it like yourself ha

I loved the 90s X-Men cartoon haha that was a classic. Haven't watched any of the newer ones though, maybe I should give it a watch and see eh.

Sorry I haven't answered anyone for a couple of days but whatever is going on with these 3 new meds I'm a fuckin mess. Serious headaches and upset stomach then this morning after I was up sitting at the table half dressed I happened to notice my legs were red with rash, what the fuck? Then I take a peek my stomach area and arms red rash, and to make it all so much better the fucking tinnitus is screaming. A quick search of the meds and seems the culprit is Clopodogel, Monday to see the dr. He can shove them where the sun well you know. Medication me arse nothing cures, it just slowly kills you off.

That's not good, medication can be so dangerous when you take them but with T it can make things that much more dangerous. I'd definitely go the doctors mate, it's a reaction obviously especially the rash and nausea. Hope it gets sorted for you mate.

Thanks my friend, I was getting along real well being able to ignore the tinnitus but not now. It's never been this intrusive. Medical professionals need to learn more of what their so called miracle drugs do to people and why they cause tinnitus in 99% of people the bastards. I've not been this upset or pissed off in years.
Yep the dr. on Monday as much as I hate to go. The mrs. would just drag me in.

I know man, that's the problem everything we do or put into our bodies needs that bit more attention. I know it's said a lot and we don't really know but hopefully the current spike will go back to baseline for you and won't be permanent. I'm guessing the meds you are taking you need to? Speak to your doctor and go through things, you have to weigh up the pros and cons of the medication as unfortunately as much as I'm not a fan sometimes we need to take them.

I'm glad someone does

& I'm still hopeful too, despite this monster. I've read about and spoken to many people who recovered from H, but extreme cases like myself don't happen very often. Only time will tell, I guess. I've tried about everything one can try for H, unfortunately, to no avail.

I was sitting on the couch at 4:30 this morning, sipping chamomile tea, so this made me laugh out loud, Jcb.

Mines 24/7 so I always think it might be nice to have a few hours of quiet, but that might be like hopeful torture. *hugs* Oh, I get you. I'm still catching up from the severe insomnia that I had the first 2 years of the severe T. I might suggest hibiscus tea to help you get to sleep. I know the insomnia helped to totally wreck me. Total personality change and how I think.

Ah! One of my all time faves is that X-men cartoon. I have them on DVD and love rewatching them. I'm really enjoying the new Harley Quinn on Netflix right now! I hope this means there will be more DC cartoon originals!

Yep. They do this to my mom all the time. She gets worse than her original symptoms. So far diet changes and natural remedies help. Though the last time they tried to put her on some drugs it made her tinnitus worse. The doctors are like, "oh, yeah. Everyone who has gone on this so far has complained about Tinnitus or it making their tinnitus worse. It's not that bad a side affect." I always say I wouldn't wish this on anyone . . . but sometimes I think doctors just need to know what severe tinnitus is like.

Yeah they need to go 6 months without the tinnitus dropping to a baseline. They don't care. I've complained so many times may as well be talking to the cat.

Well my man I'm hopeful for you, you a good guy with a good head on your shoulders, plus you share my weird obsession with owls and birds HA.
Great pics again.

Well how the bleep are you Emma, it's soo good to her from you. I'm glad you had a chuckle ha how's life been treating you?

Im sure I've tried hibiscus tea?? Is the one that tastes like death haha
I agree, I used to love that series, it's how I got into X-Men. I've seen a trailer of that, might give that a watch as well. I've seen a few DC animated films, they are good.

 

[jimH]

plus you share my weird obsession with owls and birds HA.

Yeah,...as a matter of fact, me and my friend Sam are beginning to wonder about you two........

Sam does look very judgemental especially with that multi coloured moustache and his 80s cowboy look

I am doing well, Jcb, thanks.

This thread has given me many chuckles this afternoon, thanks to you and the rest of the "gang."

Coffee, books and chocolate.
Go!

Chocolate, chocolate and chocolate....

@Jcb Well I can't say no to another Mulan fan. My neighbor is obsessed with her. Every time she comes to visit she's like, "Where's Mulan." Even my grandfather's wife is obsessed with her and she does not like cats. It was fate that we ended up getting her. I wanted a cat for Cinder and Mulan was just prancing across the yard of a neighbor's further down the way, they have tons of cats. She came right up to me when we stopped and I took her home that day.

Mulan is extraordinarily beautiful! My gosh, her eyes and her coat are gorgeous.

Yep! So far we have 3 different colors and most are double yoke's!

that first pic is how I look when I try to take a selfie .....

I wouldn't be shocked if it was me that told you to try it! It's bitter, but if you mix it with a good peppermint/camomile it helps. Or a dab of honey. I just liked that it got me to sleep. Death tea is right though. I chugged it last night without anything and I forgot how bitter it was.

It was an excellent gateway to the franchise. It's been great. Though I think it's a binge worthy one because waiting for the HQ releases has been annoying.

Thank you! She's my dream kitty and I love her. (Typing this as she snuggles my feet.)

Double yolks are so fun! Just keep an eye out for skin eggs. You never realize how dangerous egg laying can be for those girls.

Thanks my man. I really appreciate it same to you!
I guarantee you I will fill your days (& @Star64) on Ttalk with many owls.
