Chit Chat and All That...

No eye doctors yet.

I'm seeing lots of doctors these days, lol.

Ear Doctors, Mind Doctors, General Practice Doctors!

Eh. Nobody ever said life would be easy. I just wish it was happening when I was 50 and not 21. *shrug*

Preach! I lost the last 4 years of my twenties to Tinnitus. :blackeye:
 
Harely Quinn looks great but I just don't care about the DC Universe app enough.

It'll probably end up on HBO Max though, so I'll catch it then.

HBO Max is gonna have tons of great animation. Adventure Time, Regular Show, Samurai Jack, and most importantly....All The Studio Ghibli movies.

Ah, my beloved Ghibli. I own everything I want so I don't have to worry.

I keep trying to get into Adventure Time and can't make it past the first season. Everyone says I should love it, but it's boring.
 
Yup I think my teens and Uni years were well..... a bit of a haze hahaha
I could tell you stupid stories mate haha I honestly don't know how I survived sometimes :eek:

There is always consequences to our actions and unfortunately sometimes those consequences are life changing. We can only try and not let that anger and guilt take over and eat away at what sanity we have left.
I'm sorry man, I feel so helpless with you stuck in your little prison, all I can do is chat nonsense with you and post AMAZING pictures of birds and stuff haha I do know Hazel just did an interview with Dr. Rick Kopke and Justin DeMoss so hopefully there will be some good news there. Have you been able to introduce any sounds yet or are your ears still way too sensitive?

edit: Oh and my new found love of the last airbender as well, can't forget that now!!
Chatting nonsense and sharing bird pics with you people here is a great part of my day, thank you!

Definitely. Especially high school. Growing in the Marijuana capital of the world didn't really help me being a responsible teenager. The word 'haze' has a double meaning here :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

What about the interview with Kopke and Demoss? I haven't seen it (yet).

Hmm. My ears can be really unpredictable... I guess my sound intolerance and ear pain improved slightly over the months, but it seems as though I might've 'invented' somatic hyperacusis (if that wasn't a thing already). I can aggravate my hyperacusis ear pain with many neck movements (e.g. turning head left and right). These pain attacks can be really incapacitating. As in, wanting to lie down in fetal position and beg for mercy incapacitating. Ugh.

I was actually kind of surprised to find other Airbender lovers on the forum, but I'm glad I did hehe.

Adventure Time starts out as typical gag a day show. The story gets more prominent as it goes on, but it's mostly gag a day stuff for the first two seasons or so. I suggest maybe finding a reccomended/required viewing list somewhere.

For all it's faults, it really made long term storytelling in children's animation popular. Didn't perfect it like Avatar, but without Adventure Time I doubt we would have great shows like Gravity Falls and Hilda.

Also Marceline is one of the best characters put on TV.

I get you. Neck and jaw make the T monster go cray-cray. Though I joke that just breathing air wrong sets it off.

You'd be surprised how wide spread The Last Airbender is. People I would have never guessed liking the show do. Whenever I use to wear my old Avatar shirt I'd get a ton of people fangir/boying out! I need to design another one.

You design shirts? Do you have a website?

I need to watch Avatar again. I haven't seen it since it's first run when I was a little boy. I remember loving it. Watched a few episodes of Korra wasn't able to keep track because of life stuff. Maybe I'll pick up the boxset one of these days.

I do design shirts, but for me personally. I keep thinking I should put them up online though. I did a "No Shelf Control" design that I really like and I get a ton of comments on. I get stopped by people all the time so they can see all the fan references I put in.

I need a rewatch too. I watched the whole thing when I bought the boxset, but haven't watched it since. Ah, Korra was real hard to watch when it was airing. The network shot themselves in the foot. At least they released it in a super cheap and lovely DVD set.

Here's the shirt I made if anyone is interested:

Hey, there's a song about your bottom....sort of.:p
Soggy Bottom Boys- I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
Hahaha, I went to see them in concert at the Carnegie Hall in NYC some years ago... They were in tour for the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou." It was extremely fun... Had a chance to see Alison Krauss. :)

Ha I haven't the faintest idea what you could be possibly talking about when you say "haze" has a double meaning ;)

The interview isn't up yet, might be good news or at least something interesting or nothing but thought I would tell you just in case.

That's crazy, I haven't heard of that before but H is less researched than T so I wouldn't be surprised at all. That sounds horrible man, so sorry. Kind of feel like you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. We are all rooting for you, I know it's just words but at the moment that's all we can do.

It's incredibly frustrating. I'm glad the T spikes are temporary.

That's pretty great btw. Can I see the design?

Oi. We'll see then. I need some good news.

Thanks for the support mate. It may just be words, but it's really nice to hear nonetheless.
 
Ugh. No matter what, I always wake up after 12:00 PM. That's what I get for working nights. :sleep:

Ha, that's your morning routine then haha

Yes man, we all could do eh. Let's see what the future holds eh, I'm forever optimistic that something will be here for us, It's looks more promising than ever even if it's to reduce the volume, sensitivity etc. Time frame though, that's tough.

Finished season 2 of Korra, ok I'm starting to enjoy it, I take back what I said about her being less spiritual. I really enjoyed the story of Wan, and Iroh so happy to see him. Looking forward of starting season 3 now. Also the animation looks even better as well.

I've never worked nights but form I hear it messes up your body clock, take the sleep where you can get it man.

Hey, Lab. So sorry you are going through this. I had hyperacusis twice and on both occasions, it went away in about 2 months. I used to take 2 ibuprofens and apply cold compressions behind my ear and on my earlobes when I had pain, burning sensation and discomfort. This helped me much.
Does every sound bothers you or just some?

Wake 'n bake used to be my routine, haha! I no longer endulge in illicit substances ;)

I agree, mate. I, too, shall remain optimistic and hopeful about novel treatments that will at least alleviate some of our suffering. It'll come, someday soon :)

I know right! The story with Wan and the harmonic convergence was incredible. And Ihro, of course, if anyone deserved a come back in Korra, it's definitely the one and only Ihro.

@Labyrinthine oh you also changed your picture, another fancy one eh.....
Why thank you, good sir. It's probably the only picture I have in my lab coat, hehe.

Thank you very much, Once. I appreciate the advice. Unfortunately, my ear pain doesn't react to ibuprofen. Surprisingly, even oxycodon doesn't help. I've been applying cold packs for some time now; it does help a bit.

At present, any sound bothers me. My discomfort levels are virtually zero. I'm particularly sensitive to digital sounds from speakers, phones, TVs, etc. I've been living in one those audiometric cabins you can find in the audiologist office (for hearing tests), and even then, I have to wear ear plugs 24/7. The cabin is an excellent substitute for ear muffs, though. I wore muffs the first 4 months after onset of extreme H but had to stop because my neck couldn't take it anymore. Oh well.
