Other reasons for my silence

I have no peace about my health. I realize that is because I still worry about it, but I cannot help but feel that there is more to this than just my APS. I know I should not worry, but I do it anyway, which only makes me worry more, when that realization hits. Silly Melly…

Anyway, my ears have been ringing since, July 07, 2007. Nonstop. Nothing I do stops it. I cannot even mask it with other noises. It is ALWAYS there.

On top of that, my hearing in my right ear is coming and going. If there is any background noise, at all, you need to be right in front of me, like at least three feet, and I have to be able to see you. I do not know the connection between sight and hearing, but really. I can hear you better if I can see  you. I hate wearing my glasses at work, but I almost have to so that I can hear everybody, because there is a LOT of background noise, in the mall.

Between the ringing and the hearing, I am loosing my mind.

I asked my Dr about it. At first she said it was the asprin. Well, the ringing started before I started taking the asprin, so it cannot be that. She took me completely off caffeine, she said for “a few days”. I stayed off for almost a week. No change. I am now limiting myself to one caffeinated drink a day.

Anyway, no answer. I guess I will have to go to an ENT for it, but I do not really want to go to another Dr right now, but I will if I have to.

I am very moody and irritable with the ringing in my ears, so I have been silent.
