I've had tinnitus from heck today so I've done nothing but watch videos about Daniel Mullins games.

Okay, I also did some organizing on my current projects (Weird West Comic, Kaniac Pins) and photowalked... but overall it's like how is Saturday over? I have not done things. I didn't even watch that many videos, it's like the day had a time skip.

Walking usually fixes my back and lowers and my stress which causes the tinnitus to go away or at least chill. That didn't really happen, so my walk was a short one. Just about 2 hours.

I've now had a beer and two CBD gummies and my ear is still going 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'

Sounds to me like you did a lot!

Tinnitus is so annoying! I always have TV or music on in the background now, to distract me. I didn't do anything on Saturday at all, a: because I can barely move due to back pain, and b: my brain was offline. I wish I got some relief from CBD, but unfortunately, It's never done much for me.

My headaches and tinnitus are usually related to something being screwy with my upper back, right below where back becomes neck. Usually about 1/3rd of a beer will magically fix that for a bit, but I don't like using beer as a fix. I usually have one drink a week while doing group gaming activities.

Sorry your back's been so painful.

I'm not sure why I have tinnitus, but on a list of medical issues, it's at the bottom so I just deal with it. Too bad beer doesn't work, that would be great! My back problems are lower, sciatica-type.

[olivermoss]

Yeah, it is handy that a beer can help I just want to be careful with that for reasons.

[mxcatmoon]

Ah, understood. Sucks when the 'cure' has it's own issues.

There's a lot of alcoholics in my family. I've never even come close to having a problem, but I am very careful and follow strict rules for consumption just in case.

[mxcatmoon]

Wise. I drank a bit too much in my youth, but these days most of the time I just can't be bothered.

[olivermoss]

Oh, I love a good beer or cider. That's part of why I am careful :)

Tinnitus is awful. I don't have it TOO constantly, but there was a span of six months where yawning/blowing my nose, or otherwise getting the pressure just 'right' made my ears make a noise that to me sounded *exactly* like construction vehicle reverse beeping. It was bizarre.

Usually it's just the obnoxious eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for a while, but I'm lucky it never seems to stick around more than an hour or two at a go.

I had it bad for a while, but these days it's mostly ignorable. This weekend it just decided to suck.

I've had it stick around for weeks at a time.

[mistressofmuses]

Ugh, weeks is super miserable. I definitely hope it decides to go away much more quickly this time around.

[olivermoss]

It's still there, but the volume is way lower. It's at a level I can deal with at least.

[mistressofmuses]

I'm glad it's at least improved.
