So I guess things are going OK at present, still have the noise in my head and annoyed at my Drs (specialist) staff as he told me to ring after seven day steroid course if buzzing was still there. Its still there! They said give it a little more time and I say how much more time do you want a day a week a month a year??? They say oh sorry we will check and check they do and come back and say two weeks because you have said its been two weeks on steroids and I said well no….its been a week that was all he prescribed. Oh he never would do that says the staff member, and I said that’s what he did. They continued and said well get the bottle and read it, I said I checked it with the pharmacist and they said if you could just read it out then all will be settled. Fuck…I said I am blind wait and I will get my 10 year old to read it…oh sorry that’s right she says I forgot…yep fair enough. Shit shit shit

So now wait another 2 weeks.

Have to go in for work tomorrow as haven’t been there for 2 weeks, all good on a brand new contract isn’t it?

So apart from the run of the mill frustrations things have been OK. Catching up with some friends on the weekend, going to see the Swannies against the Tigers on Sunday.

Missing DBT this week, chose work over it, I know the facilitators will not be happy with me but I am doing what I want and need to do, my choice.

How am I feeling, a bit empty (lacking connection) a bit angry (frustrated) and a bit OK. I can feel the black dog though at my toes just trying to come back but I am attempting my mindful meditation and it is working to an extent, keeping it all at bay.

That’s all folks

Hi Liz! Don't know if you kow but steroids make one pretty hyper and aggressive and hungry and sleepless. Funny with all my tests each person says no we keep the results, but the the next Doctor expects you to have those results, or know where they are..it's a real drag how they do things. And I hate it too how they deny your own experience, I had to repeat myself so many times in Hospital because of people disbelieving what another staff person had told me, it was wearing and I felt like screaming but I didn't. Feeling like screaming was bad enough though.
Hope work is ok tomorrow,talk soon.

Hi Liz,

I understand your frustration at the specialists staff, I would have gone banana's!! Hopefully the noise in your head starts to ease off soon.

I'll be tipping the Swans to beat the Tigers, so they'd better get up so I get my 2 points!!

Feeling a bit like you at the moment too, a bit unconnected and down, but fighting like hell to keep my head above water.

Take care,

Not sure what to write - tears again. I can't believe the medical staff were like that - hello they are the ones that are giving you the advice/information yet they don't remember things like you are visually impaired. That sux big time.

Maple is probably right with the information she has provided you on steroids. If it is necessary and you are worried about the steroids go and see the doctor.

Gyps is right, some people just have tinuitus - a friend of mine has it and there was no reason for him getting it.

Chin up!!!

Go Keller!!!
