Darn tinnitus has kept me up all night. Not a wink of sleep.

Which reminds me, the pillow biter test of "what if I / we do?" is "what if I / we dont, and the other side does? Will I / we really lose nothing?"

My brain tunes out my tinnitus most of the time, but if I notice it when I'm trying to sleep, it can ruin the night...

I find having soft music or ambient noise playing, so I have a sound to focus on, helps greatly. :)

I use a variety of things. But last night I couldn't find my hearing aid noise-blaster (which the govt kindly paid for) and that in fact was just what I needed.

I ended driving 15km away about 5am to MacDonalds for a coffee (and a smoke) in sheer bloody frustration. Ive had mebbe 5hrs or so sleep. Im running a large sleep deficit at the moment.

E. The whining treble of waking birds and cars zooming past on the highway next to the Maccas carpark made things much worse. I drove home more frustrated. Such is real life.
 
I have to laugh, being sleepless makes me frustrated and slower, this raises my blood pressure, I try to make up for lost conxentration by forcing it using caffeine and nicoteine -> both make the tinnitus worse. When the tinnitus is bad -> it further intensifies the pain of my rheumatoid athritis -> further interfering with my concentration.

Several negative feedback loops running in concert. And, the tinnitus is the whining treble variations - eh, not good for my autistic hearing sensitivity - it makes it hard to think, even visually at times.

Now tho, I prefer to think in acronym sets and formulas - I can get and juggle those in less than 2.5 seconds - before the next major tinnitus pulse interference.

God knows, my slow heartbeat probably helps. That is, makes the pulsing whine slower than if I had a normal (30 beats faster) heartrate.
 
I'll need to start taking vitamin D3 again, to seeif that helps. I had to stop taking it before, even though it reduced some of the noise of my pulsatile tinnitus, and it did reduce my athritis pain by about 50%.

I thought for a while there I might recover normal health again - from those two conditions - the ra and tinnitus caused by other people literally by accident (not intention). Incompetent environments are a darn nuisance - especially when they inflict injury on people minding their own business, and as result, everyone who depends on them to be well.

I think I mentioned the D3 before - one of its unwanted side effects (despite the good ones that I still really need) was it made me think of s*x, and be motivated to seek it out, without my consent or control over feeling that I actually wanted or needed it. It utterly messed with my sleep and ability to think straight. I had to quit using it quicksmart.

This time I will try a smaller dose, and maybe, just mebbe, I might get back some health improvements without the side effects.

Frankly, Im having considerable difficulty being able to walk, again. Worse much than Ive been in a few months. My legs are twisting automatically (at the knees) as I try to get up and down the stairs, which I really cant now get up or down without a tight grip on both the handrail and the wall.

Sorry you didnt manage to get much sleep RxR.

Makea my complaint of having a really weird dream pale in comparison!

Hahaha! Im glad someone is having a happier time of it actually. I just bought milk for coffee and tobacco to calm my weary brain. Who could grudge a dying man that?
 
After two years of asking my Google Home what the bedroom temperature is and it reading the temperature from my Nest, it's now randomly started to give me a definition of a bedroom :mad:

I don't think I've ever owned a more consistently dumb smart device.
 
And i'm still looking at cars. I've currently got a fairly pushy salesmen at Mercedes doing my head in.

He sent me a spec of one car they have which fits what i'm looking for, when i asked how much it was he's just given me a monthly price. I couldn't give a crap about that. Well i do care about that, but i also want to know how much it's actually going to cost me and what the % APR is!

Malicious compliance, ask him if it's for 6 months :D

Sadly that's what most people care about "how much is it going to cost me each month and how long do I have to have it for?" nobody cares about equity any more.
 
Yeah it's annoying.

Not even any mention of a balloon at the end.

At the moment he's just said 5k deposit and 48 months of £590 which if i assume a balloon of £19k is correct (this was what a previous figure was based on), then it's working out around £52k which is an absolutely terrible deal!
