Journal Entry for February 15, 2008 Mood
Friday, February 15, 2008

Had a meltdown today over my T. and the lack of sleep for the last two weeks. My Sister took me to the E.R. because my family Dr. is out for another 2 weeks and I can't get in to see an E.N.T. until Tuesday.  E.R.  Dr. gave me a RX for valium. Hate taking any mind altering drugs.

I took valium 20 years ago for awhile when my T. first started. Seems like it helped then.But

what do I do when I can't mask the noise at night now that it's louder enough to sleep? You

have to sleep some. Why are there so many people with T? It's a cruel and unusual punishment. Why can some people cope better with it than others? Why?

    sleep is key! try an ipod or walkman or crank the fan loud, Im with you on meds, but you have to sleep,I was taking otc sleep meds, and still wasnt sleeping but 3hrs, then I got the nuerominics and it does help with sleep. T is a bastard of an affliction. and I think most people with it, are paniced, some are just better at hideing it.

    I use ambien to take me into sleep or I just hear the loud noise. It's gotten louder and stressing me. I play with my ears all the time. Just shut UP!
