No Show This Week (Patreon)

I woke up Monday with crippling tinnitus. Constant ringing in my head, louder than MY WIFE and ice hot stabbing pain. Excruciating. Really crazy stuff. I've always had a tiny bit of ringing in my ears from years of piano and radio and hearing loss, but this was something else. Even scritching my shirt with my finger nail would cause physical pain. TV was death. I learned to fear sound and spent the week on the floor of the studio in a fetal alcohol position with ear plugs in to escape it like a zoo animal, which ironically just amplified the ringing. Lol.

"How the fuck am I going to feed my son?"

If this happens to you, don't Google it. Don't Google anything. It's just Redditors all the way down.

Over the last 48 hours, it's improved considerably. The pain is mostly gone and the ringing
has diminished and bounces back and forth between ears like a head cold. As crazy as this sounds, I'm thinking and hoping it's "just allergies". But I didn't know allergies could do that. Apparently they can. At least that's what the gay doctor at Urgent Care told me for $30, and I cried for real for the first time in my life.

I'm hoping it continues to improve and as always, I appreciate the support!
