Hi there folks, and thanks for the nice message, Kevin!
Well, yesterday I didn't have a needle after being in pain constantly for 4 days with resurging hyperacusis and I tried every which way I could think of to aleviate it.
Finally I managed to get the swelling to go down with enchinacea and frozen food bags!
This morning when I woke up, the pain is subsiding and I can now turn my head without pain, which is a relief.
My perception of sound still isn't correct. You know how when someone scrapes their nails on a chalkboard? well, every time DD4 speaks to me, it grates like that, so I've been asking her to whisper when she talks to me.
Everything is on LOUD. It's like someone turned the volume up on the world.
I expect my perception will return to normal in a few days, now the pain is settling down. But it's such good news because I was panicking I'd be stuck with this earache for years!
Other news: I was supposed to be taking DD4 to a country park today but they cancelled it because the weather is bad, so that's a shame. It's a good job I couldn't take my other DD's or they would have been disappointed. I am taking her to 'Planet Happy' children's play centre, next week instead.
My book now has ISBN numbers!
Softcover: ISBN 1-59344-116-9. Hardcover: ISBN 1-59344-117-7.
It's at the press now being made, so you still can't buy one yet, though
