I should be making dinner right now.

But instead, I decided to take advantage of our shiny new internet. Ooh, aah. What a wonderful thing.

I went to the doctor last week because I seriously have a ringing in my ears that will NOT go away. After about four straight days of such, I went in to find that...

Well, the doctor didn't really find anything. I had a little bit of sinus drainage, but no ear pressure or infection. Bah, it's so frustrating when you have obscure symptoms. I went in for dizzy spells about six months ago, and they couldn't find anything wrong with me either. I think that I should stick to my mom's rule of thumb for doctor's visits-unless it's a fever or a missing limb, it'll be fine in a few days.

I seriously do hope this ringing goes away though. It's maddening, and I swear it switches ears to mess with me. Gah. It also makes me crabby. Very crabby. I don't like to be crabby, it interrupts my generally neutral mood.

tinitus, also known as ringing in your ears, can be caused by or worsened by many things. most commonly are things like caffeine, fatigue, colds and allergies (the congestion).

I have a knot in my right arch that makes me cry in the fetal position - and no one can seem to figure out how to make it go away. I hope you feel better soon. And Hazzah for shiny internet.

Do you work in a really loud environment? I know that can make your ears ring.
