@BoscoPikoI normally turn my mobile off and unplug the landline phone .No more ringing

Kiss of death around here..... Much rather take a cussing.

I have Tinnitus, so ringing is daily. Mine is caused by living in a house with an elder who was very hard of hearing and refused hearing aids. His 'old ones' did not work well, so he was not wanting to use them at all nor invest in more expensive ones!!! And he was old, so the tube was his sole entertainment for the last several years of his life. 16 hours a day of your house blasting TV worse than a depressed teen, with a play list, will destroy your hearing. So, no help at all. So sorry! But, getting up nightly with an ailing pet gets nerve wracking. Been there! You are so concerned for them, but after a while, you get concerned for yourself too! Only a few weeks to go Bosco, and that nightmare will be over. Then you can rest and relax for a change. You have earned it too! I look forward to seeing Abby all healed and walking on all fours!! That means that you are getting well earned better quality sleep! Praying for you and Abby sweetie. I'm really southern, so sweetie is a compliment!

Now look what you've done @BoscoPiko

Escorting a dog with a leg cast outside in atmospheric river style flooding at 3am every night, and that's just for tip of iceberg starters? Wow, will you be overjoyed when the flooding clears and Abby heals - just hang on a bit longer! The best of results to you with tonight's seeds bust! I get random ear ringings year round, in or out of cycle, so, I got nuthin' to offer in that dept., sorry.

Thank you Spiny! Now that I know your southern I will only be concerned if you say "Bless your Heart"

LOL there he is.. Nice and quippy

My last attack (a while back thank God) started directly after a piercing ear ringing in my CH sided ear. I thought it was happenstance but did a quick search on here and it seems I am not the only one? I've been doing fairly good during these past 8 weeks of high stress and broken sleep due to my injured Abby girl. She has decided that 3am is poop "O" clock which has been most unwelcomed especially in this ark building weather we are experiencing in CA We are so close to removing the cast and seeing if her tendon will engage but boy have we had some set backs.. Infections of the urinary track, infections of skin in high pressure areas under the cast blah blah.. We are so close! 2 weeks to go and I am praying on a daily! I have not been as good as I should have been about taking care of my brain so I am soaking some seeds to dose with tonight, anyhow, I suppose I am more so venting than much else. Possibly in this post I am giving an example of high stress and the body's innate ability to function under it. I was particularly happy to read of Kat's success in flying this Monday as it really gave me renewed hope (Doesn't get much better for a Monday morning read). IDK I may just be in need of finger exercise although it would be nice to learn what folks do immediately after a ringing in a effort to prevent an attack?

You are right about that Racer!! I'm from the northern swamps originally. Crawdads rule!

Glad pup is recovering, I do not notice ear ringing but in a similar line I do tend to get what I assume is 'exploding head' as I fall asleep I will hear a huge ringing kinda wooshing odd noise that startles the hell out of me. A lot of those nights iirc I will end up getting hammered pretty hard on the rem switch timing hit.

@BoscoPikoglad Abby doo is getting better

No worries Jeeb. Truthfully.. I think I'm just getting tired.. Yep this is the part wearing me down.. I've got my faith so thank goodness for that (i know your not religious) but you sure are a good friend! Uff.. I've looked for sanctuary many a time here and am delighted to say I've always found it. Everyone here has been so amazing! I do miss @Shaun brearley and his smart quips. Lots of cool folks on here for sure.

Hey everyone. I posted earlier but I don’t think it went through. So I have been posting for years in this chat now about my fear of flying (in our out of cluster season). And I finally flew. It was a short flight, so I cannot comment further on length affecting a cluster. My flight there I had zero shadows or headaches during ascent or descent. I had almost a gallon of water leading up to the flight (the day before and that morning). I upped my verapamil dose by 80 mg and I loaded on the d3 regimen a week prior. I had a Red Bull at the ready, just in case. Also 2 500 mg Tylenol before take off and landing, and a ginger capsule. coming home: I went on no sleep the night before because my flight was at 5 am. This was dumb but I didn’t really have a choice. I was SURE this would trigger me, also it was daylight savings time. I drank about the same amount of water the day before and leading up to the flight. I bought a Red Bull, and I also prepped by taking 2 500 mg Tylenol. During ascent I started to feel tight pressure on my cluster side, no pain, just pressure. I chugged my Red Bull, and it went away instantly. I stayed hydrated the rest of the flight, and felt no further pressure during descent. I did not need to use any suma injection or steroid taper. I am not currently IN cycle, but I find with my clusters If I hit one of my triggers I will get an attack regardless. I am very VERY excited over this. My fear of travel has been depressing for the last few years. I hope this info helps everyone

See @kat_92we can lead a normal life !!!!! No need to be scared of flying anymore you did it
