The Daily Breaker: Dateline 1-18-2021

Good Evening Crickets…

This morning was a little rough from some sad thoughts of loneliness that struck last night as I tried to go to bed… following my effort to lessen my wor load over the weekend… this is probably because my projects have replaced my need for friends ever since I started to become a literal shut-in… minus the distractions from work… I no longer know what to do with myself… so I had two days to reflect on what went wrong and how there’s no going back anymore…

I was also nervous about my doctor’s appointment… since my last doctor left… and they were the first doctor who I felt I was building a patient relationship with… and was the first doctor that ever made me feel heard… and humored me while I explain my logic of what I thought was actually going on… since I was raised not to seek help until you have no other option… so I’ve had to figure out solutions to my health care concerns on my own…

To make things worse… since I am a home remedy patient… I’m not always confident in my diagnosis… but try to share my “research” and insights as suggestions in areas to look… and not as an expert with answers… thankfully… today… with before and after evidence following my sinus surgery… and a refound ability to communicate more clearly… minus the distracting buzzing in my ear… I was able to express my concerns clearly… and this time the doctor agreed that the evidence backed up what I thought…

He prescribed me some meds that are supposed to not only cut down the buzzing that I’ve been hearing in my left ear for years… but also has a sleepy side effect that might make it easier to go to bed… I also see that it treats bed-wetting not that this is a problem of mine… but… hopefully that means it will cut down my need to wake in the middle of the night to relieve myself… there’s also a bit of an anti-depressant quality to the pill that might also help cheer me up…

I’ll keep you posted on how they help when I check in with tomorrow’s post… but… like with most pills that affect mental health… I’m sure these bonus benefits will take a while to set in… but… I’m hoping the ear issue relief and sleepiness will kick in with tonight’s does… either way… I’ll keep you posted on that as well… but first… I need to wrap this note up so I can try out my new pill… as always… I look forward to sharing tomorrow’s update…

Sincerely…
