    Food Triggers?

    My sister said the same thing about the acidic foods. I didn't think of that although it seems obviously now! lol. I was thinking sulfites and salicylates. Maybe wheat? I couldn't figure out the beans at all. Man, I hate to give up nightshades! I love tomatos! But I think you may be...

    Food Triggers?

    Can anyone see a pattern with these foods? All of these have caused me to spike really high in volume. I have some theories but first I want to see if anything sticks out to anyone else.

    Tap Water Causing a Spike?

    You're probably right. I decided to try ALL bottled water on Friday. Didn't help...lol. I guess I am just grasping at straws thinking if I can identify triggers than I can have some control over this. Nice try lol.

    Tap Water Causing a Spike?

    I'll Take Tinnitus, Thank You.

    I think this was a good post help us keep things in perspective. Although I will admit after my Meniere's diagnosis I spent a lot of time wishing that I "just" had a brain tumor (acoustic neroma) instead. I figured at least with that they could remove it and I would have a chance of being...

    The Walking Dead (AMC)

    I personally liked Season 1 and 2 the best. Season 3 was just ok. Season 4 I am QUITE dissapointed in so far. It lost a lot of the character development from the first 2 seasons and feels more soap opera-ey to me. It also feels more like a bad zombie slasher film too and I'm NOT into that as...

    Wondering What We All Do for Our Work/Job/Living

    I'm a supervisor in a government office. It's mindless, soul crushing work but pays well and excellent benefits so I stay. I'm also a nurse on the side "for fun" because I'm crazy like that...
