Redeye, not the photography kind

I used to get episcleritis every six months or so, usually after pulling all-nighters doing inventory at Half Price Books or prepping a book for publication. Then it went away for ten years ago or so. And now? Yes, it's back, after a weekend of trying-to-get-a-lot-done-without-enough-sleep ( Read more... )

I have "ideopathic unilateral hearing loss" which means "yeah, you're right, you can't hear out of that ear very well."

I'm developing tinnitus too. Yep, your ear's ringing; you should answer it.

I have tinnitus in both ears, my left worse than my right. It's even different tones and loud enough to make it hard to sleep at times. Sigh.

Eeek! Don't do that sort of thing to yourself. Just hearing about it is painful. Owie.

Do what? Go to the eye doctor? Or get episcleritis?

Don't strain your eyes to the point where you get epi--espki--red-eye stuff. ;-P

Wellll, okay, if you insist.

Am I dumb? I keep typing 'episcleritis' instead of cutting-and-pasting.
