    Anxiety and Labyrinthitis?

    I sparingly use Valium. On a really bad day I'll take it, anywhere from once to three times during that day. 5 mg. It can be a good vestibular suppressant, and it also can help with anxiety. Definitely one of those "discuss with doctor first" options. It was a BIG help before the VNS...

    May 21, 2011 Party!

    Ah...12-21-2012. I plan to be on a Caribbean island. If the world ends then its a great place to be. If it doesn't, it's a great place to be... :giggle:

    Anxiety and Labyrinthitis?

    Dan, I just found this post and wanted to let you know I truly understand how you feel. I have Meniere's Disease and suffered vertigo and loss of balance from that. I had surgery for the Meniere's, and it's almost 7 months later and I've still not recovered my balance all that well. It is a...

    May 21, 2011 Party!

    Zumba! I used to take it and absolutely LOVED it! Hopefully I can take it again someday. I've not recovered well enough from my VNS (vestibular nerve section) to be able to try it again. Heck, I failed at Tai Chi :giggle: Zumba was the best workout class I ever took and talk about...

    newly single!!!!!!!!

    Hmmmmm, I think I want a boyfriend. Trouble is I'd probably only like it for a day or two. Anyone want to be my BF for a day or two? Just think - no nagging for a long term commitment and it's not long enough for me to expect expensive gifts. :D

    Picture of your pets

    I'd use the "like" button - but this really doesn't seem appropriate. I'd rather post and say I'm sorry your little fur friend is gone. I have a cat that I still grieve daily for - the love of my life in fur friends. So I emphasize and it makes me like you more because I share the same love...

    May 21, 2011 Party!

    I'll probably just have fun with it - rent a good movie, get some margarita fixings and enjoy myself. Other than that I'll probably just keep my mouth shut as I have many friends who I might offend with my attitude of "what...you think the world is ending AGAIN?" I respect their right to...

    May 21, 2011 Party!

    Didn't even hear about this particular "end of the world" date until the last few days. I've known more about the Mayan one - and intend to be on a Caribbean island in case the world ends...or not. If it's this Saturday...oh well. At least I HAD plans for the other end of the world...

    B&N Nook

    I've got a Kindle and love that. Since it came out there have been many more e-book readers released. Still love my Kindle, but I'm sure others have their good points too. Basically I love e-book readers far more than paper books, especially big hardcover books. HATED trying to read...

    What's great about being single?

    The only laundry I have to do is my own.... If I want a pink bedroom, or a lavender bedroom, I can. No one expects me to ask "permission" to do anything.

    what did you learn the hard way?

    That just about everyone else is as self-conscious about crap as you are. That people don't tend to view you as harshly as you view yourself. (talking about body image here) I've struggled with weight gain and have found myself in the past not even wanting to go out thinking I'm not...

    Sidekick 4G vs. Samsung Galaxy S 4G

    It was time to change phones. I had a Blackberry but never really liked it for texting as the keyboard is just too tiny. I still use voice on my phone but am using texting more and more due to my hearing declining. Decided to get the new T Mobile Sidekick 4G. I liked it at first. The...

    "Like" system on AllDeaf.com

    I am all for the "like" button as many times I appreciate a post, but don't have anything meaningful to add. I read far more than I post on here, as I don't want to do "I agree" posts that don't add to the conversation.

    Anyone have luck with Medically Needy & Hearing Aids?

    Well they called me today. The BTE hearing aid they recommended for me didn't come in the flowered version. The open fit version of it would, but I need the kind with an ear mold. My hearing is expected to deteriorate and has been steadily so she said that the open fit wouldn't work as...

    Welcome back! I hope you always feel welcomed!

    hi

    Derek, Don't be boring - get a color YOU like. Blue/maize for your team might be nice? This is of course since I can't talk you into flowers....

    hi

    I like purple. I couldn't get purple, but I did get black and grey with flowers. Maybe I can eventually get purple ear molds?

    use HULU ?

    I just asked this in another thread - but some of you may have the answer. With captioning in movies, are the swear words shown or are they edited or use symbols instead of the whole word?

    Swear words on captioned DVD's?

    Hello all, With captioning on DVD's, are the swear words written out? I'm asking as my friend's mother uses captioning whenever possible, but she's very old school and gets offended by bad language in films. She wants to see The King's Speech, but my friend is afraid that they'll...

    hi

    It never fails to amuse me that students think we'll do what basically boils down to doing their homework FOR them.... There is this evil, nasty part of me that would like to answer their survey and give them totally ridiculous answers. :D
