Good News!!!
« on: May 24, 2010, 06:22:20 pm »
I went into NYU this afternoon and had my MRI.  Dr. Roland said the films looked "CRYSTAL CLEAR"!!!!  YEAH  I'm so happy and relieved.  I feel like today was a milestone.

I told him about the other ear and the sensitivity he told me it was Hyperacusis.  Not uncommon with SSD.  I guess just something I will live with.

Thanks everyone who helped me through this week with your positive thoughts and prayers.  It help tremendously!

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Hi Jen-

Been off this board for a few days, so just saw this - congratulations!!  Now you're good for another year. 

BTW, I also have the hyperacusis thing - pretty common, I guess.  I use an ear plug sometimes if I know that I am going to be around the kinds of noises that bother me.
