New year, new joy...

It seems that my tinnitus has spread. Aside from hearing hissing and piping and ringing tones in my right ear in irregular intervalls, now I have a constant, low-key humming noise in my left ear, as from this evening. And it shows no signs of going away any time, soon.

Fortunately, it's not too loud. But it's most disturbing nonetheless. I know there isn't a cure for this kind of thing; my Grandma had it, my Mum has it, so I've probably inherited the affinity, and the stress and the noise level at school did the rest.

It was not completely unexpected. I just wish I hadn't started twenty years earlier than the others of the family.

It has, for the time being. But I'll have to consider this a warning. *sighs*
Getting old is not always pleasant.

You're not old.

I know what you mean though, these last two years my knees have been getting really painful, since there is rheumatoid arthritis on both sides of the family, I am obviously next in line. I was horrified when walking downstairs took ages and really hurt! Fortunately Glucosamine and Chrondoitin tablets help and supermarket brands are affordable. I have to take them every day though, or it comes back with a vengeance.

Yeah, our hearts might feel ever-young but the creaking joints tell us otherwise, don't they? :s

My knees used to click when I was young, it was embarrassing sitting down for assembly. And I remember my dad's clicking whenever he walked up the stairs when he was in his twenties. I twisted both of them doing something and after that it's just gone downhill :(

Owww. Sorry to hear that.
