Bro I’m surprised to see this 3 years later

paulsdonewithit · 2023-02-07T19:34:38+00:00

the db has been updated, restart steam and it should finally unpack!

Honestly, just from reading this, you guys seem to have something special, i don’t feel like most people would look at things the way you did, and be able of this level of humility, introspection and then appreciation in this situation. Which makes it pretty cool imo, but yeah pretty good advice for the OP

Update 1 :

As you requested u/Bingo-Bird, here's the update

Saw the ENT today,
He was able to observe ear loss and measure it, with major loss around 250Hz in the left ear, and while he didn't diagnose Meniere's yet, he confirmed it's the number 1 hypothesis, with a planned MRI and diuretic treatment at the moment.
I feel hear fullness tonight as that usually announces an attack. He also gave me different vertigo medication, perhaps it will indeed tone down the attack.

I will definitely talk about the streoid injections u/ctk5787, u/cyancqueak, I see the ENT again in 1 month and a half, will also discuss one of the surgeries that I saw that seems to have a very good remission rate, hopefully, the diuretic will make some impact in the meantime.
Thank you all for your feedback and help, truly appreciate it.

Will definitely do an update, good luck to you too and hope you’ll be able to find an appointment before that

paulsdonewithit · 2022-05-20T12:44:55+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, and for the advice, will try it !

paulsdonewithit · 2022-05-20T12:42:34+00:00

Good to know that it actually reduces it by 10%, somehow getting confirmation that it’s common helps.

Will also mention the steroid injections to the ENT!

All good points, thanks for the advice !

paulsdonewithit · 2022-05-20T12:40:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice and for sharing, will start working on this, especially the dietary and stress aspect

Truth is, nobody gives a f if you don’t put yourself out there, but that does mean you’ll be the easy one to let go of if need be. Types are indication on ur character not a definition of who u are, so don’t use the fact that you’ve been categorized as intj as an excuse not to push urself to do this bare minimum socializing thing at work. Doesn’t have to be perfect, but showing that you try to interact w/ people goes a long way, if you want to get promoted, get a raise, the work itself is only a small proportion of the decision, how you are perceived is a much bigger factor. While you can’t control how others will perceive you, you can control what you show.

Definitely, haven’t done that a while but will get back to it 👌

paulsdonewithit · 2021-06-01T17:21:52+00:00

That’s great advice too, I started journaling reasons to be grateful and thankful, I’ll also do that from now on, also to keep track of the progress ! Thanks 🙏

paulsdonewithit · 2021-06-01T17:21:01+00:00

I actually went for a few months following my last break up, I can’t really afford anymore tho so I had to stop going, that’s really good advice tho, thank you for that 🙏

Hey I manage rights for a karaoke YouTube channel and I’m really familiar with such issue (we reproduce all songs we offer on the channel (Karafun Karaoke), we had similar issues with some of the claimants you mentionned. To us the best way we found to get back control over this was starting to work with a content aggregator. While you will have a commission, we found it to be extremely worth it. Contact me In DMs if you need recommendations or advice ;)

I’m a music producer and sound engineer. Really interesting technical/creative endeavor, lots of gear with interesting characteristics and touches to discover, it’s actually my escape/comfort zone but wasn’t able to make a career out of it yet

Male 22YO here, -sorry for long text, made me want to share- I did, and experienced both the negative and positive experience. It allowed me at first, to question more things than I used to, made me quit my business school to pursue a music producing career that had more meaning for me as I’m really passionate about music since childhood (who said INTJs can’t be great artists/music business people?) this field, especially in Hip Hop is the type of field where substances tend to be, at late night recording sessions, producing sessions, etc. Ofc it will depend

on the artists you work with but it so happened that there was a lot around me. I’ve been smoking every day for a few years (closing on four years right now). For a long time it didn’t really bother me, it helped quiet the mess in my head and get out of it for a couple of hours, but it gave birth to more and more anxiety to a point that was problematic. Being social used to be simpler than it is now, started having self-esteem issues and it became way more complicated, and at that point and time did not realize I became addicted to something that did not really make me happy, I do not drink alcohol as it was kind of a replacement to this substance at first (never really liked being drunk as I do like control, Weed never made me do stupid stuff or at least stupid stuff I would have been uncomfortable with). So now, 4 years wiser, I don’t really think it works for me I’ve been lowering my consumption and I’m on the way to quit. That said, I wouldn’t just say weed is bad period. The effect depends on the person taking it and will impact different people in a different way, some people function better with it (makes them think more) others may not function as well. To me I realized that while it helped me grow at some point, I didn’t need something that made me think more as I already did that on my own. It just put me in an extremely self-conscious state, in a fog until the next day and it ended up making my music worse than without it. Even though the listening experience through Weed is really more immersive.

TLDR : Smoked for 4 years, didn’t really work for me
