    Health disorders forum?

    I am putting this here in hopes that the moderators will see it. I have talked with some other members here and there seems to be a large group of deaf or HoH people who have health disorders or diseases which go along with the hearing problems. Some of the problems were related to...

    Half a life .. some ways to help?

    Yeah i want to learn ASL. I just checked out the P3 software. Looks pretty cool. That flasher could come in handy. I'm surprised they make you call to order it though, heh. How do you find peoples chat names? Do you ask or do you have to be offered it?

    Half a life .. some ways to help?

    I have a good rheumatologist and immunologist. I've tried every medicine available... shots, cyclosporin, methotrexate, etc etc. I'm currently on a high dose of prednisone (anti-inflammatory) the only one that works. I take tramadol for pain. These have made a big difference but not...

    Half a life .. some ways to help?

    Yeah exactly. Its mostly my family now. Which really sucks because we used to be very close. They don't talk to me as much as they used to. They're active people, playing golf, tennis, hockey and going to parties or bars. I was forced to stop doing these things when i lost my hearing...

    Anxiety and Labyrinthitis?

    Cool, thanks! I didn't see the OTO there, and i thought neurologist and not neurotolgist. How do i make an appointment with one? Would my doctors at the cochlear center at mass eye and ear know? I have to go there anyways for a CI upgrade soon. I haven't mentioned anything to my primary...

    Anxiety and Labyrinthitis?

    I saw my doctor today. He said it is definitely labyrinthitis, inflammation in the vestibular bones. He prescribed methylprednisolone. I hate the medicine, it makes me rage easy. Unfortunately he would not prescribe a GABA med like valium. His reply was.... "No that's an anxiety medicine". :)

    Trouble with animating. :)

    I do 3d graphics. I stick to character work, building characters and rigging them for animation. I have never done character face animation myself because i can't make out the sounds very well. You have to sync the character to a music track or whatever. I've tried blasting the music...
