I am going to cancel the flight.

I am not worried about the cost. I have thrown away many tickets over the years. And thank you all. For your ticket advice.

I just feel really really bad disappointing.my uncle for not being able to attend my little cousins wedding. I have not been back to Illinois in over 5 yrs to see my uncles and their kids. I was really looking forward to seeing them all.

I have another trip I'm taking on 10/20 hopefully by then I have it figured out what is actually wrong and hearing returns.

I will say it appears at times throughout the day today I have some improvement. But that seems to come and go. The large crowd I was around tonight. Over echoed in my ear.

I'm also beyond hyper on these steroids. I feel like ricochet rabbit. I'm am wide awake. I only had 4 hours of sleep last night. And I am still Ready to rock and roll. Lol.. Do These pills always have this effect on people? I dont know if this is a good or bad thing? To be this hyper??? I seriously feel like I'm on a race track.. very strange to add this to the issue.

Hi,
Yes, steroids have different effects on your metabolism including an uptick in energy , insomnia and weight gain. You won’t and shouldn’t be on them long term. Magnesium glycinate about an hour before bedtime will help calm you down and hopefully aid in sleep.
I take 2 every night. Bottle will say 400 mg on label. Get it in a health food store or a store like Whole Foods or Sprouts...will probably be in the sleep or calm area of the vitamins. Avoid Solray brand...not reliable. It has to be glycinate and it’s the best absorbed kind and easy on the stomach.
You’ve just started steroids so thinking you noticed a slight improvement is a positive sign.
What others said here about tapering off the steroids is so important and I hope you are not on them too long.

You go Ricochet Rabbit!
