I use earplugs but I hate the feeling. I went to dinner and had them in...and still suffered the next day.

I will say that today I woke up feeling like crap but after talking a few mins to a friend...she said "you feel like crap a lot...just try to do a little less today and see how it goes. Don't get all upset..it will make it worse". She was right. I was able to get out and do a little bit and I feel like crap now, but not much worse than if I stayed home laying on the couch crying or upset that I still feel like crap.

I guess I'm learning.

I'm going out Sat night to dinner...and I am going with the attitude of I need to get out and I'm going to have a nice time. I'm hoping not to suffer the next day, but if I do I will just take it easy (or easier...easy, relax...words don't fit my personality or lifestyle!)

Take precautions (earplugs)...and have an exit plan if you need it--sometimes I take my heatpack for my neck (if nothing else it feels nice).

Hope next outing goes better....and it will you have to believe it will.
