I have a ringing in my ears and it's
totally bugging me. I'm 21 and I don't
think I ever did anything to mess them up.
Oh well it's just the left one I mean.
I'm very tired. Been losing a lot of
sleep. I can't work and I can't afford to
see a doctor. Bills are piling up. What
should I do? My 'family' doctor says he
can't do a thing for me. Has no advice
for me. I don't have health insurance and
i'm broke. I was gonna save up some money
for just this type of thing but it caught
me at a bad time. Just suddenly my left
ear starts ringing all the time. I've
been reading about it and most people call
it tinnitus but I don't know if I agree
with it. That is unless tinnitus really
is just a general term for hearing sounds
that aren't there. What do I do if I
don't have health insurance and I can't
function? I have a great paying job but I
can't go make money. I'm getting five
hours of sleep a night and that's it.
There are no make up days. There are no
12 hour sleep nights on the weekends. I'm
going insane. I've been studying
psychology for over three years and I know
right now i'm pretty much a homer simpson.
What do I do? I can't work cause i'm
sick and i'm sick cause I can't work.
Family is broke. What little family I
have anyway. I'll beg. If running around
outside naked would help i'll do it. I'll
do whatever I need to do. Paperwork,
phone calls, whatever. I just don't know
about this type of thing. The doctors
won't tell me anything. What should I do?
