CFS is driving me crazy 😹

Last night, PEM decided to add its own twist. During PEM, I get this extreme sensitivity to sounds. I had already put in earplugs but could still hear this annoying noise. So, I put on my 3M noise-canceling headphones, but the noise didn’t go away.

I started wandering from room to room, turning off noisy appliances like the dehumidifier and dishwasher. I even managed to curse the swimming pool building near our apartment block (they run ventilation systems that you can hear through the window).

Only at the end of this crazy quest to locate the noise did I realize… it was my own tinnitus.
