A Bit of Me in Every Key Stroke
I so enjoyed this story, Billy Ray. You had me clutching my computer chair as I read it. Suspenseful! And then puzzling, until the denouement with the doctor. IS there such a thing as MES? Because, truly, I think I have it too… ;-0

Ah, it corrected itself! Yes, MES is real – I was diagnosed with MES some months ago. No problems. ♥

Enjoy the music! It will settle, and you will hardly know it’s there. ♥

Sorry, Pam… the ‘Ah, it corrected itself’ was an aside: thought I had lost your comment by hitting the wrong button on my laptop… ♥

Excellent, Billy Ray. I have MES and have learned to live with it. Good story.

Hey, good John, me, too, buddy! I kept asking Julie Anne to turn the music off – then was diagnosed some months ago…like you, LIVING WITH IT! ♥

I sort of enjoy it. At night whwn all is quiet I can pretend it is a lullaby. The sound used to be like a cicada in August. It then changed to music. (In the shower it is way loud.)

My cranial hi-fi system plays soft melodic music, the kind I’ve always favored. At night, it is soothing and almost ‘dirge’…we live how we must!♥

Wow, I had never heard of MES before your blog. Thank you for explaining the phenomenon, Billy Ray. So, do tunes repeat or is the music random? Fascinating story!

The music is mostly soft music – the kind I really enjoy – perhaps MES is trying to keep me entertained with all the music I’ve loved over the years… I’ve become rather used to it now … in bed at night the music seems always to be soothing, almost ‘dirge’ music… ♥♥

Thanks, Denise. I was diagnosed with MES some months back, have gotten used to it, plays mostly the softer music that I enjoy, song I’ve enjoyed throughout my life… ♥♥

Well, that’s a new one to me, Billy Ray. I suffer hearing loss. And I have mild tinnitus. Oh and I stay awake half the night with the melody and lyric of a song running through my head (usually one I listened to through my headsets as I exercised), and there is a line or sometimes just a few words that are missing in my mind. So I keep looking for them all the freakin’ night long. (oh, btw, I think you intended to accuse your doctor as being a sadist, not a masochist.)
You sure know how to draw out the suspense, bro Billy. Like the young lady, you had me gripping the arms of my computer chair. Good job.

Thanks, Jay..yeah, I thought about that – sadist/masochist business but too late. Thanks for reminding me, and I do know the difference! Re the MES, I was diagnosed with it some months back – a relatively new anomaly, I’m told by the hearing docto.r…no cure at the moment.
Always the best to you, good buddy! ♥
