I suffered a neck kink last week and am still recovering from it. Apparently, a kinked neck can be the result of me grinding my teeth in my sleep. Grinding teeth can also cause lower pain and earaches. I've had an earache for 3 weeks now. It's finally mellowing out, but last week my right ear closed and my own voice ended up sounding really loud whenever I opened my mouth--as if my stopped-up ear had trapped it inside my skull and it was just echoing around.
I did some searching, and activities that cause me to grind my teeth are smoking and drinking too much coffee and alcohol. Check, check, check. I do all of those things.
I went to see a doctor. Seeing a doctor in the UAE can be a risky proposition. It can be like going to a plumber for a colonoscopy. I'm guessing. Haven't ever had to have one of those. But if I ever do, I won't have it done in the UAE. The guy will probably be a plumber.
In the middle of it all, my laptop shut down on me last night. The monitor flickered for a few minutes and then went black.
Good news is that when I headed over to a computer repair dude that I've used a couple times in the past and turned on the laptop, everything was normal again.
So maybe things are turning up.
