It pays to do your research....

My go-to healthy cereals were Life and Honey Bunches of Oats.
Guess not.
I usually eat my cereal with peanut butter now, and that drowns out the taste of the cereal anyhow and it's really more for the consistency than anything else. Cheerio's it is, until I make more money and can buy the more expensive stuff.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I eat none of those cereals on that list. My go to ones are Shreddies the original ones, Just Right which is made of 4 grains and Spoon size Shredded Wheat. I also eat Quaker Instant Regular Oatmeal to take my seizure meds with. Those are the only cereals I eat. All low in sugar and no added fruit to them.

And the ophthalmologist couldn't get a bead on the scrip, since every 6 months my left eye was different from the 6 month exam before. It would make wild swings, nearsighted to farsighted, and back again.
Then when I was 18 I got a scrip I just couldn't get used to. Maybe it was mis-filled. Anyway, I stopped wearing glasses. But age-related nearsightedness hit me early, before 40.
And I've always had floaters, but now they're so bad I can hardly see. No correction seems to make up for that.
But all in all, the bad hearing and vision, arthritis and bursitis, are acceptable so far. And thank god I found an answer for the pain. The asthma and terrible fatigue though ... now those are things I could do without.
So anyway ... anyone up for a rational, fact-based, and civil discussion about the topic?
My glasses were for distance but before my mom died I got my first set of bifocals.
I know about asthma. My brother has suffered from it since he was a baby. I know that I am a borderline asthmatic but there is nothing I can do about that cause it is mostly caused by my allergies.

I've read that the way to avoid that is that you get used to them very slowly. Hearing aids don't restore your hearing to what it used to be. They seem to increase the background noise and kill spatial resolution ie, it's hard to hear where the sound is coming from.
I think you mentioned your right ear is worse? Try starting with just one ear, like your right ear, a couple hours a day. Then gradually increase the time over 3 or 4 months. Then do the same adding in your left ear.
Your brain had a long, long time to adapt to the hearing loss, assuming you're like most people and it was gradual. It'll take time for your systems to rewire for the hearing aids. Going too quickly could lead to too much frustration and discomfort.

That was my mom and she was only dealing with one aid.
It's my left that is worse Kiki.
I'm not expecting an over night fix. I know my ears and my brain are going to have to get used to them.
Not frustrated just didn't think my ears would get so tired. I will wear them again tomorrow for a period then remove them again to let my ears rest.

Now if only my allergies would stop making me cough.

Hey! it just occurred to me. When do you get to move into government housing? By the description of your place, it sounds like there could be mold there. Not necessarily the black toxic kind, but at least mildew behind the walls. That could really be triggering your allergies.

That is an "I don't know" Kiki. Whenever the places on the list decide I fit into their box. These places have specific criteria and if you don't fit then they won't consider you. This hearing aid situation may shake something out of the woodwork. At least I hope so.
There is mold around and dust and I am sure some mildew. That is most likely what is triggering this coughing bout. It's almost over now but very annoying.
