Day 1   Monday June 4, 10 Am I have an appointment with my Doctor, Some test and I walk out with the Levo device.  The day was fine, i'm full of hope. Is bed time and i'm using the iPod touch for the first time. I had some trouble sleeping, wake up every 2 hours. A bad night and a hard day with the ringing.  I need to  get used to the earphones. I put the device inside my pillow with a I touch cover for protection.
​
​Day 2  I sleep better, but maybe because I needed to take 0.75 Xanax.  That’s a lot for me, I don't like the addictive relationship. I saw my mother struggling with anxiety and always try to deal with my problems without drugs. But I guess its different now. Sleep depravation aggravate the noise. So, Let's rock & roll.

​ ​If you have any questions,  just ask. ​
Day 3    ​Woke up fabulous, Creative, cook lunch & dinner, clean my house and a good appetite. Everything was fine, but when I got to bed:  Another nuit blanche. Larry wake up to work at 5:30 and I’m still awake. Took 0.75 Xanax and sleep at 6:30 am. Wake with the noise at 6 - on a  1 to 10 scale.  I had to stop going to the gym, the music was so loud that it hurt.  My new afternoon routine is run & walk the neighborhood,  knowing that I’m in treatment make me more calm. After dinner   we light candles with nice smells, our session of aromoteraphy, a quiet moment right before bed.

​​Day 4   Today a brown pit bull jumped on me during my run and hurt my tricep. I love dogs, but this one make me very nervous. We call the police. A handsome Sheriff took my report. He  looked like a Chippendale dancer. My noise got high again.  I meditate to calm down.

Day 5   I   Slept well but at 8 am I waked up with no earphones, they must've fallen out during the night, so I put them back in to sleep again. I'm committed. Its  Friday night, the noise is not too bad. Quiet evening with my hubby.

Day 6  I sleep 11 hours last night . The noise is s little bit softer. My husband is very aware and  protective of my tinnitus so he took me to a park. I love nature, its very relaxing for me and brings me back to my childhood . We had a weekend house close to the Paraná River in Argentina, my happiest moments growing up. 
​
Day 7   Having a matcha in a coffee place, always outdoor - I still can't handle the in door noises - but I'm calm, we just come back from another picnic in the park. The nicest in the area: Rancho San Antonio. Cheese, bread, ham, olives  and scones. I Now, I only drink mineral water, no more soda, no more caffeine,  this is my new thing. Makes me feel clean. 

This condition makes me apreciate the simple things & appreciate the now, the moment I'm living, without worrying about tomorrow. Enjoying today.  ​​

Day 8​ Monday June 11.  Its been  just a week and Im calmer already. I Woke up feeling fresh & happy, there is nothing better than a good night sleep right now,  no interruptions and colorful dreams.  The weather help. i love the heat, is 28 C - 82 F - put me in a very good mood. I sun tan 30 minutes every morning in my backyard. its now 5 Pm, Im using the device in Awake, daytime mode. Organizing my closet and doing some gardening. 90 minutes go smoothly but when I stop i feel a little bit sick. I know is powerful because after 30 minutes the noise become softer.

​Day 13   Today is the best day since I Start the treatment. I woke up with a little noise and that never change. The feeling is so good that  I 'm full of energy, happy & hopeful. We went to Los Altos, a nearby city, to have lunch and chill out. Its still hard for me to go inside closed places, like restaurants. but after, that night we went to my favorite vietnamese.
