I am so sorry your going through this. I really don't know what to tell you. I know with a person in pain would rather be at home well atleast I do so you can't leave everyday. I don't know if you can call the people doing the project to see if anything can be done and ask them if they have any ideas on how you can handle the movement all the time, it is worth a try Or maybve your doctor would have some ideas. I hope it will end soon so you can get some peace.

I know that life goes on around us fellow pain sufferers but your situation seems near in tolerable. You can talk to the head of the construction project but I doubt it will do any good. Unfortunately they have a project to complete.
Some good old fashion head phones, the kind that completely engulf the ear may help the noise but it will do nothing to stop the vibrations. I have some great Boise headphones that when I put them on I can hear nothing but the music. You might want to invest in those type of head phones.
Can you spend a few nights a week away from your home? That may at least allow some temporary releif and rest. If you are not sleeping your symptoms may well be even worse.
Is it possible to do some sound proofing in your bedroom? Talk to the ppl at your local hardware store, like Menard's or Home Depot. They may have some easy temporary fixes for you. Again that most likely will not ease the vibrations but it may be worth asking them for some suggestions.
Now might be a good time for weekend get aways. Please let us know how you are doing and if you are able to find any solutions.
Good Luck to You,

Thank you for the ideas. I appreciate it.
I thought I would throw it out and see what ideas people had that maybe I just could not think of.
My neurologist is actually pretty stumped as well. He simply said - you can't tolerate that.
But, it have been doing the ipod cranked as much as I can to help with the noise. I also vacate my home for at least a couple hours a day - but sometimes that doesn't work out.
First dynamite blast is tonight (3 a.m.) - we'll see how that goes. At least those will be short and limited to only 4 nights. If intolerable I can vacate at least for that.

Is the kind of work you do able to be done from a coffee shop that has internet access? Is there perhaps a hotel close by that may let you use their internet access and an empty conference room for free or at a nominal price? Is it any better if you were working from on a bed (I do this often as it allows me to use a heating pad and be comfy with my laptop) as perhaps not having your feet on the floor might be easier? I so hope you can find a solution.
