I beg your pardon. Is do1you9love in trouble?

I read in another thread she was having some issues.

Thank you.

Thoughts and prayers going out to do1you9love ((((hugs)))

Peace.

Thank you all for the concern. I am fine, just work issues. Nothing serious.

I just want to say again, what a great, caring group of people this is. I have never been part of such a wonderful board before this.

Hope your dizziness is gone soon!

Hi, Sweetness.

It's all good.

(Sunday was bad. My face hurt...because of the clogged ear and ear infection. Monday, I sneezed and I was on Def-Con 2. The pressure scared me. Monday I was nauseous and dizzy.)

I am on the mend.

>>hugs>>

Peace.

(Antibiotics tend to *kill* all the flora in the gut. I look forward to spending the next two days sitting on the throne. Ha!)
Have you tried placing a condom on the affected ear? o_O
:rolleyes:
I read the other thread called "What the Frick?"
:)

Since no one mentioned it yet, I'll jump in...

I used to get a lot of sinus/ear pressure which would turn into infections in one or both. Anything iffy in that area (my head) turns into a migraine eventually, so I was pretty committed to finding some kind of solution that didn't mess with all the other medications I take.

As horrible as it sounds, I have had great results with a neti pot. It's just warm saline water, but it clears a lot of gunk out and helps things drain. It's a little scary at first, and I still make faces when I do it, but it's saved me a lot of pain over the years.

Anyway, there are a zillion videos and websites on how to use it. For me, the key was the rotation of my head front to back. Tilt too far back and the water pours down my throat. Too far forward and I get that horrible feeling like those first few seconds after you cannonball off the highdive and you aren't sure you want to live any more.

Whatever you do, don't make the mistake this guy does. Poor thing, it makes my eyes water just to watch...
