about a week ago today i went to a doctor about it. he checked my ears and told me my ear was infected. he gave me anti-biotics and anti-inflammatorys (for TMJ strain), which i've been taking on schedule every day, but none of my symptoms have improved, not even a little bit. in fact they seem to be getting worse, but perhaps that's just because i'm focusing on them and testing them out all the time. i have a follow up appointment for my infection in another 7 days, so hopefully i can get some answers.
does anyone have any opinions or advice?View Thread

i have seen an audiologist - who diagnosed me with hyperacusis, an, ENT, and a neuro-otologist neither of whom could find anything wrong.
i still get the fluttering, and my eustachian tubes still click when i talk. when i swallow, my ears crackle VERY loudly. noise is so distressful at the moment that i need to wear hearing protection most of the time. this is absolutely ruining my life, but nobody has any idea what is happening. i am amazed this is even possible.View Thread

symptoms are quickly worsening and are now progressing into a very painful dry sore throat. feels like a bubble is popping in my eustachian tubes every time i speak, cough, clear my throat, or sneeze. still 5 more days before i can see my doctor.
i made an attempt at the emergency room last night but after a 9 hour wait i decided i couldn't wait any longer. if i have to be sick at work the least i can do is allow myself some sleep...View Thread




please help, this is driving me crazy and i fear that the doctors are going to give me the runaround yet again...View Thread
