desertgirl about ear

[lucyred68]

sounds like an ear infection, hun.  you really need to get to a dr or the er.  i had exactly the same symptoms, and burst my eardrum.  was deaf in that ear for 6 weeks, and still have permanent hearing loss.  not something to play around with.  also if it is in your sinuses too, some sinuses go directly to the brain.  my neice was in the hosp with a sinus infection cause it hat spread to her brain.  pretty scary.  you need some antibiotics.

sorry to hear about your pain, i am still taking ultram, some days are good and some days are bad, i struggle everyday with it and other stuff. i am SO thankful i moved away from the family stress, it has been a very nice 5 years so far, lol. just got back from the store, the pharmasist recommended some eardrops. so i will give it a try. when i first got my kidney infection they gave me some percs, and i took them like i was supposed to, because I needed them. I hope your not being hard on yourself for taking a norco when you really need it.

doing ok.  the feuding family members just left, and it was tense, but no-one lost it, so i can relax a little.  some of them will be back tomorrow, but it is the ones we get along with, so the worst is over.  my back is killing me, the reason i got addicted in the first place, so i gave in and took a couple of norco's.  been lifting boxes and heavy stuff all day to help with the moving.  anyway, i do take it once in a while if the pain gets unbearable, but so far i have been able to control myself, and only take it when it is needed.  never want to go through the wd's again.  may have to anyway if i don't get some kind of treatment for my back, but hopefully not.

Thank you so much for your post, means alot to me that people care : ) I have always had sinus probs, I have two sinus surgeries behind me and won't do another. I don't have insurance but if the pain gets worse I will definately go to the ER. How are you doing?
