has anyone had ear pain and pressure with the combo treatment?

hello everyone,
i am currently on the combo treatment for hep c. i started the last week in october.
i had every side effect there is. i think? the aches, the fevers, the pain in my legs, the dizziness, the crabbiness, i was getting used to all of them until now i have such pain and pressure in both ears.
i was on anti-biotic for a week from my other doctor who said there was fluid in my ears. this is a problem i get on and off but it always goes away...not now!!!it is here to stay!
my hep doctor took me off the ribivarin for 2 weeks and brought my shot down to half a dose for 2 weeks.
surprizingly, the pain subsided. i did my regular dose 2 weeks ago and its all back.
my doctor said i may have to go off treatment.
i am so devistated right now.
aside from the ears, my thyroid may or may not be messed up.i have to wait for more blood work.
this disease has gotten me down bad.
thanku all for listening.it helps to know one is not alone in this mess. thanku to those who all have listened to me before this!!!!
