ear ear

[ewt]

Right ear still bunged up, and it started getting hurty so I've taken some ibuprofen. Applying heat seems to make it go 'pop' once in a while but it quickly feels blocked again. No inner-ear symptoms (dizziness etc) and I'm not running a fever, so I'm not too concerned yet, just annoyed by the increased tinnitus and the pain and the sensation.

I hope I don't end up having to go to a walk-in centre for this over the weekend. I REALLY hope I don't end up cancelling teaching for it.

Left ear also a bit sore but this is due to my usual "you are coming down with something, you know," swollen cervical lymph gland. I can hear out of it properly and stuff and it feels normal, just a bit hurty from pressure on the nerve.

Enough, already. Meh.

Also, carrying Aikido kit home was tough on my shoulder (hairyears kindly carried it for me last night - kit, not shoulder).

Only one set of errands done, though that was the toughest of the lot.

My left ear is slight bunged up from the double decompression/recompression cycle of transatlantic flying twice in a week, but that's obviously nothing compared to your ear. Get well soon!

Ah - the tube between the ear and back of throat - they can be a bastard to unblock.

Try decongestants. They're more likely to help shift stuff.
