I thought I had an ear infection


But it was an overload of earwax. That's basically the gist.

I've never had an ear infection, and I hope I never will. Just sayin'. I understand they're painful.

The 'inner ear infection' is a real screwjob!
Day-long headaches...no fun at all!

Yikes! No thanks.

I have a tube in my left ear. Have you tried having a tube inserted....it relieves the pressure. I’ve had 3 Tympanoplasties, reconstructing the eardrum to no avail. Two cholesteatomas....the first one ate into the mastoid bone.

Sounds awful
I cannot imagine that!

Shoggie, it is awful, but others have it worse. Maybe we should have a thread “List Your Worse Physical Ailment (s)”. Not for a pity party, but perhaps seeing those who do have it worse. Hopefully we would shelve for a while the “woe is me” attitude and as a result have more empathy for others.

Good lord! I just realized I’m sounding like the Kumbaya, Pollyanna character.....Malko! 😬🙇‍♀️ Just forget this post!

Oh, Malko is fine company if you give him a chance!
Scout's honor👍

I have many, many times. He may be a “fine” fellow, but I just couldn’t read any more of his insufferable posts! 🤦‍♀️

He certainly overthinks things...he's most fun when he loosens up

reply

If you say so, Shoggie. To each his own. I literally want to shout “wake me when it’s over” when he gets on his soapbox!

reply

He and I had it out early, maybe that's why we get along...I find him a handful but a lot of fun too!

To each his own...wise words K!

reply

Sorry for you, but also relieved for you. Hopefully it gets sorted, but I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.

I had that happen to me too. I kept hearing something bouncing around in my ear when I would lie down to go to sleep at night. It drove me crazy! I finally went to my doctor and found that I had a bundle of ear wax. The doctor spray washed it out. What a relief.
