My friend, Marilyn, wrote 'dislike' after I noted on Facebook that it sucked to be back on antibiotics and prednisone. Thanks, Marilyn, I couldn't agree more!
Went to the ENT's office with the following complaints:
- my left ear is ringing
- my left ear has 'feedback', like a bad phone
- my sinuses are totally inflamed
- my left tearduct leaks into my eye
- I am coughing up green gunk
- I am coughing
- when I blow my nose, my ear makes popping noises...though luckily it no longer makes the room spin
I am certainly glad that modern medicine can help me here, but I hate having the side effects of the meds. I am hoping that it will NOT be a problem this time.
D, i know this will sound woo-woo...but have you ever tried using a neti pot? it may not help (with the sinus thing), but i don't think it could hurt. if you've never used one, it's just rinsing your sinus passages gently with salt water (extra-pure salt is usually sold with the pot). i find it helpful, so thought i'd pass it along. hope you're feeling better soon and that those meds will be gentle on you. xo

It sounds miserable! Is summer coming soon? Take care.
