    Scam...
    Oh, I haven't heard...knew he was having a few issues with certain postings and another group started coming on this group specifically seeming to hammering him.

    Everyone should be allowed to post and comment if it isn't taken as too invasive to others...guess someone always needs to make that call. I know he is passionate about his beliefs, but I only took them as his feelings, beliefs, and opinions.

    It only rubs me sometimes when people post in such away to make it seem that is the only way it should be done, or the only product that should be used or not used,or that it's "The Golden Standard".....

    Most are just opinions or feelings because something has worked well for them, or that's their particular lifestyle...which is fine with me, just don't shove it down my throat as that's the only whatever that works (which I didn't get that from Scam).

    LOL, anywayyyyys, I hope you are doing well, sorry your wife is having issues....

    Best,
    John

    Clearblue, glad you checked
    Clearblue, glad you checked in, always thinking of you guys, and I had just posted last week, that it's been a while since I have heard from you.

    As far as the ears thing goes, I assume that this too shall pass. Meanwhile I will just suck it up. This not hearing was a blessing for about five minutes today. :)

    Don't know if I've told this but my treatments ended on a Friday (many years ago) and on Monday I caught a flight to Germany. Like most I wanted my life back to normal and made a rash decision that I would come to regret. I knew I was 1) very red from rad treatments, 2) very bald from rad/chemo and 30 very skinny from all the above. What I did not know was that the canal that connects in the rear of the hearing canal had been burnt/scarred from rad and was plugged up. It was impossible to clear my ears after we took off, the same when we returned and thats not a good feeling. Went to see my ENT and he immediately inserted two tubes, one in each ear. There are very few bodily functions that can compare to the feeling of estacy (sp?) of those ears clearing up....

    Assume you may have had it done but it is very simple and painless. You'll just always wonder where they went when they finally fall out.

    Nope, have not had it done. I am feeling dizzy today. I've really not done much of anything today, but tidy the bathroom, cook and eat. Didn't even take Nizzy out much. He is sick too, he threw up 3x today. Every time I bend over right ear gets worse and I get dizzier. I am just not moving around much today.

    Sure it's hosed right now with your ears so clogged and messed up....

    Awww, Nizzy is having sympathy pains for momma....plus he's probably not getting all of the snacks he normally cons you out of.

    Hi Sweet
    I am sorry Nizzy if feeling bad too. I just found out litle kitty Firefly had bad allergies. I give her meds once a day. She must get it from her momma. Take it easy and get better.

    Are you any better?
    Hi Sweet,

    Sorry I missed your post. It's been about a week right and you have been on antibiotics and sounds like rest. I wonder if your symptoms have improved at all. I do hope you get better soon. Thoughts and prayers with you. Darren

    Nope, still sick.
    I am basically still the same. :-/

    Nizzy threw up 3x yesterday. last night all over my clean bed I had just washed. So, I washed everything again. I am trying to keep him resting today. He just woke up from half hour nap. I would like to see him sleep some more and then get him up in about a half hour or so, when I start my dinner prep.

    I have not been sick like this in a long time. I will take the rest of these antibiotics and guess if I am not feeling any better, I will be getting back to the docs.

    If it's Zyrtec D or anything else D...it's prescription now...at least in my area, same with the Nasonex D.

    I had similar problems to Dawn last year....my ENT precribed the Nasonex-D.

    JG

    Yeah, the 'D' suffix means decongestant
    ETA: Sorry wrong spot on the thread, this is in response to Skiffin16's post of July 12, 2011 - 6:23pm. Half my posts don't seem to stay where I intended them, apologies! Non sequiturs abound.

    It seems like the D nearly always indicates the addition of the decongestant pseudoephedrine, used to treat nasal and sinus congestion. It can also be helpful for congestion of the tubes that drain fluid from the inner ear and therefore might likely be indicated for Sweet's ailment, thanks for pointing it out.

    Sweets if you're reading this, I think about you ten x every day, worrying why the ears won't clear up and hoping you get to feeling better. Sending prayers and good gentle healing vibes your way.

    Pseudoephedrine
    You are correct....

    used to treat nasal and sinus congestion. It can also be helpful for congestion of the tubes that drain fluid from the inner ear.

    annnd unfortunatley I guess a main component in making the nasty drug methamphetamine so widely used in America....

    Thus the reasoning anymore for prescribtion only....

    Thanks, dearheart. I think today I can hear out of my right ear a bit better. I was still coughing up lots of crud this morn, which is usually standard. Then I had to play rodeo, because 3 out of four of the mini horses were out. :-/ Long story short, they are back in, but not at the expense of me almost coughing up a damn lung. I think tho, that my chest maybe a tiny bit better, and it was the 'running' (I was really trying to run. Really. For me, that was running. I could go slighty faster if there was someone behind me with a knife. I didn't run when I was spry - ok spryish- never mind now) I think, that did me in. I think I would have been a little better without that bit if excitement.

    Nizzle seems better today. So that is a bit of goodness for me today.

    Be well peeps. And thank you much!

    <3 Sweet

    lifting prayers

    Why in the world you would hate to ask, though, sweet, is beyond me.

    Prayers for healing, relief from understandable fears and peaceful rest as you get well.

    Hugs!
