Wow! Excellent link! My ENT suspected my ear problems were likely caused by my Sjogren's syndrome.

However, the paragraph on "Intolerance" was really interesting. I have been 100 percent deaf in my right ear since I had spinal meningitis when I was seven years old. I wonder if this predisposed me to future problems with the left ear?

Yeah, I understand about being on SSDI and not being able to afford "extras" that should really be essentials. I hope your plate stops piling up too. It already sounds full enough.
