Hi and thanks for your replies- I know you didnt mean to scare me- Believe me I am so scared already- I cant think of anything I am doing to make is spread- its just got a crappy mind of its own. The steroid Im gonna try is Methylprednisolone...Did either of you try that- Today besides my wrsits being painful my right ear is hurting in the canal- my whole right arm/shoulder muscles hurt a lot so I am sure it can involve the ear too...Just wish there was something I could do. I did do the hyperbaric but unfortunatley it didnt work for me but i kow some people that it helped a lot! good luck with that..Abaski- where do u live? I am in NY
