Awww darn bugs...grrrr.

Feel better dear one..

Hope you feel better quickly Erika

Thanks for your well wishes.

The most recent symptoms have begun to settle down .

Saw the a doc at a walk-in clinic (couldn't get into my regular guy). He found a perforation in my right eardrum with some blood and crud leaking out of the hole. He said that an infection in the middle ear had built up enough pressure to cause the perforation (quite common apparently). He was surprised that I hadn't had an earache or hearing loss, but I told him that due to the severity of the headache along with the already present hearing loss and constant ringing in the ears (have had that for months due to MS nerve stuff), that it probably didn't register.

He also said that the tonsils are inflamed, so it looks like the infection is an ear, throat kind of thing.

A course of oral antibiotics and the eardrum should heal up good as new on its own within a couple of months. He figures that the other symptoms are probably due to the infection, so the antibiotics (and a few things out of my own bag of tricks - LOL), should settle things down.

With love, Erika

Erika, so that's why your MS symptoms have been flaring. Nothing like a good old fashion infection to cause just that!!

Maybe if you follow thru with the AB, your infection will subside and so will the MS flare.

That's definitely the plan, Sally.
Momma didn't raise no fool .

With love, Erika

Hope you feel better soon, Erika!

Infections and MS just go hand in hand through life together, don't they? One just feeds off the other...

It's like fighting two enemies instead of one!

Well said Keely!
