glue ear with CLL

[Corin850]

hi. I have glue ear. Anyone any experience? It’s really tiring. Only had it a few days. Should I force myself out to walk etc. Will it go away ??

Oh! How do you know? Have you been examined? What treatment was recommended? It may not merely disappear!

In diving class they have us pinch out nostrils shut, then *gently* try to blow out our nose, to clear eardrums. Once you know what that feels like, some of us (myself included) can do it without having to pinch our noses. It's a useful trick when changing altitudes too, going over mountain passes. Chewing gum is also said to help.

If an attempt to clear your eardrums like this causes any pain, we were told to see a doc. Do you have allergies, are pollens coming out that could be kicking up mucus that's blocking your ears?

Hi Corin850 I hope you don't develop Vertigo because of the glue ear. I have always had ear problems narrow ear canals wax can't escape like it should now under ENT and thankfully having no problems tinnitus but think that comes with age, have got used to the orchestra. Vertigo can be serious so take it easy and hope you soon get sorted.

I had nosebleeds all the time when I was a kid ...

... the last "big one" I had years ago, the Doctor shoved silver nitrate up both nostrils ...

... I should have guessed that it wasn't going to be a walk in the park when he told me right before he did it, "You're not going to like me very much after this." ...

... good times ... good times ...
