Hi, I hope youre all as well as can be.

I have been having awful earaches and popping in both ears. went to Gp and he said my Eustacian ucian tubes are blocked,, this is also causing head tingling all day now for nearly a year.

Any advice greatly appreciated please.

Thank you and take care

Kind wishes and hugs

Bubba

I only had this issue for a short while, so really feel for you that it’s been an ongoing problem bubba. I managed to resolve my symptoms using Sterimar nasal spray. I also find this useful to alleviate hay fever in the summer months.

I get a pain that starts in my neck and extends up to my ear. When I don’t take enough Thyroid. (NDT). It’s normally only on one side - can be left or right. Fixed within 30 min of taking 30mg of NDT.

I know how you feel because mine have been blocked for years.

I bought the Otovent Nasal Balloon to try and alleviate the problem, but it didn't help. Doesn't mean that it wouldn't work for you though.

Available from various sources and on-line and it wasn't horrendously expensive.

you could try just old fashioned steam ie putting your head over bowl of steam under a towel and breath using your abdominals. Do it for a few days.

If you have crackling sound in your ears, you have an ear infection, as the muck ferments. See another doctor.

Hi, I have an ongoing problem with my ears. I use a nasal spray (Flixonase) which my Doctor prescribes, but you can buy the same one at the Chemist under the name of Pirinase. I use it every day, not just in hay fever season. When I squirt it up my nose I immediately put my head on the side to help it reach my ears for a few minutes, then do the same the other side. I think this reaches your ears better than inhaling, I didn't have much luck with that.

Hope this helps!

I think he’s just guessing , do you have any pain in neck or jaw?? A rarer symptom of hashimotos is pain in jaw radiating to ear

Hi Jaybrooke, thank you for reply. Gp's are useless and just do not understand Thyroid Disease at all, even Neurologist are not very knowledgeable.

Yes I do get Jaw and teriible neck pain, also lots of body parathesia. I have had an Ultra sound which has revealed a growth, so I'm having further tests done. I also hve a lesion in my spine which I've recently had a MRI scan done, so again waiting for results. That's all one does these days is wait, wait, wait!

Thank you and I'm sending you a hug

Take care

Kind regards

I lost faith in doctors and endocrinologists years ago I got very little help from them , when I would describe my symptoms they would say no that’s nothing to do with your thyroid, how wrong they all were. I became ill in 1995 , fine and normal on the Tuesday awoke on the Wednesday feeling I’d been hit by a truck, pains in joints and muscles, numbness and pins and needles from head to toe, dizziness , foggy brain, inner tremors, thudding heart palpitations, sore throat area, jaw and ear, difficulty swallowing, dreadful fatigue , I was given no thyroid meds suffered for nearly five years before I went private and was prescribed thyroxine which did help to a degree lessened some symptoms but still felt so poorly . I now self medicate I take thyrogold similar to armour NDT , amazing the difference it made to my life most symptoms disappeared or eased . Best wishes jay
