Hi. A couple of weeks ago, I developed
what I thought was a sore throat....But it
didn't seem like strep, it didn't bother
me to eat, or drink....Actually it didn't
bother me at all when I was eating! Now
it just seems like it has been my ear all
along. It is only on the left side,
and doesn't hurt all the time. Usually
worst in the am or late pm. It hurts
when I talk, only when I make certain
sounds....(does that make sense?) and
rarely when I swallow (only a certain
way...) what is going on? I took amox,
when it first started, and it only helped
minimally....So then I assumed it was
viral... Other than that, I feel fine..
Maybe a little tired, but the last 8
months have been over the top stressful!!!
I did recently relocate to an entirely
different region (pollen, etc) wise...Is
it a weird allergy prob? Does anyone
have any advice....
I will go to the Dr., but it is such a
pain, and a bit scary to find a Dr. In a
new town where you don't know many people!
I'd appreciate anything you might share!

Hey there,
it seems i'm suffering the same
from you! I've been hunting for ages,
looking to find some sort of information
on it, fearing the worst, such as cancer
(which my mother just got cleared from!).
"usually worst in the am or late pm"
that's the same too, not all the time,
just occasionally there! Just under the
jaw, where the back of your neck
(tendony/fleshy) meets the front (can feel
the throat), just underneath the jaw line,
do you feel slightly swollen (not much) 2
small lumps, like "beans" the one on the
side of your pain slightly more? I seem
to, and i'm not sure if that's relevant.
Did u ever find anything out about it?
If so, could you let me know? That'd be
great.
Hope it's all good!
Adam
