Really really really, it sucks so bad its not funny. Sorry for the language, but after having dealt with it for the past year you just tend not to give a shet.

6 months ago i was diagnosed with it and 2 days after that i had the operation that follows most people with it. Not the ventilation tubes, but just the sucking of the mucus from my ear. The first doctor I went too scared me alot and told me that I had to get the operation immediately if not i would go deaf in 2-3 days. The family doctor did it practically for free and went through with the operation.

8 months later or 2 months ago whatever floats the boat, I had the same problem, started hearing as though i was covering my ear... this is my present state.... I went to another doctor, scared us with his prices, not too good... but told us i wasn't gonna go deaf anytime soon. The other just needed money. I went too a acupuncturist, she made me feel good and taught me the method to decongestant myself temporarily. She said it would heal it eventually. Ofcouse iam a ignorant guy and have a short attention span and want things done quick. Iam tired of the pain in my ear, the operation that rids of the mucus is a temporary relief and a painful process, I dont want it, but as a last resort it will happen. I was taken a mexican medication, which i believe has its american version, 3 different meds, Augmentin, Grifed, Surifed, and a nasal spray called Unicar or Rinocor. For all that i spend about 150 in mexico or 300 here in the US. Ither way Augmentin is an antibiotic, Grifed is for allergies or its a deconjestant or somethign like Claritin D and the other one i might be confusing with Grifed or it might be a the one for my allergies, and the nasal spray Unicar is also a deconjestant like Grifed i think.


Sorry for the ultra long post, but its hard to find solutions at home.
