Yesterday I reached the halfway point in my college class. I was so dizzy I had no business going – but I’m a guy, so I went anyway. Today I’m dizzy, and my head hurts but my ears are popping so maybe I can ride this out. I have been on oxygen for three years so I really have to be careful but I don’t want to spend $150 for $10 antibiotics if I can avoid it. Yeah, no insurance.
I’m having this today to test the nose and taste buds. I see no reason to drink expensive stuff if I can’t smell or taste it. Taster seems to be almost normal. As long as I don’t go for anything too subtle.

Sorry to hear your not feeling good. Sounds like bad allergies. We’re pretty much in the same zone, I think, & my allergies have been outrageous of late. So bad that I broke down & took Zertek. I don’t take it often, but haven’t been drinking my nettles, & I admit, zertek takes effect pretty fast & since I only take it once in awhile, it’s good for a couple of days.
I take Allegra, Flonase, and Mucinex generics most days to keep me open. My youngest son who still lives with us has pneumonia. I’m keeping my distance.
I used to used ear candles, a long time ago when my kids were young. They can be helpful, but I haven’t used them for a long time.
hot wax in your ears? That sounds dangerously painful. I have on occasion pointed a hair dryer in my ear for several minutes at a time. Feels good while you’re doing it.
We swear by them (the heat and cylindrical shape pull the gunk out’cher ears), but I will never forget our first time. Concerned we might set off the smoke alarm, hubby (the patient) stretched out in the patio lounge chair so we could try it outside. Son, about 5 at the time, so concerned, he stood at the ready with a pitcher of water in case Mom set Dad’s ear on fire. Plus, if you’re as intrigued by gunk and grossness as we are, it’s kind of interesting to see what’s been lurking around the auditory canals and gets sucked up the tube.

Hope you feel better soon!

Ever do ear candles? There is no middle ground; either people love ’em or hate ’em.

Lol, the wax doesn’t actually go in your ears, silly!
