Steph, I had an attack of vertigo about two weeks ago that seemed to be due to a sinus infection. My ear on one side was completely stuffed up, but as it went on, I could also feel pressure in my sinuses. I took some Sudafed and it helped. It was a very weird sensation and concentrating on the computer made it worse.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

(((Teppy))) The benadryl will eventually help a clogged ear if you keep taking it. Keep using the ear wax stuff too, even if it hasn't helped yet.
(((Deena))) I'm sorry you had to deal with that with the pharmacy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh, Deena, I'm sorry.
The insurance company had denied it.
OMG, I hate that! Hubby keeps wanting to sue them for practicing medicine without a license, for second guessing the doctors.
Heh. The short-tempered but frequently awesome nurse with whom I work spent Friday afternoon yelling almost those very words at some insurance company middle management functionary. After a lengthy hold and lengthier back-and-forth about some expensive but worky drug, she yelled, "Goddamnit, you're practicing medicine without a license and I hope someone sues you...YES, YOU ARE. The doctor knows his patient and knows what works and what doesn't, and he isn't picking a drug out of a hat, and when you second-guess him and deny it you're practicing medicine. And you don't have any idea what you're doing, and you need to stop."
Bless her.

Went to the doctor, and she pulled out a ball of wax at least an inch in diameter.
I had the earwax thing when I was a kid, too. It was probably only half an inch though. The doctor used a tool that looked like eye end of a big needle. The was was a really dark color, and the ball of wax was hard.
