If I get dunked under water, go swimming, or any sort of head cold, I always get an ear infection. Usually "middle ear", sometimes inner. Had "tubes" when I was a kid to help with middle ear infections also, but that's not uncommon.

Only thing to do is get some antibiotics, drink some nyquil, and wait a few days. Usually they only hurt like hell for a day or 2. On those days I don't play well with others. Vertigo has never really been a problem for me either.

Wrag, for a minute there I thought you were saying that you got some nose drops from Dr. No.

You're right, he should have said "Have R2 take you to your OB/GYN."

Put some soap on the end of a screwdriver and jam it in there hard. When you cant hear the screwdriver anymore, but feel something pointy caressing your brain your far enough. Wiggle it about abit to get the system properly cleaned and remove the screewdriver.

Repeat every morning. If you do it long enough your infection will be gone. A side effect is that you may turn republican. If you already are then nevermind.

Thankfully the ear infection is largely gone.

I stopped taking that meclizine stuff yesterday. If you are ever out of sleeping pills and need to sleep, take em!

It will take care of itself. Nothing else gonna help. John Glenn had same problem as I recall back in Mercury days.

I went through several years of having labyrinthitus and was signed off sick for a few months back in 1996 (ended up having to change jobs from a mechanic/engineer to a desk job because of safety concerns). Nothing more frustrating and demotivating that suffering from vertigo! Luckily I haven't had any problems for about 6 or 7 years. Hope you feel better soon!
