Ban it?  Whatever for?  Its great for ridding the skin of spots and a whole lot more.  Plus I love the smell, but then maybe Im weird?  

   

Woke up this morning at 3:30am, ear itching like hell. took a couple of aspirins to try and reduce the problem (had already taken 8 cocodamol). 4:00am no result, sprayed the docs antibiotics in. 5:00PM still itching, feel like I want to use a coal rake to stop it. Finally decide that stinging is better than itching so put a few drops of Tea tree oil in.

5:02 realise stinging is no better than itching was, inside of ear is scratched with crumbs of hard skin, these do not respond well to tea tree oil application. Consider ripping off own ear, consider ripping off own face, consider cutting off ear as a compromise. 6:00 stinging subsides enough to realise that I have went into an all over cramp, can hardly move. Gradually stretch muscles to coax them back into some useful shape. 7:00 go back to sleep.

Today hasnt been too bad so far. ear feels like its crammed full of cotton wool again and occasionally there are little stings but nothing bad.

Back to the doctors again, the infection has moved into my sinuses, so ear pain has been replaced by strong headaches. On top of that the ear still feels full and odd.

Doc has a look in both audio orifices and says, "you have a soggy ear." :shock:

So Im on 5 days antibiotics for the sinuses and still on the spray for the ear :/

Getting really interesting, I have a sore throat to add to my problems and Im gobbing out blood and mucous.  

Guess its back to the doctors in the morning.

Seems I was being far too bloody optimistic, I assumed the blood was from my throat, seems I am coughing up bits of lung

Far stronger antibiotics for another week.

thats gotta sting! You are gonna be ok right? Were not going to be sitting here in a few weeks going "what happened to serious?"

At least its looks to be not be something too Serious!

Hope you feel better soon fella!

Get well soon

Only rates an irritant, I should be OK.

Got no idea, as I said it started as an ear infection and has gone walkabout.



Thanks for the good wishes
