...at 9am. Looks like the sleeping pills I got last week are actually working, although I only have a weeks supply and then I see how it goes.

Asked for an appointment with any doctor for an ear problem. Ten to ten I was in. Said to the doc, "I think I have an ear infection."

Doctor looked into my ears, "you have an ear infection. Have you been using anything?"

Me, "tea tree oil, it seems to help keep the infection down."

Doctor, "probably saved you from a trip to the hospital."

So I have a little bottle of spray-in-your-ear antibiotics to use for the next week. Hearing on the left side is still rather poor though. Feels like its stuffed full of cotton wool and still slightly painful.

Im banned from drinking alcohol too.

Damn, damn, damn :cry:  :cry:

I feel your pain, I had an ear infection, or ear something at least, for a good month last year.  Im not one for taking drugs unless absolutely required, but the pain in my ear was so bad I went to Tesco Express at midnight to get painkillers.  It was driving me nuts and I couldnt sleep.

Its funny you say youve been using Tea Tree Oil, I did too :)

Incidently Im off work ill today.  Got flu for the first time since I was in primary school.

Ear infections are painful :( there is a coucgh syrup containg morphine that works very well, you need a prescription though.

I have about 150 x 30/500 co-codamol tablets (methylmorphine + paracetamol) and about the same number of aspirin, plus a few other bits and pieces lying around near to me. Thankfully I started treating it before it became really bad. ATM its itching a little and feels stuffed up but its not too bad.

Its like borrowing from a loan shark, sooner or later you have to pay it back, plus interest...
