With my #headphones turned up the max, I can just about make out some voices. On the other hand, I do believe at least the drops are working. My original ear is now much clearer inside, but still blocked.My #ear is currently hurting, even with #painkillers in my system. I've started losing the opposite ear too. I can barely hear anything right now.

I start hearing a #drumbeat and realise it's my heart, then the pain pulsates to the same beat. 2. I really hate the #eardrops - it's not painful, I just really don't like the idea of putting something in my ear. 3. The #painkillers are making me feel awful - perhaps as a result of also being on #keto ? 4. I'm losing #weight quite rapidly.Currently feeling #sick as a dog due to this #ear #infection - and now I suspect the other ear may be screwed too. I guess this could be the work of the #painkillers I'm taking too, especially given I don't have any #carbs to balance out the effects. I'll be sure to research this more for the #keto #book as part of the #csbooks project.

Apparently it was slightly green and red, although he seemed quite surprised I wasn't #ill as a result. Can probably thank my #keto #immunity for that. The #doctor also took a look at the other ear and found it was a little weird - something I've known for a long time.Currently in the process of trying to get a #doctors #appointment for my #ear - they are fully booked but will see what they can do. There's a high chance I have an #infection and need #antibiotics - unfortunately you can't get them over the counter. Every time the #painkillers wear off I'm screwed again, so ideally I can get an appointment today so I don't have to rely on them so much. I can see how people can get a #painkiller #addiction - it's a little like being drunk but you're still alert.
