For the first time in weeks I can finally hear something from my right ear (I posted incorrectly last time about my left ear). The biggest issue I have right now is #back #pain for which I've taken some #ibuprofen #painkillers for, much less than I was taking previously. I hope today is the last time I take painkillers for a long time now.I think I have this #ear #infection pretty much under control now, I just managed to get some crap out of my left ear and I can now #hear out of it again. I'm hoping this is the end of it...

I can barely hear anything right now.A few things I've noticed about this #ear #infection - 1. I can feel when the #painkillers have worn off and it's time to take more. 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.

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.

Just now I popped 2 #ibuprofen , 2 #paracetamol , 1 #antibiotic and 1 #multivitamin ! Then I have to do a #ear drop - which actually quite hurts in itself. Can't wait until this #infection goes, it's quite literally a #pain !

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.I actually managed to sleep last night due to the modern wonder combination of #ibuprofen and #paracetamol - but my #ear is still in trouble. I suspect it is #infected as I found a bright yellow discharge from it this morning, which looking online is supposed to be the colour you would expect from an #infection ...I need to book an appointment to see the #doctor this morning to get a course of #antibiotics - who knew accidentally #sleeping on your #headphones could cause so much issue!
