More bad news to report. Last week I had a full allergy test along with a CT scan of my sinuses. Everything normal. Glad this is the case but doesn't explain the problems again. Three days later, my right ear was a bit sore and some fullness in that ear. I am a professional musician (oboist and bassoonist) and a music teacher. So, my ears are my livelihood. Went to see the NP (nurse practitioner) and she had more bad news after looking into my ear. Mind you, I have long term tubes in which should last for 3-5 years. Again, I am rewriting the rules on ear problems.
Tube is pushing out with 2 of 3 flanges out of my ear drum. :( Apparently, my body is "rejecting" the tube and pushing it out. What normally takes someone 7-14 days to heal (ear drum ruptured or similar) takes me/my body about 1-2 days. Strangely enough, I have excema which NEVER seems to heal. So, next step is titanium tubes after this one pushes its way out!
We'll see what comes next!~
