Fucking illnesses suck ass.

On Thursday afternoon I started get a feeling of “fullness” in my left ear, nothing major, thought it was just my hay fever.

Got progressively worse and ended going to the local walk in center (out of hours drs) and got prescribed a course of anti biotics.

I know they take time to kick in and I won’t feel any effects for a day or two, but fuck me I feel rougher than a badgers arse.

I assume I have ruptured my ear drum as my ear is leaking, but the swelling means I can’t close my mouth properly, the pressure makes it feel like my head is going to burst.

    @oudalally thanks, first time in 33 years I’ve ever had an ear infection this bad (that I remember) sadly my work laptop is still on order so I had to spend the day feeling sorry for myself, rather than doing something useful.

    @oudalally not really, got some co-codamol from the pharmacy, but doesn’t seem to have helped much.

    If anything the pain is getting worse and worse.

    Looks like I’ll be going back to the GP tomorrow. I know the antibiotics won’t have taken effect yet, but even with pain killer it wakes me up in the middle of the night. It’s 01:22am now

    @kenogo not sure, the GP gave me ear drops yesterday so I don’t think it’s perforated.

    I thought that it might just have been the amount of pressure behind the ear drum.

    Not sure how it got infected, but I think that my new gym headphones might have agitated my ear canal and then sweat and stuff might have gotten into it
