Tomorrow I'll be seeing my GP in Auburn, and interestingly enough, it has nothing to do with ITP... I do believe this is a first. However.. quite unfortunately.. it has to do with my ears. Ugh! They've been clogged, and popping, and cracking, and hurting off and on ever since mid November. I've tried almost everything and I'm getting a little desperate. I called her last week to let her know that, and inform her that I had to stop the nasal spray due to the headache it was giving me. It was then that she informed me that they won't refer me to an ENT... they only do that for emergencies. Well now.. I don't know what constitutes an 'emergency', but I'm a musician.. and there's something wrong with my ears..... EMERGENCY!!!!!
I got a medical book called "ENT Secrets". It's an extremely hard read.. considering it's written for 3rd year med students to be able to understand.... but it's helped a little, and if anything, it's a really nice reference to have for future…well...reference.
In the mean time, I've been rinsing my sinuses out with sea salt and baking soda. Never..ever..have I intentionally inflicted so much pain on myself. It's unruly. But after it's all done and I give it a few minutes, it feels really good. Gotta loose some to win some...or something like that.
