For the past month I have been having trouble with ear pain. I went to the ER probably 3 weeks ago and they said it was pressure in my inner ear, so I've been taking sudifeed and they gave me high dose of pain pills. Well normally this has been working for me but not last night. It started around 10:30 pm and my ear started to hurt so right away I took 2 sudifeed and 1 of my pain pills. That seemed to help for a little bit, so I decided to watch a movie before going to bed. Well around 1:30 am, my ear started to hurt really bad again. Now I can't take any more sudifeed for another 2 hours and my pain pill for another 3 hours, so what was I supposed to do? Well, I ended up trying to just deal with it and bear it because I really didn't want to overdose myself. That lasted for about half an hour and I started crying because I was in so much pain. I ended up taking another sudifeed, and 2 Tylenol. Again, nothing worked I was still in excruciating pain. Now it was 2:30 am and I still had yet to fall asleep, despite being exhausted. I ended up just laying there in bed for another two hours hoping for something to kick in and for the pain to stop. Well, 4:30 came and went and I was still awake, and still in pain. So I went back downstairs to see what else I could possibly take to make the pain stop, I ended up taking another one of my pain pills in hopes that it might work this time, which it didn't. 6:00 am came and I was so tired and just wanted to sleep and for the pain to stop. I got my computer out and Goggled how to cure ear pain at home. They said to put olive oil in your ear (just a couple drops) and luckily we had some downstairs. So I went downstairs again, got some olive oil on a Q-Tip and stuck it in my ear a couple times. I went back upstairs and laid down with that ear up for about an hour. I don't know if it helped but it felt funny and I wanted to think that it would help. Well around 8:00 my ear FINALLY started to stop hurting and I made myself go to sleep. I got about 3 hours of sleep before my mom comes in and tells me to wake up. So now my ear is full of olive oil, hurting again, and I feel like a zombie from all the pain pills and no sleep. It is going to be a very interesting day!
Peace & Love
