For the past few weeks, I've had one headache after another and incredible pain on the left side of my face. I figured it is yet another sinus infection (the third this year so far :()
I made a doctor's appointment and I'm quite amazed at what she told me. Not only do I have a sinus infection but I apparently have one big old nasty ear infection. Who knew!!! The doctor was pretty amazed to see just how badly infected my whole left side was. Ear, nose, throat, glands, EVERYTHING is badly swollen and infected.
It does make sense... I've been increasingly having trouble hearing. Hubby's been getting more and more frustrated with me because I don't hear him unless he's shouting. So when I mentioned to the doctor that I've had some trouble hearing lately, she said "no wonder! Your ear is basically swollen shut!"
All along, I thought I was loosing my mind and maybe, truly, I just wasn't paying attention when hubby was talking. Hubby thought I was becoming the world's biggest hypochondriac whining and complaining about headaches, toothaches, sore throat... a different ache and pain every day.
I'm not nuts, just infected :p
