Personal request, please?

This is not about my cats (sorry) but it's about me....
I have had a terrible cold / sore throat, etc. for about a week now. Yesterday I woke up with pink eye in my left eye, and during the night last night my left ear was killing me!!! I took 3 Ibuprofens and laid in the bed blowing my hairdryer in my ear to try and stop the pain!!! Once the pain started to settle down I turned and laid with my left ear down on the pillow. Suddenly I got a series of very sharp and strange pains in my ear. A bit later I got up to go to the restroom and my ear was bleeding, and had bled on my pillow. It is still bleeding off an on! I think maybe my eardrum ruptured?

Anyway, I am going to try and see the doctor today .... please pray for my ear!!!

Many prayers coming your way. Hopefully (and probably) it is due to the virus giving you the other cold symptoms. Let us know ASAP what you find out. {{{{HUGS}}}}

OH Kim! That sounds so painful. I'm so sorry that you feel so bad. Prayers are on the way for you. I hope you feel better soon and let us know what the doc says. Bless your heart!

Good luck at the doctors!

[Sirrahsim]

having been a victim of frequent ear drum ruptures in my youth (which was not so very long ago ) I can sympathize with what you're going through it really is miserable when you have all that pressure, but didn't it feel a bit better once it finally ruptured? I hope you get well soon!!

P.S. even with my eardrums rupturing about once a month or so for a few years, I'm good as can be now. No problems with my hearing at all, hopefully your doctor will fix you right up Feel better and remember that kitties make the best hotwater bottles!

Poor Kim,
this sounds like an inflammation of the middle ear...it's very rare in adults and usually only kids have it, because their ear channels are much shorter than those of adults...
I had this before Christmas for the first time and it was horrible pain in the ear and I didn't had full hearing for at least three weeks.
If it's that you really need antibiotics and should consult a doctor...
Hope you get well soon...relax and stay in bed with the cats!!!

It sounds very much as if your eardrum has ruptured. I had the same symptoms with a bad cold a few years ago. Like bisi.cat, it was some weeks before my hearing came back on that side. I got peace once I went back to work - I couldn't hear what anyone said to me. It had it's advantages!

Good luck at the doctors.

Kim, I am so sorry to hear about your ear and your nasty cold and sore throat. I hope the doctor can give you something to help. Meanwhile let your kitties administer purr therapy.
HUGS to you and hope you are feeling better soon.

That's horrible! It does sound like an ear-drum problem! Good luck and hope all goes well!

[catnapper]

Boor baby! Many prayers going out to a healthy ear! I can't imagine how you must feel! Please feel better soon.

Kim, my prayers and positive thoughts are on the way that you are able to see a doctor today and that you have a full and complete recovery from all your ailments.

Please let us know what the doctor says and I hope your pain has eased up some.

[jazzcat]

Ouch, that sounds terrible. Hope the doc can give you some relief.

You're in my thoughts and prayers.

[Felicia's Mom]

That sounds horrible. Prayers going out for you!

Sorry, but I can't imagine what you are going through. I don't get earaches very often and those are not very painful.


Best of luck at the doctors. Let us know how you made out.

Thoughts and prayers coming your way!!

Hang in there and let us know how you make out.
