    Have you been swimming? I just heard a segment on the news about *swimmer's ear* where you get an infection from the bacteria which is in the water.

    My ear is still hurting quite a bit. I've been taking tylonol everytime it wears off. Hopefully I'll get some drops, or something, at the doctors.

    I hate emergancy rooms. Some of those people did sound like they were dying, and nothing was being done.

    I actually was swimming on Saturday. Not sure if it would three days to start hurting?

    I'll find out soon

    RIP Jasper. I can't believe you're gone.

    I'm glad you are going to see the doctor this morning, but try not to worry, it will be okay. Please update us on what he/she recommends.

    Ear problems can come on suddenly without any warning. A few years ago, I all of a sudden got so dizzy I couldn't stand up. I was rushed by ambulance to the E.R. It turned out to be an ear infection that had gotten into the inner ear and caused labrynthitis. It took several weeks to clear up - several weeks of vertigo that was so bad I couldn't walk, drive or go to work.

    Everyone, who's sitting home with medical problems thinking they'll just go away by themselves, please stop it - get thee to a doctor, NOW! You only have one body in this lifetime, please take care of it. If you're not a doctor, please see a professional.

    Sounds like it could be otitis externa, which is an outer ear infection. Can sometimes happen from having a small scratch or someting you may not even notice and with the swimming it's a good possibility. Could also be an inner ear infection that has caused the external part to be infected as well. Antibiotics from your doctor should clear it up. It's pretty common and not something to be overly concerned about once you see your doctor. Good luck, hope you feel better soon.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    My doctor said it was my TM Joint? causing the pain, since it was mostly in my jaw, and hurt to open my mouth. I'm still not sure that would make my entire ear sore? Oh well. I've got some meds to take for it, and will go back if it still bothers me.

    Thanks again everyone. I know I worry over nothing
