Say what?

First and foremost my apologies for not updating my blog. Thank you so much for returning to check on me. I confess I'm not 100% myself lately. A bit under the weather, I'm afraid.

It all started about 2 weeks ago when I woke up in the morning and realised that my hearing was somehow 50% muffled. It felt as if you are on a high altitude like in a plane or when you are driving up on a hill whereby you need to constantly swallow your saliva to unblock your ears. But I wasn't sick or having a fever, maybe a slight sore throat but not too bad. Anyways hubby forced me to go to the clinic. My usual panel clinic was not open so I went to a different one. GP confirmed my ears were not blocked due to wax (yup, that was what I was accused of by my dear husband :p). I was given antibiotic to combat infection (of what the GP didn't care to explain -maybe thinking I'm too stupid to understand) and I was really not in the mood to argue - yes Mr. Doctor just try that medical jargon on me and see whether any of it that I don't understand.

To cut the long winded story short, even after the antibiotic, ear block and giddy pills were long gone unfortunately the on and off one sided headache, neck pain and constant hearing block still persist. Today for example, my left head was threatening to explode whilst my hearing was again muffled but I managed to ignore the pain simply bcos I just have too many things to settle. So sometimes when I reached home I was too tired even to lift one eye lid open. As what is happening now.

I better end this now and get the much needed sleep. Nighty nite everybody.
