Interesting. Now that I think about it I've been having problems with my left ear getting closed up and everything sounding muffled except I can hear my breath through my ear like through my sinus. I don't know if that could be anything. I thought it was just allergies but this year is the first time it's happened and it's been going on for months. The doctor cleaned out my ear with hydrogen peroxide and water and I could hear properly again but it had clogged up again. It's always on the left side. I use wax removing drops fairly regularly but they don't help.

About the glutanates...what kinds of meds are aimed at glutanates? I'm on metformin, is that one of them?
