I hope they have you on some heavy duty antibiotics too, Rainbowzz. Hope those pain meds work. What is T3?

Ear infections can be so painful and yours sounds like a monster. Sometimes putting a hot water bottle on the ear can ease the pain a little.

Thanks hun.

Today they changed me to a more "heavy duty" antibiotic, and while im still about the same, i think i might actually feel, a TEENSY bit better. Doc said my ear looks a tiny bit better too. So progress but still struggling.

T3 - Tylenol 3 , or tylenol with codeine. It wasn't even touching my pain so the doc stepped me up to morpheine because I was literally ( and i mean literally i almost collapsed at his office) brought to my knees from the pain.

So im combining the morpheine with ibuprofen for the swelling, and as long as i stay on top of it, im good. its when i fall asleep for a long time i wake up in horrible pain and have to quickly take my meds and try to sleep until they kick in.

Im doing the hot water cloth thing at the moment - i tried the bottle and a magic bag, but found the pressure on my ear too sensitive so i just keep soaking a hot cloth to lay on my ear.

Thanks again
