I suffer from ear infections on a fairly regular basis, not every year but I'd say 2 out of 3 years I get one. I have always put it down to flying, which I do a fair bit of, and regular swimming. GP has never been concerned and i had a hearing test last year through work which came back fine.
But of course this time I am in full HA mode and it's not a simple ear infection that will clear up in a few days but a brain abscess or even a brain tumour. Yes, it is painful but no more so than when I have had them before. I have even got the slight sore throat and tiredness I get every time.
One part of me knows full well this is just another bog-standard ear infection, yet there's still the voice in my head telling me it's something far more serious.
This is what I am like and I know it's ridiculous. Last week it was a ruptured spleen because my shoulder ached in the night, week before that it was kidney failure. Both the spleen and the kidneys appear to have made a miraculous recovery,I hope the brain tumour can do the same. :wacko:
