It's one thing after another these past couple of weeks. I've been waking up randomly with a blocked ear for a while now but it usually clears as soon as I get up. It corresponds with a blocked sinus that I have on one side. I get allergies but why they should affect one side more than the other I don't know.
Anyway, two days ago I woke up and my right ear was completely blocked and I haven't been able to clear it since. My hearing is quite limited now on that side. I went to the Dr and he told me I had an adult version of glue ear which will clear on its own but will take up to a month! The worst thing is the fatigue and foggy headedness that I've got. I feel as though I'm underwater the whole time. Everything is distant and it's basically a horrible feeling of disassociation that makes me feel awful. I stupidly googled and of course the internet is full of people who have been stuck with this condition for years as it can't really be treated:( I was feeling so good before Christmas but now I feel sick and exhausted and just want to curl up in bed. I wish I just knew that they would end. Feeling spaced out like this is a major trigger for my anxiety.
