Help /Advice Please Blocked Eustachian Tube/Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy

July 18, 2009

I have had a problem with my left ear for close to 10 years now.

It has caused me much hate and discontent for it will make me dizzy and once I

get moving it will be fine. It seems to bother me when I get sinusitis which I

have a chronic condition for.

A couple of months ago I developed a sinus infection--went to the doctor-told

her I was feeling faint while sleeping--waking up only after going to sleep,

feeling faint, nausea and could not go back to sleep, she gave me a course of

antibiotics. Well, it went away for awhile and started back again--much worse

and I ended up in the ER--they sent me home-nothing wrong with your lungs-heart

or abdomen, see ya later.

The following day I went back to the doctors and saw a different one for I could

not get into my PCP--he told me the eustachian tube is what is causing me these

problems. Took me off of the other meds and gave me a good talking to about not

letting this get so far out of hand.

Does any one have any good homeopathic suggestions as to how to make /help this

tube become unclogged so I can get some sleep??

I have been on the new meds for 5 days now and have a FU apt. with the doctor on

Mon.

I just want this thing to open up--get a good night sleep from not having the

motion sickness.

Also--they took a Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy test--while the normal is above 30--mine

is down to 15, which is low--if any one could suggest a good vitamin D along

with calcium for me to take so I can bring this up I would greatly appreciate

it.

Also--thanks for all those who inquired about my synthroid--my TSH was

11.5--being off the synthroid for almost 2 months--that is what my levels have

been on/off the meds--any help with this one would also be appreciated.

Thanks so much

Izabel,

Your story sounds very familiar. In 2004 I started having what seemed to be

a heartbeat in my ear occasionally. It came and went for a couple of days

and then turned into an earache. I went to the doctor and they did not see

any signs of an infection but gave me antibiotics anyway. Said it was the

eustachian tube and just needed to drain properly. After the bottle of

antibiotics, I still had an earache. Went back and was told this is a common

problem and they did not see anything wrong and there was nothing can can

do. I was to live with the pain for the rest of life if it did not go away.

That was just not a good enough answer for me so I went online and found

millions and millions of people that had the same problem. Most had all been

to multiple doctors and got the same response. The majority was affected in

the same ear, the right side, which I thought was strange. I really felt

hopeless and lived with the ear pain for 1.5 years. I started having some

pain in my face and decided to go one more time to the ENT. I walked out of

there, really pissed off. He told me I had acid reflux and to take a little

purple pill. I refused to take a purple pill and I refused to believe that

there was no cause or cure for this. I spoke to some people in the herb and

vitamin shop and was referred to a doctor who practiced chiropactic,

homepathic, and naturpathic medicine. I called him and he said to come on by

that evening. He worked on me for about an hour and when I walked out of

there, I not only did not have an earache, but I felt like I was 16 again. I

started feeling better and better as days went by. I would be afraid to say

what he found was the root of my ear pain because everyone is different. I

highly recommend if you do not have someone who does holistic medicine to

find one close to your area and see what they can do for you. Another thing

to know is the antibiotics are extremely dangerous. I have had to do a lot

of work to rid the effects of using them previously. I took Levaquin in

April this year for a sinus infection and now I have Atrial Fibrillation.

Had I known that Levaquin was linked to causing this heart disease, I

probably would not have taken it. My sinus infection was not even curable

with antibiotics because it was pulips. After being treated conventionally

from February to April with no success, I again went to the holistic doctor

and he cured me for a mear 60.00. Now I am seeing him for the AFIB.

I wish you the best,

Sandy
