Can you hear me now?

For a couple months, I've woken up every so often with the sensation of pressure in my right ear. It usually cleared up within an hour or two, so I ignored it as congestion. Then over the past week, it's been every morning, and more than a couple hours. Yesterday it didn't clear up at all. Same thing today. It feels positively clogged, and if I put on headphones it's pretty clear any sound from the right is seriously muffled.

Mind you, I'm an adult, out of college, and still unemployed... which means no medical insurance whatsoever.

Mom gave me some eardrops and some decongestant. Let's hope that's all it really needed.

Might just be earwax. Take an eyedropper and some hydrogen peroxide, put a couple drops in the offending ear, then flush it out after a half-hour. Works like a charm.

Ick. That sucks. Being without health insurance can turn otherwise minor problems into big worries. You can't see a doctor, so you have to hope it won't get worse.

That's twisted . . . My left ear has been doing the same thing for months now. One of [livejournal.com profile] demonblade's ears has been doing it too.

. . . Conspiracy?
