   This is wack! (Allergies board)

Ok, so my ear is popping a lot today, and not sure if it is making me worse, or better. My jaw is also popping a lot next to my ear, but i have a slipped disc in my jaw so I'm used to that. But my ear is weird! It actually hurts a little when it does pop. I think it has lot to do w/the Prednisone and the Ceftin. I'm still just as dizzy. I had to leave the house tonight to go to store and run other errands and got dizzier. I swear the dust and pollins just make their way into my sinus passages so easliy and because I'm so sensitive they just swell so fast. GGGRRRR! My ENT actually said that he recommends people like me wear a mask when their out of the house to keep stuff out of their nose. LOL! He said mose don't because it is annoying and embaressing, but he did say that if I really want to get better I should think about doing that. Yeah right, can you imagine me out an about w/a surgeon mask on? What would y'all do?

prednisone is a funny drug. for me my strangest symptom is my bright red cheeks I get while taking it(and let me tell you- I NEVER blush- I have no red undertones to my skin)lol.. anyways sounds like the wonderful condition eustachian tube dysfunction.. ya notice how the more your ears hurt, the more dizzy you are? yup their all connected. doesn't it suck? for me sudafed severe congestion, flonase & clarinex are enough to get me through the day, though sometimes I need some extra "boosts" like a benadryl at nite, another nasal spray, singulair, etc. prednisone can make you dizzy b/c of how it messes with your blood sugar. i'm assuming you are on a low dose if you are able to go out- my average dose is 60mg per day & that keeps me dead in bed hehe, no energy, can't eat- mad acid reflux, dizzy, naueasos, all around SICK! but i'm sure it can have effects like that at lower doses.
as far as the ceftin goes, i'm sure that also can make you kinda icky also.
but most likely your dizziness is from your ETD.

Well, I am back from the hospital. Had the CTscan. My maxillary's are so inflamed and infected! It is ugly! My ENT wants me to take Levaquin, but I can't since i am allergic to cipro, and he thinks this would be what knocks this out. So, for now I taking Ceftin and if that doesn't work i am goin to take Augmentin.

I did irrigate last night and it did help a bit. I feel so dizzy though after I irrigate, but you know I'm dizzy all the time, so at this point I'll irrigate. I may try the stuff you suggest Chiggans. I just wish there was something that got rid of this dizziness. It is so strange.

Anyhow, I'm at home all day and going to get some rest. I do have some pain killers my ENT has prescribed so i will feel drousy all day, yuck.
