Chiggins, thanks for the feedback.
I actually did tell my ENT about the fact that I passed out.
But since I saw a Neurologist who said that I may have had a febrile seizure, the ENT said that what I was experiencing was due to my "Brian Disorder". I asked him if it was possible if I had something going on in my middle ear or inner ear and he said that it was not very common for adults to have ear infections.
When I told my Neurologist about the very clogged feeling in my ear and the odd sensation of having liquid in my ear, he said that he had never heard of such a thing.
I then told the ENT that was very very allergic to dust and smoke. Reason I told him this is I had recently moved out of my tremendously dusty apartment and had been in Southern California when the fires were going on. He said that yeah my sinuses were really inflammed but he suggest that I take sudafed.
I also thought that it was kind of odd that the ENT would not place any importance on my allergies since my Neurologist said that he had no idea why I had a seizure. The Neuro also said that febrile seizures are not very common at all in adults ( I am 33).
Only good thing about this whole ordeal is that as my ear and nose congestion fades my ability to think and remember things is coming back more and more.
Which leads me to believe that while I may of had the flu, I definately was affected in a very bad way by somekind of inflammation in my ears.
Also far as meds:
Right now I am only on seizure meds Dilantin 500 mg at night, Keppra 500 mg in the morning and 500 mg at about 4PM.
Prior to getting sick I was on Hydroclorothiazide and Nasarel.
I was immediately taken off of the Hydro and the Nasarel because
the Hydro drys the body out and the Nasarel allows infections to really take hold for some reason.
I just got some saline solution for my nose to see what it does.
Sorry for the long post. I am still kind all over the place when it come to thinking.
