my 100th fucking ear infection god dammit

lawson · 12-05-2003, 12:35 PM

i get these damn things way to fucking much. antibiotics take too long, and motrin barely masks the pain. he asked if i wanted anything harder but i've never been into pain pills like some people. i had some codiene once and i gave it away after using 3. but maybe i should've said yes god damn this shit sucks ass balls mother fucker aaaack.

<3. i'm sorry. i think i'm getting strep. but umm.... hmm.. maybe you should call your doctor. they may be able to write out a prescription for you to just pick up and get filled.

You should ask for IBU 800 (Ibuprofen 800 MG). Unlike standard pain killers, they don't affect alertness or clarity and don't cause drowsiness or hyperactivity.

true i have been known to scratch in there with the pinky nail but i havent been doing it since my last ear infection when i thought well maybe that's why i get them. i think its probably just from being around kids- i already got sick once since i started teaching so i guess this is number two. they told me i'd be sick for the first, oh ya know, yea. and then i would be immune to everything *prays*

It must be all the (insert your favorite band here) you listen to.

But yeah, sucks.

I don't know anything about ear infections, so I dunno...but I think that the best thing would be just to take the stronger pain killers, and just rest for as long as you can. Don't do more than you have to. It's great that you're willing to grit your teeth and go to work and all that...but sometimes it's better for everyone if you stay home and rest for a day. Your body needs time to replenish itself.

lol i actually dont listen to loud music since my middle/high school headphones and pumpkins, nin days, and when i practice or play a show i wear earplugs like a wuss.

Hah! What do you play?
I need to get some good earplugs that actually reduce the volume instead of just making it unintelligible.

blackfaerie · 12-05-2003, 12:54 PM

do you CLEAN the earplugs?!

lol really i usually use tissue cause i dont like the idea of reusing earplugs but if you dont it'll get expensive.

thanks for the love, guys.

blackfaerie · 12-05-2003, 12:57 PM

good for you! i was worried that your ear infections were caused by non-clean earplugs. thank you for proving me wrong.

did you tell your doc what you use as earplugs?

that's what i was thinking.

lawson · 12-05-2003, 01:24 PM

cotton maybe. im waiting until a little closer to work time to take another motrin 800mg. of course maybe i should just give in and pop them ib'z

I_was_aborted · 12-05-2003, 01:26 PM

Cotton can cause an ear infection, its actually a yeast infection. Even putting q tips deep into your ears can give you this...so I'm sure that tissue in your ears is not really a good option.

do it!!!

have you tried those squishy foam plugs? they work really well.

Sepiae · 12-05-2003, 01:30 PM

Oh man. I'm sorry, I can't imagine how bad it must hurt. Ear infections are one of those things that just get worse to have when you get older, I've noticed. Feel better.
