It is now 5 months later since I wrote here about my ear/nasal issues. I thought I should write again about my experience in case it helps others. All the sprays/washes etc never helped much with nasal issues. I could feel all the inflammation in my body and one ear (my good ear) was experiencing flipping in and out of hearing. I could hear my own voice extremely loud when I was speaking and could hear myself breathing. VERY annoying. It has a name but can’t remember. I had lost 25 lbs and diagnosed with PMR which is chronic arthritis. ENT wanted to do eustasion tube surgery. I waited to see if my drugs I had to take were the cause. The prednisone I was taking for PMR instantly cured my nasal issues but was still having the ear issue. I read up on the eustasion tube condition and found that losing weight quickly can have this affect. SO, fast forward, my ear issue resolved once I started to gain weight back. So thankful for not letting ENT do surgery.
