[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 676491, member: 17461"] I was just back to the doctor for two more lavages of the ear that we did not clear fully last Spring. The nurse practitioner suggested switching from Claritin to Clairitin D, which contains an oral decongestant. Or, using Flo Nase (or over the counter decongestant) to keep everything nice and clear. Does anyone else find a connection between stomach issues related to allergies and ear problems? I have noted a definite connection. Did you know that Mucinex works by irritating the stomach lining? All these things are connected. Does anyone else note a connection between allergies and ear problems? That was the nurse practitioner's rationale. That allergies are the culprit, and that keeping the passages clear while we are having an allergic reaction to something unrelated will help with our ear and sinus problems. Now that I am not eating Christmas or smelling scented candles and have been using Flo Nase to keep my sinuses clearer, my ears are doing very nicely. Cedar I had a strange conversation with an older RN. She complained of dizziness and sinus problems and so on, but her contention is that she is prone to developing "ear stones". She swears that when we feel that fluid, echoey feeling and feel that dizziness, we need to "move" the stone by repositioning our heads until it can pass. I have never heard of such a thing. She swears by it, and swears that it is the only thing that works for her. She said ear stones will be microscopic things, in the same way our bodies form kidney or gallstones. I don't know what to think about that, but I have been repositioning my head, alot. Like, hang your head between your knees, move it from shoulder to shoulder, that kind of thing. SWOT, if ear tubes helped you, that is what I will try, next. [/QUOTE]
