[QUOTE="briancunningham703@yahoo., post: 764216, member: 32301"] I have the same problem, for a year now i have had a constant headache, pain in both ears, constant ringing, popping and crackling sound which gets worse when i tilt my head or lie down, a feeling of not being able to think straight, and now my lower jaw is constantly trying to clamp shut and i have to try to prevent it which is another source of pain.As this has been going on for so long, the lack of sleep and constant pain has had a serious effect on my mental health as well.Tried 2 nasal sprays, debrox swimmers ear, and the eustachi machine.No luck and the fluid continues to build up making it more painful.Just recently the fluid has changed consistency from sticky to running like almond oil and feels acidic burning sensation.G.P. Says could be a eustachian tube issue, and it feels like it could be, and i have 9 out of 10 of the symptoms.ENT consultant dismissed hearing loss for someone my age ( i'm only 49 ), and did not mention the tymp test showed a higher than normal pressure which was worse in the ear that gives me the most pain and hearing loss.He done c.t. scan which did not show anything at all, and wont do any further tests.Went to private ENT consultant today who looked in ears with microscope and could see nothing.He would not try anti biotics, an mri scan or another tymp test which i believe would show that it is getting worse.I have looked into endoscopic diagnosis, but this is not available, so now i am trying to book an mri scan, and hope that the fluid shows on that.Now the ENT consultant says its just the normal popping everybody gets, but my mood is making it worse somehow, even though i had it for almost a year before i began to get stressed.I have found this affects my sleep, my appetite, and my depression level, and my days are spent lying on my side for up to 8 hours until the pressure eases and then i have around half an hour to try to eat, fall asleep, or live my life.Being in so much unrelenting pain, the lack of sleep and not having any appetite is destroying my life and all around me are doctors who wont help.CAN ANYBODY OFFER ANY ADVICE?, I AM AT THE END OF MY TETHER WITH THIS.
