Sick and Tired
I'm tired of being tired. I'm tired of sleeping for 8 hours then having to take a nap because showering wears me out. I'm back to work today because I have to be and I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to make it through. I still can't hear out of one ear and I'm getting worn down fighting this off. I went to the ER last Saturday. I have an ear infection, just a plain ordinary ear infection but I have no insurance. I only had enough money to get half of the prescription of antibiotics and that ran out last week. I'm taking lots of echinechea and zinc. If any of you happen to know any home remedies, I'm open to suggestions.
And you know what else really bites?.....I'm horny as hell and can't stop hacking long enough to enjoy it.

    Call your reg Dr and tell them you went, you got a script and you have no insurance. Ask if they have any samples of the stuff to finish the dose. Taking half of it was the same as taking none of it, you have to take the whole course.

    Take care of you, you need to rest and relax and let it run it's course. Your body is telling you things, slow down and listen to it.

    Magdala - Unfortunately having no insurance also means I don't have a regular doctor.

    Jas - Thank you for the suggestions! Baby oil, sucking and vodka, cool!? After I've used them for my ear and gotten better maybe I can find another creative use for em'....

    Baby oil, sucking and vodka .... OHMY!!!!
    I thought you were sick????!!!!
    Sounds like a 'good time' to me!

    The only thing I can offer is:
    Wal-Mart sells homeopathic ear drops that work. They take longer than using antibiotics, but they're relatively cheap, and they do work.
    Good luck darlin, and I hope you feel better soon.
    So you can enjoy sex, the baby oil, sucking and vodka.
    Ohhhhh my ..... ;)
    *smooches*

    ah, if your ear hurts and you're horny allow me to volunteer to cover your ear with my mouth and tongue as I blow smoke into it.

    If you don't want that, my second suggestion is a jug of rum. Once you get near the bottom of the jug my first suggestion might sound a little better.

    Reject both of those, go with Jas's advice. He knows what he is talking about.

    1)I blow smoke into your ear

    2)Drink some rum so suggestion 1 sounds better.

    3)Listen to Jas.

    This is gross, gross, gross and makes a big mess, but if you can do it, it may help. And it won't cost you anything : ) Warm salt water, snort up the nose. You can put it in your hand or they make little gravy boat type things you can buy. This cleans out the sinuses like nobody's business (and the nose and sinuses are connected to the ears via the eustacian tubes). I once had a sinus infection for 8 days and a terrible fever and hacking cough - my aunt made me do this and it started clearing up right away. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!! And I am envious of your sex drive. Sigh.

    ...having been too silly to note the date to see if this was even still an issue or not... I'll second Jayne's suggestion. It is messy & one of those "do it with the door closed" kinda things but I actually do this regularly (as I have like non-stop sinus issues that do occasionally migrate to my ears). I use 1 C warm water to 1/4 teaspoon of salt & do the whole cup. You can do it (from what I've read) up to four times per day.
    & I really do swear it works.
    xxoo,
