Two nights ago I had an itchy ear it drove me crazy but I didn't think much of it. But last night it was still itchy and now I can hear a popping and crackling sound so I think there is something alive in there!
It's grossing me out and I wish I could just get it out but I don't want to damage my ear so off to the dr's I go. Not how I planned to spend dd's birthday but she loves playing with the toys.
An any went in my ear once when I was lying in the sun outside. Felt the same as you describe but thankfully it came out on it's own within a couple if hours. Hopefully the doctor can fix whatever it is.
(that's the weirdest post I've written in a while!!)
Eta- happy birthday to you dd!
Happy birthday to your DD!
I had a bug fly into mine once, was the most intense sound ever, just awful! Hope your doctor gets it out Xoxox
Love MN ;-)
DH candled my ears once and an earwig came out?! :o Gross.
Last week i had an ant in one ear, it driove me crazy until i managed to fish it out with a cotton bud. It's annoying hey? Hope they get whatever it is out!
:o my worst nightmare, hope it comes out
Ewww that would freak me out! hope the doc gets it out quick
and happy birthday to your DD :D
I know someone who got their eardrum eaten by a bug at about 8 years old and now her hearing is completely shot! Scares the bejeesus out of me with bugs in the ears! Hope the Dr finds the little critter!
yerkkkk!
I was watching some show and a kid had a ****roach in his ear, the family pulled out half of it, the doctor got more and the rest fell out - mind you, they didn't go to the doctor until it started decomposing in his ear! all the best!!!!
It's the kind of thing you hear about but don't expect to happen to you! On my way to the dr now, I did try a cotton bud in the end but no luck.
Good luck! Something similar happened to me once, I thought it was water after a weekend of windsurfing. It turned out to be a baby spider :o It crawled out onto my little finger while I was prodding it again after two days of it bugging me. Scared the hell out of me!! We were on our way to work so went straight to the doctors when it happened and they flushed out my ear with water but assured me there was nothing else in there anyway.
Sorry if that's freaked you out!!
*shudders* now my ears are itchy...
Mine too. I'm freaking out just reading this. I'm terrified of something in my ears now.....:
Ewwww! I so hope it's nothing that can't be sorted straight away. Good luck at the doctors
Happy Birthday DD
My sister got a tiny moth stuck in her ear once. The hospital flushed it out with olive oil. Having something in my ear is a massive fear of mine.
The good news no bug! Its a middle ear infection caused by my recent sinus infections so I need to have a scan.
oh no :-(
bonus that it's not a bug but still not cool
I know, i have been trying to avoid having surgery for a few years now but it looks I might have to as my sinuses are causing lots of headaches and now this.
Oh my God. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I'm terrified of moths. If one gets in the house I start screaming!!
I thought I would be coming back with a horror story of what he found!
glad there's nothing in there!!!!
That popping itching feeling is the worst isn't it??? I had recurring ear infections all through pregnancy (you're not pregnant are you??? ;) ) and drops and an ear-wick helped heaps. Hope that's all you need?
Oh, and bad news about your sinuses too, although my neighbour just had the surgery and it's worked so well for her- in and out and a few days healing xxx
thinking of you xxxx
YAY to no bug but BOO to maybe having surgery!!! That sucks!
God I am terrifed I am going to have a spider in my ear that lays eggs and then I die. LOL...
I was hoping you'd be back to rival my earwig story :p
Bummer on the surgery, that sux. What will they do?
Not sure yet but it's done through your nose. Will keep you updated with the gory details.
ick i didnt even know bugs could get in your ear!! how creepy!!! now im scared!!
no good about your ears though, but on the bright side at least it will be fixed :D
are they removing your adenoids? I had that done as a kid - I very rarely get sinus problems now!
No bug/moth/spider caming crawling out? Such a shame :rofl:
Sinus issues suck. I hope they get it sorted for you hon.
Kaz I had my tonsils out as a kid and we dont know if the adenoids are there or not, mum can't remember if they were taken out. I will know more once I have the scan.
Almost wish it was a bug so it was dealt with!
Well my adenoids are already gone and my nasal passage is clear but my right sinus is almost completely blocked. My dr was surprised my symptoms were so mild. So I am on strong antibiotics for 6 weeks otherwise it will be a referral to an ent to get my sinuses washed and the right one bored out to be bigger.
Now I am beginning to wish it was a bug in my ear!
BR that's sucky but at least hopefully you won't have any further issues after the op. My mate had her sinuses bored a few years ago and she hasn't had any issues since. SHe said it's the best thing since sliced bread!
The word bore should not be allowed in the same sentence as nasal passage/sinus?! :o ouch!
yeah but that initial pain is apparently way less than constant sinusitus lol. My mate's face would really swell and bruise every time she got an infection! OUCH >.<:
CL that would be awful! I am getting killer headaches, and I am wondering what the painkillers are doing to my body in the long run.
Yeah long term anything isn't good hun! Plus if you are getting headaches than your quality of life is suffering. Op looks like the way to go for sure!
