Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Has nobody replied to you yet? This business regarding a certain thread has apparently buried your post. I feel for " Tom " ... I didn't think his words were that ugly or mean ... I can relate. I've been known to post messages that were 'upsetting' to others as well. But enough of that ... Your symptoms are all a part of the c-toma. It can reek havok on your balance center. Besides ear infections, I presented next with headaches, dizziness, and vertigo. It took a long time before I could see a specialist. It's great that you're going in soon for your surgery. Just hang in there. I hope things get better for you afterwards. I have no advise to give about dealing with the torchous pain. It's enough to drive a person over the edge. Pain killers and a high fiber diet is all I can suggest.
