Re: Still dealing with cholesteatoma

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't get why insurance/medical financial assistance

don't get that cholesteatoma is a disease that just doesn't go away--it gets

worse. No one is saving money by not treating this ASAP. I hope you get the help

you need. I hope it is before your life is threatened.

ear that doctor said had been there for a long time. Well it has been one year

and I am still dealing with it. I dont have medical insurance or the funds to

pay for the surgery and have tried all suggestions for help only to be turned

down. I live with daily ear pain and a feeling like tugging in my neck. Also

have constant ringing in my ear and frequent bleeding and infection from ear. I

use ciprodex ear drops as that is all I can do. I do worry about the damage that

it is causing but at this time I am not sure there is anything else I can do. I

also have lupus and have frequent flare up of symptoms and am on many immune

suppressing meds for that. Hopefully I can figure something out in the near

future cause cant get care right now until I am in a life threatning situation.
