Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Bob, Just two years ago while camping on a beach far away from medical facilities, I awoke one morn and could not hear out of my left ear. When we got to town, I went to the local " Doc in a Box " and he gave me an antibiotic. Upon return to home, went to ENT. He said it was a Herpes infection of inner ear, one of eight kinds only determinable on autopsy. Went to Baylor Medical School in Houston. They said, " You've got a good doc. " Went to Otologist here from UTexas Med School in San . He put me on Valtrex. 500mg 2X Day. I've been on it a year. It has helped beat down the virus but the tinnitis never goes away. Also, I've just been diagnosed with Lyme and came across a paper on Pub Med about Lyme and Ear Infections. FWIW. Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
