Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thanks Rogene, I will try the peroxide in my ear. I have been taking 1 probiotic pill a day and the last 2 days I have been eating yogurt as well. My low grade fever was back last night ....and I think it is from my ear. Not certain though.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thanks Shari, I used a prescription ear drop all day yesterday...and the pain is much better. I think I will try the peroxide to help clean it out....and then put these drops in as well.... Probably should increase my probioitic to 2 pills a day. With these implants I have had lots of sinus issues. However, my mom had them too...and she did not have implants. ...so don't really know that it is the implants. I am sure however, that these darn things exacerbated my entire system. > > Also > > As I went thru all my issues after explants w/ sinuses requiting operations, > It did spark many ear infections as well... what you need to be careful of > is the q-tip on the inside too, much too far.... if you remove too much wax > you can cause an out ear inf. as the wax is a protective coating to protect the > ear...

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Another treatment my dermatologist recommends is using anti-dandruff shampoo in the ear to clean it. I'm not at home this week so I can't tell you the name that he gave me but I can when I return home. My ear itching stopped as soon as I started doing this once or twice a week. It treats fungal problems.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 , One probiotic pill isn't enough to be effective . . . I don't know what brand you're using, but I'm guessing that you'd do well to up it by one a day until you're taking eight a day . . . and do that for months to come. . . It takes time for the beneficial organisms to colonize and take over the job of fighting off the fungal/yeast organisms. You won't see results right away - like you would with a prescripton anti-fungal. Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 , How many kinds organisms does Lacidophil Defense contain? . . . You want to get as many different types as possible. Some of Check www.iherb.com and see what organisms are in Ultra Primal Defense . . . or the old Primal Defense and see how they compare . . I know that Three Lac, claimed that one could overcome yeast problems in thirty days with their product . . which contained three organisms. . . WRONG!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hi Ladies! Has anyone tried Ear Candling? It's an awesome, gentle way to clear out the ear canal, without hurting anything internal. I had it done when I lived on the West Coast - you can buy them and do it yourself, once you learn the technique. It's easy. The candles are hollow wax candles and you place them in a hole in the middle of a aluminum pie plate (to catch the dripping wax) and place it in your ear...as you lay on your side. The top is lit and someone oversees it, ofcourse. It sound like a tiny fireplace burning, very relaxing. It takes about 20 minutes for each ear. You should have seen the stuff that was drawn out of my ears!! Alot of white powder, cuz I was on alot of antibiotics in the first 30 years of my life, due to a blockage in the end of my left ureter. One fellow at a Holistic Fair had a bug pulled out of one ear that had been there for quite awhile, apparently!! YIKES! After surgery, my life changed drastically. I praise doctors for that one! Anyhoo, look it up on the net for more info. I'd like to buy some and do mine again - they're about $8.oo each CDN. Love ya lots, Sunny > > Also > > As I went thru all my issues after explants w/ sinuses requiting operations, > It did spark many ear infections as well... what you need to be careful of > is the q-tip on the inside too, much too far.... if you remove too much wax > you can cause an out ear inf. as the wax is a protective coating to protect the > ear...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Oh jeez Rogene, I had never looked at it. Now I wish I hadn't as it is measured in " live organisms " . LOL Each capsule contains: Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52 = 3 billion live organisms Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11 = 1 billion live organisms Lactobacillus longum Rosell -175 = 1 billion live organisms Zinc 2mg Selenium 12.5 mcg And I was wrong..it is not by Thorne...it is by XYMOGEN. The instructions say 1 to 2 pills per day. Is this enough live organisms????? > > , > > How many kinds organisms does Lacidophil Defense contain? . . .

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Sandy, Your body is full of "live" organisms! . . . Both good and bad. Normally, there is a balance where everything takes care of itself. . BUT, when you take antibiotics, steroids, or your immune system is suppressed from chronic illness, the good organisms get killed off . . . and the bad ones, which are far more hardy, take over. The problems that result are every bit as diverse as those that come from breast implants. These organisms are essential for getting the nutrients from our foods. . . Regardless of what you eat, if this balance isn't present, you're not going to get the nutrients. . . And, the bad foods you eat will feed the bad organisms. . .Sugar and refined grains are the worst offenders. Normally, if everything was in balance, one or two a day would be all you would need. However, when you've have a problem (and all but one implant woman I've spoken to says she has had a problem), you need much more. There's a limit to how many your body will utiliize, so taking a whole bottle isn't going to help either. Really, read one of Rubin's books . . . as well as "The Yeast Connection" . . . I know it sounds really strange at first . . . but it's God's way to see that our body can take care of itself.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Xymogen is a great company, it's one that my ND prefers because they test and guarantee each batch of supplements they make but for probiotics, I prefer this one, HMF Replete, sold by Rockwell Nutrition. Each packet contains 20g: Lactobacillus acidophilus (two strains).......75 billion CFU Bifidobacterium bifidum.......12.5 billion CFU Bifidobacterium lactis.......30 billion CFU Lactobacillus salivarius.......12.5 billion CFU Fructo-oligo-saccharides (FOS).......10 g (*Read more below) May contain up to.......170 billion CFU The base of this product is made of FOS and a minuscule amount of gluose from vegetable syrup. All HMF probiotics are gluten and casein free. Kenda > Oh jeez Rogene, I had never looked at it. Now I wish I hadn't as it > is measured in " live organisms " .

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 No offence, but glad to hear that I am not the only one with the strange ear pain!! It is too strange. Thanks for the info. Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi Geri, I had posted about having heel pain when laying in bed and how my feet also hurt and burn when I bend at the knees and have my feet flat. I then remembered about my ears too. When I lay on my side I am woke up by my ears (outer part) hurting and burning. Have had that for many years but just thought it was me! I have found one other person beside you that has has this also. Do not know why this happens. May be the pressure thing that was mentioned with the feet. What exactly happens with yours and do you have the feet and heel issues too? Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hello Teri, For a long time I had a sore right ear. My naturopath couldn't understand why. Inside my ear, it was red and sore. Then one night I figured it out. I sleep on my right side, and my ear was being irritated from my bi-pap head gear. Once I changed to another mask, and head gear...it went away. This may not be what is going on for you, but I do hope this information will help someone. Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Teri, I have similar ear pain. I spend a lot of time in bed and just thought it was pressure related. Since you mentioned the pressure issue for you too, I thought I'd describe my situation. I sleep on my side. (Can't sleep on back due to breathing issues.) If I stay on one side too long, I get outer ear pain like you described. I use a feather pillow and change sides frequently. I bunch the pillow up around my neck and head to try to even out the pressure and sometimes I put my hand or fingers between the pillow and my ear to reduce the pressure. I get a similar pain if I talk on the phone for more than a few minutes. Have to keep changing sides with the phone or put it on speaker. I'm more comfortable sleeping on the right side and my right ear hurts the most, so I think it's just pressure. Haven't thought much about it until you asked, just been subconsciously trying to adapt to it. Perhaps someone has a better solution.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 , Too funny....seems like we sleep a lot alike! I have done almost all the same things as you to try to relieve the pain. I get exhausted flipping over and over to relieve pain. If it's not the feet and heels its the hips and shoulders! At times I dread going to bed cause I know what I am in for!!!! I too cannot sleep on my back, but it is not due to breathing issues. I am just not comfortable like that. And laying on the stomach is out cause of back pain. Wouldn't it be great to be able to sleep on a cloud!! I think I may email my neurologist and pass on all of this and see if he can make sense of it. He may not be able to help, but sometimes it is just nice to know the " why " of things happening. Thanks for replying and your thoughts. If I find anything on the ear pain or anything to relieve it I will pass it along. Teri P.S. Ditto on the phone issues too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Kay, So nice of you to reply. I do not have the same issues but I appreciate the time you spent writing back. As you said there may be someone out there that it may help. Glad that you finally got relief. Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I too will have heel pain if my heels are resting on my bed, my feet will hurt on top because of the foot drop.I was told that we should have a board to push on so our feet have support (in bed). As for my ears they feel plugged up and feel like I'm getting a ear ache much of the time. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I get the ear pain at night while sleeping. It is from laying in the same position too long. I also get heel & hip pain. I just need to move & it goes away. Kerry in Wisconsin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I get the hip pain while sleeping on sides too long (can't sleep on back due to breathing problem), I have solved problem by putting pillow between my knees as it helps get raid of hip pain, I don't get ear pain because I am deaf.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I also missed the e-mails, but I have some problems with my ears too. It acts up some of the time but most of the time not. It doesn't hurt, but it feels like they are plugged up and I can't pop them. I've been to my doctor and he sent me to an ear, nose, throat specialist and to have tests done. Nobody seems to be able to figure it out. I hate to blame everything on my CMT, but I think it may be related in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Teri, Do you think that not being comfortable sleeping on your back could be due to the breathing problems tht many of us with CMT experience? I know that usually once a year I get a temporary bronchitis where I have to sleep sitting up for about two weeks! It is very exhausting!

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I did have water in my ears but that's gone and I still have trouble...lay down and watch TV can hardly hear. Have to turn it up...but then when I sit up the TV is soooo loud.. LOL ..strange..I wonder too if it is CMT as my dad was hard of hearing and my daughter can't hear very well either...ears are always plugged up..
