I went to the walk in clinic this morning. My doctor does not work on Tuesday, so I saw a PA. I had a strep swab. I also had a swab for respiratory viruses. All negative. I have water behind my right ear drum. The PA I saw wants me to have a CT scan of my sinuses to see why a week of antibiotics did not fix everything. I have had this kind of CT before. So stick with allergy meds. Use a saline spray, take Mucinex if I want to. Two and a half school days until break. We were in and out of Bob's appointment a half hour before we were even supposed to be there. It was a decent appointment. Labs again in a couple of weeks to check on something. We have more appointments all during break.

If I can keep the headaches away I will be okay. I will get to sleep extra and that will help.

My tinnitus is really bad lately. It sounds funny when I talk as though I have water in my ear too.

Yeah, it makes me walk funny, crooked like I am leaning over to the right. Thanks.

Well, I guess you’re getting closer to some answers by elimination.
