    Me

    I have been trying to recover from a sinus infection that spread into my jaw and ear. The complications started when I was prescribed a antibiotic that I had an allergic reaction to and made me worse. For two weeks I could not close my jaw or eat crunchy/hard food.

    I have been in bed for weeks now, rarely leaving the house or even sitting at my computer. After a strong regiment of Erythromycin I am feeling better and hope to be back 100% soon.

    Reggie has been bringing me food and checking in on me along with my brother who has been staying here when he can.



    Gautam, sorry for yelling at you when you called. I was not myself

    Mikeguava dropped by to get me out of the house yesterday for real food, thanks Mike.

    Eh, you hardly "yelled". I was a bit confused but no worries.

    I didn't realize it was that bad. I'm relieved to hear the explanation but sorry about what you're going through. Get well soon.

    That's a legitimate issue and there is no way people could have known.

    @ Fugger: Hope you get well soon. Wish there is a way to send you hot chicken soup over the internets.

    get well soon FUGGER

    i had the same thing with roughly the same complications, i ended up in Physio Therapy for a year as the infection had left scarring in my inner ear, meaning i was having trouble with balance and alighnment issues, it can also make you feel inverted as your brain spends so much resources trying to compensate.

    this can feel like wearing a space helmet feeling (it is often described as this) also can make you feel confused and hence very short tempered

    if you need any advise on this condition (if it affects you) PM me and i will point you to some resources that might help

    this sounds very familiar to me, and i suspect this is far from over for you, concentrate on getting well,

    what i will add, is that this has never left me, i have learned to cope with the balance issues, to the point of barely noticing it, but every time i get a bad cold now, its back to square one for a short period.

    i found playing first person shooters very theraputic so it wasnt all bad..lol
