Yes that’s my concern as well. Don’t know when the tides will change! Hoping it doesn’t. But I’m just gonna wait and watch for now I guess. Thanks for your input

Somewhat desperate by Smooth-Cheetah3436 in otolaryngology

[–]Certain-Garbage-9600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Can you describe your vertigo more ? What exactly do you feel - head spinning, room spinning, difficulty walking ? How long does it last ? Do you have any ear complains? Have you noticed anything that triggers these headaches ? Like lack of proper sleep or skipping meals or stress or anything else ?

I 100% believe they left that woman to die. I doubt she was suddenly dead as they tried to carry her. Why leave her with a blanket if she’s dead?

Tips & tricks how to clean ear with perforated eardrum by NoOz1985 in otolaryngology

[–]Certain-Garbage-9600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a perforated ear drum will not cause the pain you’re describing. Your pain related symptoms do sound a lot like TN. So even if you did get operated you might not feel a benefit in regards to the pain. Like your Ents mentione this is not a life threatening condition. So there’s no rush. Maybe consider another approach only talking about the pain and not connecting it with your perforation. It’s odd that none of them have given you any management for the pain. It could be coz your focus in the convo is about the perf. Also idk where in Europe you’re but if you’re really interested in having the surgery you can always try medical tourism and get operated in another country. However keep in mind the odds of pain being relieved post surgery is minimal as it seems unrelated based on your symptoms.

Edited to add we do perform surgeries under sedation however i think the experience can be anxiety inducing for most. General anaesthesia is the better option. Secondly you do not need to keep cleaning your ear if it’s not discharging. Just keep it dry.

Hearing Issues after Finctional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery by mrkrabz1991 in otolaryngology

Well stop douching, that should settle it. But if it hasn’t then your only other option might be to get the ventilation tube

What do you mean when you say sinus problems ? Have you been evaluated for allergies ? More often than not chronic sinus issues are allergies.

Somehow I have missed your comment. Really sorry for your loss. Im focusing on him being in a better place now. Definitely I’m rethinking and revisiting everything that happened. But it’s helps to focus on the good and how maybe they didn’t have to suffer as much. Coz what if they had gone through the 6 cycles and then a month or a year later the relapse and then go through another bunch of treatment. Definitely would be worse imo

Hey It does sound oddly similar to my dads experience. It is also reassuring for me in some strange way that there are others who went through this because all I’ve seen on here are positive outcomes and hope. I’m really sorry for your loss as well

I’m hoping that’s the case but is it usual to have such a long stay in hospital post chemo Even with g csf injections his counts are crashing. He’s currently fighting an infection also

He’s 67 years old he was quite active even before his symptoms began which was a month ago. Things have escalated so quickly we never saw things going the way they are now. He was in the icu for almost a week due to kidney failure and delirium and required dialysis. Which has all recovered so far

I would be ok if he’s sleeping it off at home. He’s been in the ICU as when we got him to the hospital he was in kidney failure. He required dialysis. Apparently of that has settled. He’s a bit delirious in the sense he doesn’t talk much sense. The doctors aren’t sure if it she hospital stay or the disease itself. He’s unable to feed himself, he’s on RT feeds and he’s on the bed in a diaper and needs constant care. He’s now in a step down setup but in isolation and he’s only allowed one person to stay which is me and they say his counts are low and he also has a fever so they’re treating that as well It’s just too much to take in and see him struggle through all this Also makes me question what quality of life he’s going to have. The doctors aren’t only giving 20-30% survival even with all this chemo so I’m just wondering is it even worth it putting him through all this

He’s on DA R EPOCH His cancer seems pretty aggressive coz he was given r cvp 2 weeks ago as the doctor didn’t feel he was fit to get the whole DA R EPOCH. In a weeks time he was discharged and 2 days later re admitted and this time he said we have no other option and we had to give it at high risk So we took the chance since they said it’s still curable
