So I went to the ENT doctor today. I was not referred to him. Went on my own, after having multiple sinus and ear infections last year. I am glad I made the decision. He feels the ear infections are a by product of the sinus infection and that the sinus infections have not been treated properly. To many antibiotics given over to long a period. So he is giving me stronger antibiotic and I am going to take it for the next 28 days. After that he is having another CT scan done to see if there is any signs of a residual infection. If there is then we will have to do something else to get rid of it. If there isn't then hopefully I won't be dealing with them as often as I have been these past few years. He also said something about the fluid coming out of my nose maybe or maybe not being spinal fluid. I told him I had a spinal tap scheduled for Wednesday and he wants a copy of those results. So I told him I would make sure to let my neuro Dr know to send him a copy. While what we dealt with today will do nothing to help overall with the current headaches I am dealing with it will help to deal with a lot of the illness' I was dealing with last year. I missed a lot of time from work because of my sinus' so this is a big step towards helping to help me and make my bosses happier with me!
