Update; some gross bugness

[jedishampoo]

1. Apparently, I have no wax, infection, spiders, aliens, unborn twins, etc. in my ear. The doctor saw almost nothing except perhaps a "little fluid behind," i.e, possibly allergies or congestion? And she saw the same thing in the other ear. So why does the right ear tickle and thump at me so? Argh. I am to take something "D" (either Allegra D or Mucinex D) and use nosedrops for two weeks, and if it's not better, then I get referred to an ENT specialist.

Although she laughed when I told her about my friends' "spider" theories, she said that when working in a free clinic in an indigent area, once, she saw a cockroach in someone's ear. Eww.

1.5. Speaking of bugs, I'm getting the bug-man out yet AGAIN, though we just had him out a few weeks ago. Darn this desert in July! I swear, I don't want to see one more ant or one more giant freakin' water roach in my bathroom. I was squealing like a baby piglet the other night at the giant bug in our airlock (the area between our garage and family room). Ewww!

2. 5000 words on my 7thnight_smut story so far. And my awesome, handy-dandy, live-in beta, sharpeslass, cleared the first 3000 words or so for continuation. Yay!

3. I have like three Dreamwidth invite codes, if anyone wants them. I set up an account there (jedishampoo there also), but I have no intention of posting in places outside LJ for now.

Ew, cockroach in ear! XD *nightmares*

(--This may not be it, either, but: do you clench your jaw a lot, or grind your teeth? I do (diagnosed as TMJ), and I sometimes get symptoms sort of like the ones you're describing. Just a thought!)

I've heard of TMJ and wondered if I was borderline-- I do clench my jaw when stressed-- but I'd never thought the tickling feeling and deafness might be related? Huh... if it doesn't clear up I'll ask about it. Thank you!
