After a fortnight of snot, ear pain, tinnitus and generally feeling crap, I went back to the naturopath.
Naturopath, you ask? Yes.
Here is my rationale.
I went to the doctor ten days ago about this ear infection. After a round of antibiotics and I'm still not right. I'm popping nurofen daily to help reduce the face ache, the earache and the sinus pain. My eyes are weeping. There's a pain in my throat and jaw - and I'm over it. What's a doctor going to do?
My naturopath has other ideas. Rather than blitzing me with antibiotics, he's gone another route. Herbs. Which have done the trick in the past.
First up, there's the green horse pills. Something called Armaforce, which will hopefully start getting my immune system where it needs to be.
There's a herbal mix, which needs to be taken twice a day. This one doesn't taste like arse as much as other ones I've had. It's called snot-blaster. Here's hoping it works quickly.
To drink, to help soothe the throat, I'm on ginger and cinnamon tea - made by putting a cinnamon stick and some sliced ginger root in boiling water, This one I like.
Not so much fun is bathing my eyes, which are weeping and bloodshot thanks the stuck sinuses, in weak chamomile tea. I hate the stuff, but after two weeks of all of this, I'll give anything a go.
I also like that my naturopath calls me comrade. I've been seeing him for years... he's allowed.
Anyway, another early night for me. Need to go and take my horse pill and snot blaster before I go down.
I really want this to work. I'm over it all.
