Well, felt sick for the past few days, and felt like i was better last night (this night) . Woke up at 1am with a slight pain, and instantly know, ahhhh crap here we go....
4hours of intense pain, and it released. Nothing beats the feeling. It almost makes it worth it. The crackling, squeaking, bubbling releasing sound it the sound of freedom. Freedom from the killer pain. Freedom to go back to sleep.
I used to have ear ache quite often when i was younger, until i was perhaps 9-11yrs old. Then i didnt have on for years. The first one being last year. I thought ear aches were something that people out grow, i guess not for me. Nearly every time i get sick i have one now. It must be because i get such a blocked up head.
So, does anyone have any pain relief/speed up the process to the release techniques? Normally i put a rice bag thing in the microwave, and the heat makes it less painful. Turns out that exploded in the microwave in the near history so i had no relief tonight.
I got some chewy gum though, just to keep the jaw moving, which seemed to help. And also put in Top Gun so i had something to keep my mind off the pain (love that movie

).
Also took a couple of nurofens. Amazingly i havn't OD'ed on that stuff over the past few days. But it provides a laughable relief from the pain.
