Since the end of November when I started with this inner ear thing I had been fortunate enough not to get a cold up until now. I haven't yet noticed my smptoms getting worse. They say that Viral lab. usually shows up after a bad cold. I'm just wondering if I can expect another bought of bad symptoms after my cold leaves or do your symptoms get a little worse during the time of the cold. How do you deal with this when you get a cold?????

Thanks for any replys

PS For those dealing with this are there any of you
out there that when you first wake up feel pretty good until you start moving around.

Hi Scant, if your symptoms have not yet worsened you are prob OK and are lucky! The first cold I had after this astarting was AWFUL. The symptoms were awful and I felt I was on a v rough titanic.

The 2nd cold I had wasnt quite as bad but the dizzies were worse. I find that any infection, even a sore throat make my symptoms get worse. MY GP told me this would happen for up to a year after first getting L'itis. xxx

Thanks for your reply. I feel like my symptoms aren't as bad as some of you guys but certainly bad enough that is made me make a major decision to quit my cooking job after 28 years. My husband was happy about this as he felt I was always being taken advantage of. I am now unemployed and concentrating on making myself better. I am not a wealthy person by any means but certainly cutting back on anything I don't need. By the way for all of you sufferers have any of you ever tried Silver Coloidal. It is a hollistic treatment for many ailments and is said to have results when dealing with something viral. My acupuncturist sold me a bottle and am giving it a try.
It has to be of the purist form, usually a licensed acupuncturist can get this for you. I tried to find the brand on the internet and unless I was a practitioner of some kind they would not sell it to me.
ONe of my greatest fears are snakes and if they told me this would go away if I slept with a snake in my bed, I would do it.

all the best,

Yes, I'm usually okay when I first get up and then after about two or three hours the pressure in my ear is back.
I have ETD and the saline spray has really helped, but I'm having a bad day today.
