Title: just another poll...
Post by Melissa on Jul 26th, 2003, 11:00am
how many of you had numerous ear infections as children?



edited to add: I had tons of them when I was little.  My mom took me in for many hearing tests because the doctors thought I was going deaf from them.  What's funny is, I have very acute, sensitive hearing now. :-/

I had multiple ear infections as a kid.  Back before they put tubes in ears unless you went deaf.  I even had my ear drum pierce from infection.

Cat who has a deformed ear canal and hypothalamus ;)

I did...I had them ALL the time. Real nasty ones too. My momma stopped letting me have any dairy products because of the congestion they cause...and they stopped. But I had to eat my Puffed Rice with orange juice.

Measles, mumps, chicken pox, flu, pneumonia, strep throat... but no ear infections.

No ear infections, but tonsilitis all the time until the tonsils were removed.

Yes of course I did living in a cold area of NY. I have also had Measles, chicken pox, flu, strep throat. But I have never had  mumps! And  I have had my Tonsils out when I was very young. I was also side swiped my a car getting off a school bus. I knew I should have walked to school that day, but the snow drifts were up to my head and it was 10 miles to school one way. Glad I was lucky eonugh to get back up and walk to the side of the road. My Mum saw the whole thing happen to me. Why today you can hardly see the door knob crease in my chest from that 1950 Studabaker............Maybe that's what caused my ch...............Anyone else ever get hit or own a Studabaker?LOL

God Bless,

Dave can't remember any which tells me the answer is probably NO... Did you get bad ear infections Mel? That in itself is a terrible sentence to serve, especiallly when you are a small child.  Breezy got ear infections and  has somehow gotten it down to like one a year... Thank God.  love to you and that new snuggle bear........ ree

Nope none that I recall here



Georgia.........yuk.......with orange juice..........nasty


My hearing is quite keen..........but think it's due to the fact of having such rotten vision..........yuk........Used to tell the kids when they were younger that I had magic ears.....think my husband even believed me......I'd hear things from another room that he wouldn't hear even if he were sitting in front of it.

Me too. Lots and lots of ear infections as child. Got a set of tubes when I was four, another when I was eight. No swimming allowed.

Never had an ear infection before.

Post by Melissa on Jul 31st, 2003, 10:57am
thank you everyone for your responses.  I was curious to see if there was any correlation between CH's and ear infections, but it seems there is not.  Anyhoo, the question was not asked before, so I was the first to do so! ;D

thanks again!

I had several ear infections in one ear the right one which is where all the pain is located in the right temple area I now have an artifical eardrum in there.

Post by Miklos on Jul 31st, 2003, 2:51pm
No ear infections after tonsils went away.

Re: Puffed rice. We were poor enough that my after school treat was Bosco (with sunshine vitamin D) on bread.

I started getting ear infections about two years before the clusters started.  I'm still convinced that they are related, but I have no idea how.

Post by Major_Headcase on Jul 31st, 2003, 3:17pm
Yep, many ear infections as a kid, now that I think about, it was always the left ear ... same side I get my clusters on. But tonsilitis was the true bane of my childhood (and my Mom's). I was allergic to corn and eggs as a kid ... guess what almost every form of candy contains? Corn syrup and egg white solids! My dear sainted mother knew everytime I had some candy because I would come down with tonsilitis within about 1-2 days of eating any ... we both had to stay home.  ::)
