Pain in ears and dizziness got worse so husband said lets ring 111 see what they say, i was amazed at what he told them, and because of this they send an ambulance car to take me to a medical control centre, and the doctor there decided because i was having all the syptems of virtigo and bilateral tenderness he wanted me checked out by a specialist at a hospital that knows about pmr.

So results were progress: ongoing earache and dizziness bilateral temporal tenderness.ESR normal

Investigations ECG-RBBB  ESR2

 normal impression acute otitis media requiring antibiotics

So i have been given Clarithromycin tablets, and Prochlorperazine to take as required.

Eyes are still stinging but see doctor Wednesday, so hopefully in a few days i will be back to my normal PMR self, thank you for all your comments and kindness, what we do without this forum.

    Good to hear Margaret - not everything is PMR or pred so when you have other symptoms you do need to think "What would I do if I didnt have PMR?"

    Get well soon!

    Morning Margaret;   good to hear from you, and soooo please that hubby did get you the help you needed....There are so many times (especially with conditions that we think "just another side affect" and put up with same)....Vertigo alone is bad enough, but a Middle Ear infection is also horrible....so thank goodness...if the ear-drum had ruptured (due to too much pressure on it), you would have felt "excrutiating" pain....take care of that precious body (and husband) of yours....lots of TLC and one of your hugs xxx Bron
