my ears, my sinuses - can anyone tell me what will help

[chopchopchop]

Argh! I have some kind of chronic ear/sinus/something trouble that I just can't shake.

My right ear hurts, gently, all the time, as though it's hot, but the doctors look in it and says it looks fine. Whichever side I sleep on, that ear hurts in the morning. My sinuses ache, on and off, sometimes really badly, and I feel lightheaded sometimes. There's some kind of nasal drip, all the time, that not even steroid nasal spray will shift.

And I just feel ill, like I have some kind of infection - my muscles ache and I've got no energy reserves at all. And this has been dragging on for weeks.

I've tried salt water nasal spray, steroid stuff for my ear, acupuncture - they all make it better for a bit but nothing shifts it for good. If anyone has any suggestions of what will make this better, I will try them, because I can't just keep hauling myself around like this.

Nothing to suggest for the here and now, but cut out dairy and it'll change your life forever :)

The sad thing is that I've been off dairy for a few months and it doesn't seem to have shifted anything.

Ahh keep going with it, do you eat much meat??

not an enormous amount, no!
