Hi Guys Thanx for the feedback and I will also try Lemon or Lime with my
water and Tea ...Today has been my best day for months ......so fingers
crossed!!

I would like to run a theory I have past you guys and please tell me if it
makes sense or not

I live In Brisbane Australia....beginning of October I caught a
Cold....either that or allergy /Hayfever....I have had these bouts before of
course but it was usually resolved in 3-4 weeks max.....I had a low level
infection and was in the process of taking a course of Amoxicillin....and I
appeared to be on the mend.

My wife and I then flew to Sydney for a family function and even though I
was not completely better I thought no more of It.

On the Flight down I noticed I was suffering from the altitude pressure far
more than I normally do and was quite deaf for the duration of the flight
and also felt as if my balance had been affected.

The Following Day in Sydney ..It all came back with a vengeance and I was
quite miserable for most of my weeks vacation.....Of course we had to fly
back home...on the flight home the altitude pressure problem I had
experienced on the flight down was even worse X2....and I was almost totally
deaf for the duration...and at some stage I though my ear drums would burst
with the associated pain.....and I have been suffering from this ever since.

Anyway my theory is that I believe that the Flights To and From Sydney and
the associated pressure problems I experienced ....drove the small amount of
infection I had originally.... deep into the sinuses making it very
difficult to clear up and consequently prolonging something which under
normal circumstances would have cleared up in only a matter of weeks..does
that make sense?

Cheers
Vic
