Ive contracted an ear infection which will leave me bed ridden for the next few days at least
Tell me stories of your worst diseases to make me feel better about my situation

Just pray to the Lord not to take your hearing. But if he does, knows it is for your own good. Everything that happens to you is for your own good. This disease is for your own good.

Oh, and don't be afraid of anything. This is very important.

When I was a young child both my eardrums ruptured which left me with permanent damage so if this gets really bad then I might actually lost my hearing

i have suffered from vestibular migraines since i was a pre-teen. some days ill randomly get so dizzy that i cant walk or even understand what im looking at, and itll last hours or sometimes an entire day

>both my eardrums ruptured
How? Why?

>>81473372 Miracles exist, and if you can understand that, you might have a very good lifetime this time.
Those are the words of Jesus, literally: https://acim.org/acim/chapter-1/principles-of-miracles/en/s/53?wid=toc
Know those words and do whatever you want to do with them. It is not for everyone, but it can be for you.
Most "Christians" are too busy not being Christians.

>got hit by a car that snapped my thigh bone in two, had to get surgery to get a metal rod inserted through it so that it could heal properly, then another surgery a year or two after to have it taken out
>had conjuctivitis and my eyelids were swollen and it was incredibly embarrassing to go to uni that way
>currently have a gross external hemorrhoid which feels like some kind of nipple on my ass (but at least it's painless) <spoilered this one because it's gross

Hope you get well soon anon. Take it easy and use the restful time in bed to clear your head or brainstorm cool stuff. Or escapismmaxx I guess, but don't wear yourself out with screens.

>how?
Dont remember
>why?
Apparently my right eardrum healed wrong and became a weird shape or something, and my left eardrum is still ruptured

Negro, AI told me this:

1. Natural Healing (Conservative Management)
- Applies to: Small or uncomplicated ruptures.
- Timeframe: 4 to 8 weeks.
- Approach: Keep ear dry, avoid trauma, and sometimes prescribe antibiotics if infection is a risk.
- Success rate: Very high-most small ruptures heal without intervention.

2. Patch Procedure (Myringoplasty)
- Applies to: Persistent small perforations that don't heal naturally.
- Method: ENT doctor places a chemical to promote healing and patches the hole with a paper-like material.
- Setting: Often done in-office under local anesthesia.
- Recovery: Fast, minimal downtime.

3. Surgical Repair (Tympanoplasty)
- Applies to: Larger ruptures, traumatic injuries, or chronic infections.
- Method: Surgeon grafts tissue (often from behind the ear) to reconstruct the eardrum.
- Setting: Outpatient surgery, general or local anesthesia.
- Success rate: 85-95% in experienced hands.
- Recovery: A few weeks for tissue healing, full hearing may take months.

Emerging or Adjunctive Therapies (2025)
- Biological scaffolds or regenerative tissue matrices are in limited clinical use or research stages.
- Stem cell-based approaches are under investigation, but not yet mainstream or widely approved.
- 3D-bioprinted tympanic membrane grafts are in trials but not yet standard of care.

Considerations
- Hearing loss, infection, or vertigo warrant faster intervention.
- Ongoing discharge or repeated rupture could signal chronic otitis media, needing more complex treatment.

Go to the doctor, man. Look up clinics in your area that will charge less for the antibiotic prescription.
I once went through the same thing and every article niggers at you saying "just a few days, just a few days" but let me tell you, the infection(s) ravaged me for multiple weeks
The clue you should key on in is why a grown adult man in the height of his health is getting an infected middle ear.
You're immunocompromised, in my case it was because of the horrible black mold place I was living in.
For you, it's probably the vax or being a third worlder living in similar conditions.
The clinical advise on those websites will never make the physical considerations that are necessary to adequately diagnose you and give you an appropriate prognosis.
