#extreme ear pain

[bonefall]

I genuinely have no clue how someone can think "getting hit on the ear doesn't hurt"

Getting hit ANYWHERE on the head fucking hurts. I've got plenty of experience with it (various sources) for me personally, top of the head hurts worst (I have a gnarly scar there from a dog bite, very sensitive), but ear is pretty high on the list. Bonus Points for how the sensation made my tinnitus act up

The head is like a thin layer of watermelon rhine wrapped around the most precious organ in your body, and to discourage you from bashing it open, it was wrapped in meat that screams when it gets too close to a dangerous object.

I'm also having a hard time understanding how a person can come to that conclusion. It's... it's right there. You can touch and pull and smack your own ear. You will feel it hurt more than most other parts of your body.

I can only conclude that the anon has never had their ear physically abused, and quite frankly, I hope they never do. I hope they know their lack of personal experience is enviable.

#Anyone who hasn't been clobbered on the ear also probably doesn't understand how LOUD it feels #If you get hit at the wrong angle on the ear canal it feels like the air compresses down into it. It is extremely painful #And it rings afterwards #Cw physical abuse #Tw physical abuse #Physical abuse #Cw child abuse #Tw child abuse #Child abuse #And thats blunt force; i think one of the most painful incidents i went through was getting dragged across a floor by the ear #I've had black eyes. Been slapped in the face. Had a door hit me and been bonked with a car trunk #None of those hurt as much

so clark and bryce were definitely flirting with each other at every single cornhole competition they went to right

#and bryce was SUPER normal about it #i feel like they both absolutely knew their feelings were requited it’s just that they’re a fucking mess #anyway first pibe drawing :] #i am Not particularly good at art but i did my best and i think it’s cute #yes the proportions are weird we don’t need to talk about it #i’m not 100% satisfied with it but i’m tired of looking at it so it’s fine #also it physically pains me to use their canon names instead of cole (clark) and graham (bryce) #which are the names i gave them due to already being extremely mentally ill about zach and jess characters named clark and brian #but obviously that would not make any sense to anyone but me and my girlfriend #anyway. i luv them #play it by ear #pibe #cornhole in one #zach reino #ross bryant #dropout #mine #art #my art

May Apollo bless this scorching hot bath and make my knees shut up and put out the buzzing fire in my joints.

#pls help #The level of annoyance my pain creates is the equivalent of having a fly in my ear #It's a type of pain that cannot be ignored #And you cannot think of anything but it #cripple punk #physical disability #CRPS #tw bugs and nasty story ahead #so flash back to when i worked at a kitchen that had so many flies in the back outdoor rest place #that 50 would land on you bc you're covered in food #and no matter how much you shook them off they'd just land on you again #until you give up from extreme exhaustion and just let them crawl on you #thats what the pain is like #i was also dealing with this pain on top of those real flies back then #im happy im too disabled to work at hell holes anymore

also my ear(drum) is still fucked up and actually it's worse than yesterday. so that's also just so awesome

#I'm having such a good time :))) #I keep trying to pop it and it just HURTS #so bad #it's also very loud #so something is definitely not right but it has happened several times before and always went away on its own so I don't want to waste a #whole day going to the ent doctor again #I've got an appointment in two months I can wait that long #maybe it'll stop happening #but he'd just shrug and say oh well I don't know either 🤷 cause that's happened with everything regarding this stupid ear. #so. it's pointless anyway #but the pain is making me even more annoyed than I already am #it feels like I can't hear anything on that side. but it's actually just extremely muffled. #it's so so so annoying #personal

still havent drawn my sona ref but i sure as hell have been doodling it in the same pose over and over. heres a couple of them that i actually put colours to

#engineposting #drawing pin #furry #kind of hate the first one bc i forgot its ears & i was just messing around so the colours are kind of wacky #engine voice: what if i drew my sona with its head down looking crazed again #i originally wanted to make my ref before i posted these bc it doesnt actually look Like This normally #basically its bodily extremities are tipped in white #but when it experiences intense emotions the white spreads further up its body until its almost glowing #hence the Expression #something something meant to represent how i can never just Feel things and they build up like energy under my skin #maybe thats edgy idc ive been playing and having fun with this concept in my head for a while #augh i want to finish the ref drawing so bad #but im like #stuck on the arms #struggling with anatomy a bit #pain and suffering etc

[pepprs]

ok. so in what like 7 hours i am going to be on a plane.

#purrs #i am EXTREMELY anxious about this. in large part because of my ear situation. this will be the first time i will be taking pain medication #in advance of potentially experiencing pain and not being in the process of experiencing it which is also extremely nerve wracking. i also #forget all the things you’re supposed to do / not do when you fly so i need to look that up but… aaaaghhhhhhh. agh. im scared lol #conference tag #<- all things considered whst a glorious thing it is to be able to post in this tag again 🥹 hiiii

i have to put bucky down a week from today and let me tell you that trying not to pussy out is so hard

#🐻.txt #the winter pupper #pet death #he's my baby #he's my best friend #i just have to keep reminding myself that this is for the best #part of the responsibility of having a pet #is making sure they're not living in pain just because you don't want to let them go #and i know that #but it's hard #we had a family dog before bucky #and that was extremely difficult when he passed #but bucky was MY first dog #and it just feels so awful having to say goodbye #and having to be responsible for the decision that means he'll never get to smell the sea breeze again #or eat another french fry slipped under the table #or get his belly rubbed and his ears scratched #it's just really fucking hard man

Trying to finish my academic paper while neighbors' kids are playing and screaming under my window really adds to the wonderful experience of getting a university degree. 10/10 would (not) recommend.

#personal stuff #this is actually a cry for help #my two braincells are thinking of killing each other #why are children so NOISY #my ears are receiving a new level of high frequency and it's extremely painful

super fun update I’m like 99% sure I have a secondary sinus infection after Covid because I have completely new symptoms that I wasn’t feeling at all in the worst of my Covid infection 🙃

#horrible pain in my face and ears #extreme congestion #and overall weakness and lightheadedness #I was literally feeling somewhat better yesterday and now I feel WORSE smh

#imagine I’ve been sick with a ‘cold’ since Tuesday #high temp + extremely sore throat can’t swallow so I’ve been having 1 meal a day #horrible muscle pain + ears are sore and blocked #to end up going a&e last night and finding out I literally have strep A and needed antibiotics all along #the nurse had the biggest go at me and asked why it took me so long to seek medical help and I said ‘I didn’t think it was that deep’ 🤡 #now I have to take antibiotics for 10 days solid

[durn3h]

I feel like there’s something wrong with me. I never got tired last night and only slept like 2 hours because I forced myself to and I’m still not tired, but there’s so much “noise” in my brain that it’s making my “ears” hurt

#I don’t know how to describe it #I’m not hearing anything #but its like the sensation of hearing an extremely loud sound #and my ears themselves don’t hurt #but there’s a painful sensation where my like my brain perceives my ears as being #Idfk #it’s so weird #has my brain finally broken #?

my allergist highly suspects i have a condition called mcas (mast cell activation syndrome) and i agree with her cause the symptoms match and antihistamines (which is commonly used to treat mcas) work to lessen the frequency and severity of my symptoms, the reason i don't have a diagnosis of it though is because not only is it extremely difficult to definitively diagnose but a significant number of the symptoms do also overlap with a few of my other conditions (which funnily the conditions i have that overlap with mcas are nearly all also comorbidities with mcas)

And dear god is mcas annoying, if you haven't heard of it basically when you have mcas your body just randomly decides to have an allergic reaction to whatever the fuck it wants with no consistency. I am lucky enough to have it somewhat mildly (though it can and likely will get worse over time) but some people who have mcas can get anaphylaxis because of it, which is fucking terrifying, like nearly anything has a possibility of triggering anaphylaxis and you have no way to know what

anyway some of my mcas symptoms include being itchy nearly all of the time, brittle nail and longitudinal ridging on my nails (which i had no idea was abnormal till i looked it up cause i didn't know what it meant), chronic congestion, tinnitus, chronic build up of fluid in my ears, throat irritation, chronic post nasal drip, frequent headaches, tics, difficulty recovering from infection (it usually takes me around 2 weeks to recover from a minor virus but on one memorable occasion i was sick for 3 entire months), tremors, i get eye irritation that feels basically identical to when you cut onions, and the only cool symptom dermatographia aka skin writing

Now of course those are only the symptoms i get that aren't also symptoms of my other conditions, i could go on forever if we include the symptoms that overlap

#chronic illness #mcas #mast cell activation syndrome #allergy symptoms #chronically ill #do you understand the extent of my suffering? (´⊙ω⊙`) #i hate being itchy #the ear fluid build up is the worst #also the eye irritation #that ones also the worst #life is pain and suffering #healthy people have it so easy #like they're out here playing life on easy mode #while i'm stuck with ultra hard extreme mode as my only option #imagine being healthy #i can't

Me: okay I should start saving money fr

My friend: hey do you wanna go to the Aquarium, get sushi, and then get pierced afterwards?

Me:

#I love having friends who are on the same wavelength as me 🥹 #I wanted to get my conch pierced for so long like probably a year atp but I didn't tell my Mom let's see how long it takes her to notice LO #also I was so scared because everyone online was like ooh it's the thickest part of cartilage on your ear ooh it's extremely painful #IT WAS FINE!? Maybe it didn't hurt so much because in my head I thought it would be worse or maybe my pain tolerance has improved this year #the latter might just be true after getting braces and my teeth pulled out 💀 #the Aquarium was so nice they had a 360 degree ocean tunnel and penguins and AN OTTER TOO the latter two were SOOO cute 😭😭 #and then we had a kpop karaoke session on the drive home lmfao we were BELTING to old school BTS songs #my friend even held my hand during my piercing which was so sweet of her lolol 😭 #personal #a really fun day!

odd eye circle europe tour???? vffhfhjddjkskslsl

i live in northern europe so none of the countries or cities are ideal but oec got me into loona in the first place back in 2017 and since i didn’t get to see them last year (thank god i didn’t) this could be my chance…

But alas, i am broke, i don’t have anyone who would travel with me, and most importantly, i am scared to death of flying

#the last time i was on an airplane was in 2017 actually #it went fine but there’s something wrong with my ears and i’ve had EXTREMELY painful experiences in the past #and my ears have only gotten worse :/ #loona #odd eye circle #oec

[irawhiti]

to the person who said that a tongue piercing hurts less than an ear piercing Were you on fucking oxys when you got it done or what

#WHY DID I BELIEVE THAT IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE #it's fine now it's like a day and a half since i got it done so it only hurts when i eat #but i straight up have an extremely high pain tolerance esp around mouth stuff and it hurt like a bitch #not even the initial stab. that still hurt more than an ear but whatever not bad. but the immediate like 5 hours after were hellish #i did have to power walk and bus it back which would have made it worse but omfg i was just pacing for a bit

[pepprs]

ok update (not that anyone needs an update but still lol). im fine to fly. the injury was only to the skin of my ear canal but it’s going to take a week to heal. i need to put my earplanes in antibacterial ointment before i put them in and i probably should take an ibuprofen before i fly to relieve inflammation and prevent me from experiencing pain esp bc the flight is only an hour and the pressure change is going to be intense. the doctor who saw me was SO nice and kind and caring and took a lot of time with me like.. much more than i thought she would and she was very gentle and exactly what i am looking for. my ear hurts and im angry abt what happened to me but i feel better knowing someone took a lot of time and care to look and make sure i would be ok

#purrs #the mortifying ordeal of having an extremely abnormally narrow ear canal 😍😍😍😍😍😍 i am so scared to fly. i really hope i’ll be ok and that #taking pain meds right before isn’t going to fuck me up. i genuinely have no idea how this is gonna go bc my ear infections have done #lasting damage and i haven’t been on a plane since having them lol 🤪 #ear infection tag #<- not an ear infection but this is my catchall so i can go back and remind myself of the epic highs and lows. sigh
