Anyone else had one of these ear infections that wouldn't die? I
remember the poster named Auntie Dana who had a really bad one. The
ENT and my Endo. said they are very common in diabetics. ENT said
she saw a man who had one for 15 years. Yikes!


Fortunately, I've only had minor ear aches a couple of times, no
infections, but I know they can be beastly to get rid of, and quite
painful. I wish you the best with it.

My 14 yr old and my 14 yr old grandson both picked up ear infections
recently from swimming in a creek on my daughter's getaway farm. Her
partner - a diabetic - also got a badly infected leg. There are nasties in
creeks and rivers etc that can cause all kinds of infections, daughter had
a stomach bug that lingered for months and ended up having stool testing
and found it was a bug common in dirty rivers etc.

When I was a kid, my dad wouldn't let us swim in anything but a pool. In
later years he let us go in a lake once and also in the ocean. I did go in
a lake at girl scout camp. I went a few times as an adult in a lake with my
friend. She couldn't swim so we didn't do much beyond wading. My dad just
freaked at the thought of it. Here there is some kind of bug you can get
from ducks. It's not good.
