Thanks - I’ve been walking quite a bit these last few weeks so the stiffness this morning isn’t quite as bad as it ordinarily would have been.

 

I never thought I’d enjoy it as much as I do. The physical and mental benefits are a godsend just now.

Indeed, I used to go running loads but just go walking for long distances these days and just walk at a faster pace. Stick Spotify etc on my mobile and enjoy the countryside. Added bonus of walking is I can have a tab.

I really don't know why I ever bother with the doctor, get absolutely fuck all from them under normal circumstances, never mind just now. No wonder blokes don't bother going & end up dying of cancer that's been there for months unchecked.

When did you start using them?

5 years ago when I moved here but I've found every other doctor since I became an adult to be the same.

Is there a good bit of countryside around Bielefeld?

I had a really bad bout of this a couple of summers back mate, started when swimming in the pool on holiday. Deaf as a post, felt dizzy and sick loads, constant headaches. Doctors said I was filled up with wax, but wouldn’t help as they no longer syringe ears.
 

As well as those otex drops and the bulb syringe (which weren’t working on their own) I bought one of of these ear pick things. The ex kindly suppressed her disgust and used it on me, managing to dislodge and claw out a ridiculous-sized piece of impacted muck, meaning I could then sluice the rest out with the syringe.
 

Dizziness went off the scale for an hour or two after, just had to lie down in a dark room, but after that the relief was incredible.

 

Annoyingly sold out atm, but this is the one I used in case it’s any help for reference.

Loads mate, the City is basically in the Teutoburg Forest. We are aprrox  a 30 minute drive from the Statue of Hermannsdenkmal  which is a tribute to Arminius ( which is Hermann in German) who along with his followers wiped out three Roman legions in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9AD. Added to that the City has a huge park which runs through it with various other green areas of beauty. Just got back from my daily walk actually and it's Fathers day and a bank holiday over here.

Glad you didn't mistype 'walk' and 'bank' holiday there. Would have ruined my whole weekend!

My fucking right ear has been blocked for nearly two weeks, 'been putting the drops in twice a day every day & tried the Otex home syringe thing tonight, didn't work.

 

The doctor is refusing to see me, constant sore heads, constant ringing in my ear, constantly being half deaf. I would happily pay someome £100 to syringe it properly but the private places I've tried are all shut as well.

 

Fuck off.

Get yourself one of these off eBay. Once you/your missus has cleared out your lughole, you can use it to see if there is anything you've forgotten about up your arse.

I’m so fucking ill today. Constantly feel like I’m gonna puke and my head is booming. It’s like a really bad hangover except I didn’t drink yesterday.
 

I woke my missus up this morning by kicking her repeatedly while I was asleep. She woke me up by getting out of bed and I remembered that in my dream I was having a fight with a giant sentient tablespoon who was being a cunt to me and I was volleying it/him at the exact moment we woke up.

Received a message an hour ago that a very good friend of mine, Tony Elliot (originally from Huyton) died of a Heart attack at the end of January. Only 57 and leaves a wife and young daughter behind in Kenya where he settled. Fucking gutted.

Thank you, Vlad. Very much so mate. Off the scale.

 

The average improvement level is known, proven, many many people have had the drugs and the results have absolutely wowed doctors, patients and academics alike. Of course some benefit more than others for a whole range of complex reasons. But yes, the drugs I was given in January were handed over with the description "life-saving". The ones above, I was told if they can get them to me in the coming years would be "life-changing".

 

I was preparing myself it to be another 5-10 years tbh, after the Covid hit to the economy. Bolt from the blue.

I knew you had some health problems mate but nothing specific. Hopefully this treatment helps you massively as it sounds from some other posts that you've been through the ringer so to speak.
